The energy sector and its key player, Fingrid, will facilitate the green transition as long as we play our cards right, according to Jukka Ruusunen, who will retire at the end of the year.
Electricity transmission must be suspended or restricted when parts
of the main grid and grid connections are built and renovated. Fingrid plans outages with its customers well in advance. Customers should keep their contact details up to date in the My Fingrid service to ensure effective communication of transmission outages.
The International Transmission Operations and Maintenance Study (ITOMS) evaluates the effectiveness
of maintenance among electricity transmission companies every two years. The study again ranked Fingrid among the top performers in terms of maintenance.
The frequency is an indicator of the balance between electricity consumption and production.
Fingrid conducts and updates numerous studies, analyses and
visions to ensure that the power system of Finland remains
capable of serving a society increasingly reliant on electricity.
This work is main grid planning – Fingrid’s core business.
My Fingrid is a central point of access for customers looking for detailed information on power outages and estimates of the locations of faults.
Finland has two transmission system operators: Fingrid and Kraftnät Åland, the latter of which manages the power grid in the Åland Islands. Electricity is produced in Åland and imported, mainly from Sweden.
Transmission outages are a necessary part of the construction and maintenance of the electricity network. Outages should be planned with care to ensure the
security of the energy supply.
The dramatic growth in wind power and the regional concentration on the west coast poses a challenge to the stability of power plants and the power system as a whole.
Enormous wind power projects are being set up in the sea, while industrial-scale solar parks are being built on land. What makes them so compelling now, and how will these projects affect the power system of Finland?
