In principle, it should be simple to combat climate change, at least from the perspective of an electricity transmission system operator. We should make the power system clean and electrify everything we can, writes Fingrid’s Senior Expert Mikko Heikkilä.
Jukka Ruusunen, Fingrid’s CEO, says that the government’s programme will enable Finland to become a pioneer in terms of its clean, cost-efficient power system.
An electrical kit he received as Christmas gift sealed the career choice of Matti Supponen, who is an electricity market expert in the EU.
The Clean Energy Package is taking the European electricity market in a more market-oriented, flexible and efficient direction – one step at a time. However, the details of the package include many challenging questions.
This year, many important energy policy reforms will be addressed, and they will have a direct impact on European operators in the industry and on every European citizen.
The Directorate-General for Energy develops and implements the European energy policy under the guidance of the European Commission. Director of The Internal Energy Market, Klaus-Dieter Borchardt, explains the latest developments in energy market integration.
The change in the electricity system is underway. The driving force is climate change and its prevention. Emissions trading and targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency are speeding up the change of the entire energy and electricity systems to carbon-free. PUBLISHED 2.11.2016
This time of the year is typical for discussing the adequacy of electricity in Finland for citizens and industry. It’s a well-grounded discussion, because Finland is extremely dependent on the import of electricity. PUBLISHED 31.10.2016
The chair of the Green League Ville Niinistö believes that Fingrid is on the wrong track if it ”resists small, renewable energy subsidies”.
According to Fortum Oyj’s President and CEO Pekka Lundmark, energy policy needs to have a balance between climate targets and electricity market efficiency and security of supply. Finland could be an active supporter and developer of a joint energy policy in the Nordic countries.
