The third transmission line between Finland and Sweden, running from Pyhänselkä in Muhos, Finland, to Messaure in Northern Sweden, is proceeding as planned. Fingrid and Svenska kraftnät are jointly responsible for the project. The connection will reduce the price of electricity in Finland.

The Main Grid Control Centre ensures the availability of electricity around the clock

Fingrid’s Main Grid Control Centre in Helsinki works all hours of the day to ensure that every village, town and city in Finland has enough electricity. The control centre handles routine tasks, as well as unplanned tasks when a swift reaction is needed to prevent disturbances in the availability of electricity. Some disturbances also affect the intra-day electricity price.
