Fingrid’s safety theme for 2022 is “Occupational safety is created by individuals and teams”.

We live in two worlds. One is the physical world, and the other is a digital world based on technology people have created. We have adapted and evolved to live in the former throughout the history of humankind, but the digital world is still relatively new to us, writes Jarno Limnéll.

Although some time has passed since the market was opened up, many transmission system operators still lack clarity as to their role in the electricity market. Fingrid endeavours to provide 100 per cent of its transmission capacity to the market.

It is a Monday morning, and a call comes in from the main grid control centre. Over the weekend, the Swedish transmission system operator Svenska kraftnät (Svk) began limiting the transmission of electricity from Finland to Central Sweden. I recalled a moment last summer when Svk was forced to limit the transmission of electricity from Norway, leading to confusion in the electricity markets – surely history will not repeat itself on the border between Finland and Sweden…?

The safety theme for 2021 is “Think before you act!” writes Karri Koskinen.

An organisation’s reputation can be measured and influenced. Assertive, proactive steps should be taken to boost the organisation’s reputation.
If action is taken too late, it can be difficult to appear credible, writes Riku Ruokolahti.

Although it is important for us to discharge our statutory duties properly, we are also able to generate significant added value by investing in value chains that are visible to customers and offering expert resources for them, writes Jussi Jyrinsalo, Fingrid’s Senior Vice President of Grid Services and Planning.

An occupational safety campaign will begin in 2021 with the aim of ingraining a “think before you act” mindset into everything we do, writes Timo Kiiveri, Senior Vice President of Asset Management from Fingrid.

Twenty-five years of open electricity markets have gone by in a flash. The markets have expanded, and marketplaces and connections have improved, writes Fingrid’s Executive Vice President Asta Sihvonen-Punkka.

The story of the Nordic Balancing Model management project run jointly by the Nordic transmission system operators does not begin with Danish hygge or Swedish café culture, writes Maria Joki-Pesola, Program Lead of the Nordic Balancing Model program.
