Together, we could make it through an electricity shortage

An electricity shortage occurs when electricity consumption momentarily exceeds the supply of electricity, and it becomes necessary to restrict
consumption. Fingrid, the distribution system operators, and the authorities have agreed on
what to do if an electricity shortage arises and how to get through it.

Clearing increases safety

Managing the vegetation near transmission lines ensures electricity
safety and transmission reliability. Regular clearing also helps to maintain vital open habitats for certain animal and plant species.

Record-breaking wave of investment in substations

Fingrid has more than a hundred substation projects in progress over two years, and the portfolio of projects underway is worth more than EUR 430 million. One key factor behind this boom is the green transition, which is taking Finland towards a carbon-neutral economy.
