Construction is advancing on what is described as the world's largest heat storage facility in Vantaa, just north of Helsinki. The project is tied to Finland's district heating networks, storing surplus heat for later use to cut fossil fuel dependence. Energy and urbanism commentators are highlighting it as a notable example of large-scale seasonal energy storage.

Why now: A major renewable energy storage project is progressing, drawing attention amid growing interest in district heating and grid decarbonisation.
