A busy year for balancing management
The balancing management reform will boost the efficiency of Fingrid’s work in balancing electricity production and consumption. At the same time, several new tools and methods will be introduced, so customers will have a wider range of opportunities to participate in the electricity market.24.06.2024
The power system is expanding, driven by wind and solar power
The need for electricity will rise in Finland in the coming years. At the same time, fossil fuels are being phased out entirely. Therefore, wind and solar power must produce even more clean electricity. How can we ensure there is enough electricity on calm, cloudy days?17.06.2024
Working with the energy sector to maintain stability in a converter-dominated power system
The power system of Finland is undergoing a major change. It is increasingly dominated by power converters, as wind power is becoming the main form of electricity production and solar power is also increasing in importance. In recent years, Fingrid has been leading the development of methods to ensure the technical functionality of converter-dominated power systems in Finland and elsewhere in the Nordic region.13.06.2024

The green transition also needs grids
Networks are the backbone of the green transition. The backbone of Finland´s energy system should also be a matter of prime importance to the country.
Getting home safely every day
A record number of investment and maintenance projects are underway in the main grid. Despite the large workload, electrical safety must be a priority at all times.
Clear and timely advice on every aspect
An efficient, reliable, market-based power system that incentivises investment in all sectors is in society’s interests.
Active electricity markets = strong system security
In order to maintain system security, it is vital to incorporate new and existing forms of flexibility in electricity production, storage and consumption into the reserve markets.
Intraday market trades saved money and strengthened operational security
When a cross-border interconnector is disrupted, Fingrid has several means to guarantee the previously made trades are delivered, as the interconnector is not capable of transmitting all the...
Put your safety shoes on, Dad!
Stay sharp and think safely every day. Warning is caring!

Electricity in the land of fire and ice
The Icelandic transmission system operator Landsnet’s grid is a completely independent and self-sufficient electricity grid that serves the population of about 375 300 people of Iceland. Volcanic activity in Iceland’s bedrock can damage the grid, but it is also an excellent source of energy.
Green corridors for flying squirrels
The flying squirrel is an endangered species. Within the European Union, it can only be found in Finland and
Estonia. Fingrid safeguards the breeding and resting sites of the species by establishing green corridors along the transmission line routes required for the green transition.
Many balls in the air
Detailed planning and foresight are the key jobs of a project manager on a transmission line project. They must also be ready to respond swiftly to unexpected challenges.
