Eno energy co-operative is a community-based enterprise located in Eno. It was established in 1999 by 12 local forest owners. Currently the co-operative is owned by 55 local forest owners and the aim is to produce inexpensive district heat for the local community with local energy wood. In addition to affordable price of heat (municipality building and private customers have saved without taxes about 4.1 M€ during 15 years compared to light fuel oil), there are many local benefits such as local forest owners receive income from selling energy wood, energy wood harvesting entrepreneurs get work, thinning of too dense young forest improves growth and quality of remaining trees, net carbon dioxide emissions are reduced because imported oil is replaced by renewable forest chips (5 million kg annually) and local networks are created. In addition the actions employ between 7-10 men/year. Currently the co-operative owns three heating plants and about 11 km long district heat distribution network.
