Pori Energia has completed its purchase of Leppäkosken Sähkö, taking over a network that serves more than 30,000 customers in Pirkanmaa and Satakunta.

The acquisition, agreed this summer and cleared by regulators, brings a network serving more than 30,000 customers across Pirkanmaa and Satakunta into Pori Energia’s fold, YLE reports.

Pertti Menonen has been named chief executive and Maria Rautanen chair of the board. Jukka Rajala, who became chief executive in 2025, will step down. Pori Energia chief executive Petri Paajanen called the purchase a major transaction for the company and said it was financed by Pori Energia itself rather than with proceeds from last year’s sale of a minority stake to Polhem Infra. The purchase price has not been disclosed.

The move follows earlier restructuring of Leppäkoski-related businesses this year, including municipal stake sales and separate transfers of Leppäkoski’s heating business Ikaalinen's sale of its Leppäkoski stake and the sale of Leppäkosken Lämmön to Loimua Loimua's purchase of Leppäkosken Lämmön.
