In 2013, Tampereen Energiantuotanto, which is part of the [[Tampereen Energia]] (formerly ''Tampereen Sähkölaitos Group''), generated 1,254 GWh of [[electricity]] and 2,184 GWh of [[district heating]]. The two units of the [[Naistenlahti]] [[power station]] accounted for about 65% of the total electricity production and the [[Lielahti]] power station for about 30%. The Naistenlahti and Lielahti units accounted for 57% and 23% of district heating production, respectively. The ten heating centres in Tampere accounted for 21%.<ref name=ympariston_tila_2014/>{{rp|p=44}}

In 2023, the share of renewable energy in the district heating production was around 80%. The goal was to end the use of [[peat]] completely during that year. [[Hydropower]], wood and nuclear power were used as well as mixed waste, of which 50% is considered renewable.<ref name=ympariston_tila_2014/>{{rp|p=44}} Emissions from energy production have decreased in the 21st century due to the growth of renewable forms of production and the modernisation of the Naistenlahti power plant. In 2013, about 669,000 tonnes of [[carbon dioxide]] and 297 tonnes of [[sulphur dioxide]] were emitted.<ref name=ympariston_tila_2014/>{{rp|pp=46–47}}
