The renewal of the electricity market represents an opportunity for market actors and consumers. However, the transition phase will create pressure to change and uncertainty for both groups as the discussion shifts to bidirectional power system products, energy community regulations and energy storage.
Fingrid’s strategic projects strengthen the company’s target of remaining agile during the energy market transformation and safeguarding power system functionality in a reliable way. The company’s fast, new investments over a 5–10 year time window are aimed at proactively addressing the challenges of the global clean-up project

The Smart grid working group appointed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment has published its interim report. The main message is that, in the future, consumers will have more opportunities to participate in the electricity market and be able to influence their electricity bill to a greater extent. A smart electricity system will provide actors with more possibilities, and is a cost-effective way to respond to the challenges of the energy transformation.
