About Helen.
Helen is one of Finland’s leading energy companies, providing electricity, district heating, and cooling to hundreds of thousands of customers. With operations that cover nearly the entire energy value chain—from production to distribution and customer solutions—Helen plays a central role in ensuring the energy security and sustainability of Helsinki and beyond.
The company is undergoing a profound clean transition, aiming to phase out combustion-based energy production by 2040. Helen is phasing out coal, investing in renewable and distributed energy sources, and modernizing its infrastructure. But this shift is not just about energy production—Helen is also becoming a data- and technology-driven organization that uses digital capabilities to optimize its operations, improve forecasting, and build smarter energy systems.
Data lies at the heart of this transformation. With increasing complexity in energy systems and growing demands for transparency and sustainability, Helen has developed advanced capabilities in data collection, processing, and analysis. These capabilities support better decision-making, enable the development of new services, and contribute to Helen’s leadership in the energy transition.
Forge Digital & Helen: Turning Data into Action.
Forge works in close collaboration with Helen’s Data & AI Unit, supporting their journey toward a smarter energy future. Our partnership focuses on strengthening the company’s data capabilities by providing example project management, data product development, facilitation and other services. Together, we are helping Helen to achieve their ambitious targets with sustainable, reliable and smart energy landscape.
“Forge brought in experienced, proactive people with the exact skills we needed. We’ve learned a lot from them, not just in data work, but also in agile ways of working and project management. They’re easy to approach, proactive, and fit right in with our team, complementing our skills and making collaboration smooth.”
