Updated Prospects for Electricity Production and Consumption –
Current News, Power System. Fingrid is preparing for a significant increase in electricity production and consumption. By 2030, electricity production and consumption could be 50 percent higher than today, and by 2035, even double compared to current levels. The strong growth is expected to start at the end of the 2020s.
power system
Finland will transition to a 15-minute imbalance settlement period on 22 May 2023, when the imbalance settlement system will begin using a 15-minute resolution instead of one hour. The centralised information exchange unit, datahub, and most energy metering will also switch to a 15-minute resolution.
Smart power system must be financially attractive to

The electricity system is expanding and becoming more
The shift in the electricity system increases the need for power system reserves and solutions that ensure the smooth management of changes and disturbances in the grid. In real terms, main grid tariffs have fallen. Previously, the fees were raised two per cent in 2022, while in 2019 Fingrid reduced its grid service fees by eight per cent.
Fingrid will modernise a substation in Jyväskylä to improve power
The Finnish transmission system operator Fingrid will modernise the Rauhalahti substation in Jyväskylä. The modernisation of the substation will improve the system security of the power grid and make it possible to connect the electric boilers of the energy company Alva to the main grid, thereby achieving cleaner district heating production.
Changes to the main grid fees and connection principles for
The electricity system needs a lot more flexibility due to the energy transition. Electricity storage, or batteries, are an ideal solution. In 2025, the electricity storage capacity charge will be €87.5/MW per month, i.e. half the capacity fee for a power plant. In addition, Fingrid is planning a reform of the connection fee, which aims
The power system needs more reserves
Previously, reserve power was mainly generated by power plants, but nowadays, it is increasingly provided by large factories and battery installations. The use of reserves and the need for new types of reserves are increasing substantially due to the energy revolution, Nordic balance management requirements, and the commissioning of the
Grid code specifications for power generating facilities
Power generating facilities (''power plants'') with a rated power output exceeding 0.8 kW connected to the Finnish power system must fulfill the Grid Code Specifications for Power Generating Facilities (''Specifications''). The requirements are based on the European Network Code (European Commission Regulation 2016/631), to which Fingrid

The power system needs reserves to keep electricity production and consumption balanced every hour of the day and maintain a stable grid frequency. Fingrid hopes new players will join the electricity reserve markets – now, getting involved is easier than ever. 25.3.2024
Fingrid Magazine 3/2024: reform of the grid service fee will
Metsä Group''s Pirita Mikkanen, a Fingrid customer interviewed for the article, says that her company is interested in the possibility of supporting the power system in certain pre-agreed situations by flexibly adjusting its electricity consumption in return for a fixed rebate. Some of the other articles in issue 3/2024 of the Fingrid Magazine:

Transition underway in the power system
Fingrid''s power system vision presents four alternative scenarios for the future. They all foresee the electrification of transport, heating and industry, further sector integration, and Finland reaching its carbon
Offshore Wind Power on Market Terms
To ensure the reliability of the power system, the bundling of large production hubs is also limited to a maximum size of 1.3 GW. In addition to offshore wind power, onshore wind power and industrial-scale solar power accelerate the green transition by meeting the growing electricity consumption driven by new consumption investments.

Fingrid magazine 1/2024: The power system needs more reserves
The main theme of this issue is power system reserves. The energy transition is significantly increasing the need for reserves. In the editorial of Fingrid magazine 1/2024, Tuomas Rauhala, Senior Vice President, Power System Operation, writes about the new normal: larger power fluctuations in the electricity system in Finland and the other
Reliable domestic production and imports are needed to ensure
According to Fingrid''s analysis, the power system can cope with a single major fault at a large production plant or at a cross-border connection, but if several faults occur simultaneously, the power situation will become much tighter. The electricity system has become increasingly dependent on the weather. In terms of electricity adequacy

Fast Frequency Reserve (FFR)
The operation of the power system follows a dimensioning principle according to which the loss of a single electricity production unit or a HVDC link must not cause the frequency to fall below 49.0 Hz. The magnitude of the transient frequency change following a disturbance depends on the magnitude of the power change caused by the disturbance
Fingrid Group – Management''s Review 1 January–30 September
The processing of the determination principles by the Energy Authority is pending. In Fingrid''s view, the system protection scheme to be implemented exclusively for OL 3 that enables the use of OL 3 above the 1300 MW power limit should not be included in the system responsibility assigned to Fingrid.
The power system is expanding, driven by wind and solar power
"Power plants with side-by-side solar and wind power production are currently under development. These plants can share one grid connection. In the future, hybrid power plants could also include grid energy storage in the form of a battery, further raising the utilisation rate of the connection," says Risto Kuusi, Senior Expert at Fingrid.
