Twice as much electricity will soon be transmitted in Helsinki

Fingrid, Helen Electricity Network, and the City of Helsinki are working closely together, as the need for
electricity transmission in Helsinki is expected to double in the next few years. The upcoming new 400-kilovolt cable link will contribute to the green transition and the realisation of the Western Boulevard City.

Always ready

Fingrid is prepared for the event of electricity production disturbances.
In addition to buying from the balancing power market, it has access to approximately 1,200 megawatts of reserve power. Reserve power plants are always on standby, but the full 1,200 megawatts is very rarely needed.

ment based on stakeholder feedback.

An electricity shortage occurs when electricity consumption momentarily exceeds the supply of electricity, and it becomes necessary to restrict

what to do if an electricity shortage arises and how to get through it.
