Areas for new industrial activities, data centers, bio- and circular economy solutions, sustainable energy production, eco-terminals, logistics and SME's in Kannus
Several strong areas in Kannus
Kannus has several strong areas for new industrial activities, data centers, bio- and circular economy solutions, sustainable energy production, eco-terminals, and the growth of local SME’s.
Hydrogen economy and other energy-intensive industry: Suitable for areas with advanced electrical infrastructure and close proximity to power lines, hydrogen network alignments and large plot entities.
Bio- and circular economy: An industrial ecosystem utilizing side streams, energy, nutrients, logistics, and services being built around the Kannus Eco-Industrial Park and Kannus Biogas plant.
Logistics, warehousing and SME industry: Available areas perfectly suited for lighter industry, warehousing, engineering works, maintenance, and the expansion of local business base.
Energy storage and other electrical system solutions: Proximity to wind power, substations, and power lines enables flexibility solutions for the electrical system, among other things.
Excellent logistics location (highway and railway)
Lapinkangas industrial area master zoning plan pending (Pohjanneva)
Close proximity to planned Lakeuslinja 400 kV power line area (expected completion in 2027)
Close proximity to planned national hydrogen network
Close proximity to Kukonkylä substation
Suitable for large-scale energy use as Kukonkylä substation enables large projects with plenty of capacity available, e.g.:
hydrogen refining (e-methane, e-methanol, eSAF)
energy-intensive activities, e.g., data center, hydrogen production
Excellent logistics location (main highway 28 and railway)
Located within the pending Poleenkangas master plan area
Large Biogas plant planned for the area
National hydrogen network alignment under 1 km away
Part of the emerging circular economy cluster
Strong synergy with energy and material flows
Enables the development of a bio- and circular economy ecosystem: e.g.,
further processing of fertilizers
hydrogen refining (e-methane, e-methanol, eSAF)
operators needing carbon dioxide in their operations (e.g., green concrete production, greenhouses)
utilization of waste heat
Distance to regional road 775 is 1.5 km
Current and planned power lines are nearby, Polvikoski substation about 2 km away
The area is suitable for smaller, low-traffic operations that rely on electrical infrastructure
Potential target for individual operators, e.g.:
Solar power and BESS
Located near the planned Tuohiräme wind farm
Distance to Tuohiräme wind farm substation is approx. 1 km
Located along connecting road 7720; distance to regional road 775 is approx. 5 km
Distance to national hydrogen network line is 3 km
Road network condition is generally good
The area is suitable for, e.g., individual production facilities and storage operations
Potential operations, e.g.:
data center
hydrogen production
solar power and BESS
Located fairly close to the central urban area
Distance to highway 28 is approx. 5 km
Hydrogen network line runs right next to the area
Condition of connecting road 7714 is mainly good, condition of road 18077 is variable
The area is suitable for, e.g.,
logistics and warehousing operations
light industry
Located in the vicinity of connecting road 7540
Situated fairly close to the Kuuronkallio wind farm; potential for energy-intensive operations
Road network condition is variable
The area is best suited for low-traffic operations
Potential target for individual operators, e.g.:
Solar power and BESS
The Raonhaka industrial area is bordered by the railway to the south and highway 28 to the north
The area is located within the detailed plan area of Kannus center and mostly in industrial use today
A power line runs through the area
Several zoned plots ready for industrial use: from 1000 m2 upto 7 ha
Potential for small and medium-sized operators e.g.:
logistics, and warehousing
manufacturing
engineering
service and maintenance
