This year, many important energy policy reforms will be addressed, and they will have a direct impact on European operators in the industry and on every European citizen.
The energy transformation is increasingly visible in our daily lives. Electricity is being produced in a more decentralised manner in smaller units. Research and development play an important role in terms of implementing this major change in the power system in a controlled manner, writes Senior Vice President Asta Sihvonen-Punkka.

As a transmission system operator, Fingrid has a central role in powering Finland. During the past year 2017, we continued to develop the grid for the power system of the future, writes Fingrid’s President and CEO Jukka Ruusunen. Take a look at the Annual Report: annualreport.fingrid.fi/en/

I participated in a training session in which we discussed the joy of work and creativity. What maintains joy and what kills it? Text by Senior Vice President Tiina Miettinen, HR and Communications. PUBLISHED 27.2.2018

The days when electricity flowed in one direction from combustion plants to consumer outlets are over. We are now in the midst of a global energy revolution caused by decentralised technologies and digitalisation – and Finland should take advantage of it. PUBLISHED 24.11.2017
I have followed the revision of the Finnish Working Hours Act with great interest. The need for this reform is apparent and, therefore, it was quite unfortunate that the working group tasked with it never reached a conclusion, writes Tiina Miettinen, Fingrid’s Senior Vice President, HR and communications, in her blog posting.

One of the goals of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is to “by 2030, ensure that people everywhere have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature.” Consumers are being asked to take action to prevent climate change around the world. Large problems are solved by small acts on the part of consumers. Information and the right attitudes turn into responsible choices in a trivial way. I like to call this kind of wishful thinking the myth of the green consumer.
