Imatra 1929 and 2020
The Imatra hydroelectric power plant began operating in 1929, along with the Imatra substation, which was the first substation on Finland’s main grid. The first transmission line on the main grid went from Imatra to Vyborg and onwards to Helsinki and Turku via Hikiä. In 2020, Fingrid commissioned a new substation in Imatra and began modernising the Imatra–Huutokoski transmission line.

The Lake Line’s transmission capacity will double
The work to upgrade the Lake Line from Oulu to Lappeenranta to a 400-kilovolt transmission line began in the summer and autumn with the planning of environmental impact assessments (EIAs). The first projects to be assessed are the Vaala–Joroinen project and the Rovaniemi–Vaala project further north.

The electricity transmission main grid got its start in 1929, and this year it will celebrate an impressive 90 years of operation. We’re celebrating this anniversary in a working way; grid development continues because the need to transmit electricity will grow in the future as well.
