Power line areas are highly suitable places to feed game animals. Elk and deer seek out oats and clover, while a wetland or pond could be placed in dips under power lines to cater for game birds. Putting the land to effective use increases its value to local residents and hunters.
Fingrid’s transmission lines are mainly located on land owned by private individuals. The aim of active communication is to facilitate interaction between the authorities, Fingrid, contractors and landowners throughout the various phases of transmission line projects.

When Fingrid plans a transmission line route, a team of experts also assesses its impacts on the landscape. Landscape values can be associated with nature or the built environment and history. For example, a rapids or factory milieu may be a valuable site where the route selection is carefully considered.
