According to an international comparative study, Fingrid is one of the most cost-efficient transmission system operators in Europe.
In 2020, Fingrid will keep the unit prices of transmission pricing at the current level.
This year, Fingrid took third place in the Large Companies category of the Responsible Summer Job competition.
Fingrid’s grid design and future investments include contingencies for a major transformation of the energy market. The growth in wind power poses the greatest challenge.
ENTSO-E ‘Innovative and digital solutions’ panel zeroed in on the future of energy.
Dimitrios Chaniotis, Committee Chair for ENTSO-E System Development, says that the year 2030 is associated with ambitious targets set by energy and climate policy objectives which impact the way the grid is developed, operated and marketed.
Frost accumulates on earth wires and forces them down onto the phase conductors, creating a line fault that causes the power to be cut from the line. To prevent this problem, Fingrid dislodges the frost using a new helicopter technique. Nowadays, frost builds up in new places and in vastly different amounts every year.
Fingrid is handling the work site supervision for the Oulujoki project entity in cooperation with Sitema Oy. At the same time, remote monitoring methods are also being developed.
Last July, Fingrid took part in SuomiAreena for the first time.
Fingrid’s network map now contains information about environmental sites that must be taken into consideration when power lines are planned, built and maintained.
