Better data and customer-oriented services

In its ICT operations, Fingrid is learning to make services that are more effective at addressing the changing needs of stakeholders. The critical nature of data management, which forms the basis for new services, came to light during planning for the digitalisation of substations. In addition, the process to modernise the extranet services for customers led to the creation of a new agile methodology known as DoIT, in which services are developed using cloud services according to the customer’s needs.

A virtual transmission line runs through the landscape

What does the expropriation procedure involve?

Expropriation is a normal means of executing a linear construction project. The procedure begins when the project commences and an expropriation permit application is submitted, and it ends when compensation is assessed and paid following construction work. Landowners have the opportunity to give their views on the transmission line route during the planning phase and the expropriation permit application phase.
