Fingrid instructs its stakeholders on the location of various structures in the vicinity of power lines by issuing “crossing statements” for line areas. We need builders to provide information on everything that is built above and below ground in power line areas.
Fingrid is seeking cost-effective solutions for identifying equipment faults in substations.
Fingrid’s operation planning unit is constantly producing forecasts of electricity consumption, generation and transmission to support the electricity system. As more and more electricity comes from weather-dependent generation – solar and wind power – the importance of forecasts will also grow.
Network planning requires national and international cooperation. A vital tool for this is Europe’s ten-year network development plan (TYNDP), which is drafted every two years by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E).
Finland has 1,300 megawatts of reserve power for use in the event of a disruption in electricity generation. Fingrid is responsible for ensuring the operational reliability of reserve power at all ten of its own plants and at seven leased plants. Reserve power is constantly on standby, although there are only a handful of disruptions each year, and the full power output is very rarely needed.
Fingrid’s newsletter has been revamped. We’ve combined newsletters from different services into a single publication.
Fingrid and Svenska kraftnät’s joint project to build a third cross-border electricity connection has received a grant of EUR 4.3 million for the technical evaluation phase.
The new four-year surveillance period to govern electricity grid operations will begin next year.
The University of Tampere has awarded Fingrid’s HVDC Unit Manager Tuomas Rauhala the title of docent in the field of decentralised resources in the electrical power system.
The new Radiation Act that took effect in December specifies limit values for electromagnetic fields
