Overview

High Tech Center (HTC) Keilaniemi Waterfront is a modern office complex located in Keilaniemi, Espoo—Finland’s largest and most prestigious business district. The project involved a comprehensive electrification effort to equip the parking garage and outdoor deck with modern charging infrastructure. Sähkö-Kamut, a specialized contractor and established dealer for Harju Elekter, managed the project from the bidding phase in the previous spring to final handover in February.

Challenge

The primary objective was to implement a large-scale charging infrastructure (64 points) within a high-traffic professional environment. The project required seamless integration with existing systems, as the parking hall already utilized Harju Elekter stations. Furthermore, the contractor had to navigate global infrastructure supply chain difficulties during the process to ensure the project remained on schedule for its February deadline.

Solution

Sähkö-Kamut utilized their internal design expertise to draft the plans, which were then refined in collaboration with Harju Elekter. The decision to use Harju Elekter products was driven by:

Compatibility: Matching the existing hardware already installed in the facility.
Integrated Services: Familiarity with the eParking service and eTolppa products via the partnership between Harju Elekter and IGL-Technologies.
Collaborative Pricing: Close cooperation during the bidding phase to ensure a competitive and technically sound offer for the end customer.

Technical description

The installation consists of a robust charging network tailored for both indoor and outdoor conditions:

Parking Garage (Level K1):

400A Busbar system for efficient power distribution.
28 units of 2x22kW Type 2 Elektra Design A1, OCPP -charging stations

Outdoor Deck:

4 units of 2x22kW Type 2 Elektra Design A1, eTolppa -charging stations.
1 eTolppa Gateway unit housed in an aluminum enclosure for connectivity.

Future Expansion:

The system is designed to be upgraded with a dynamic load management center manufactured by Harju Elekter. This will allow for real-time monitoring and allocation of available electrical capacity.

Outcome

The project was successfully handed over in February 2026, meeting the set schedule despite minor logistical hurdles. The collaboration highlights a successful “independent dealer” model where the contractor handles the needs assessment and design, while the manufacturer provides high-quality hardware and technical support. As the EV fleet in Finland continues to grow, both companies expect charging infrastructure to remain a significant and expanding part of their business operations.
