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:
Fingrid''s control room didn''t record unusual situations in maintaining the Finnish power balance. The main effect was that reserves for system balancing were not available from Norway or Sweden due to market delay. Prices of domestic reserves went high and Fingrid''s purchasing costs were manifold to those of Friday.

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
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-neutrality targets. Wind power is the most important form of production. In addition, the scenarios vary in terms of the
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

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 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
The need for electricity will rise in Finland in the coming years. At the same time, fossil fuels are being phased out entirely. Therefore, wind and solar power must produce even more clean
Power system management Maintenance of power balance Maintaining system security Fingrid is responsible for maintaining Finland''s main grid. The main grid includes all the 400 kV, 220 kV and 110 kV high-voltage lines and substations in meshed operation. The main grid includes approximately 14,500 km of transmission lines (2023) and 121
If other types of grid energy storage systems are to be connected to the power system, Fingrid will determine their requirements separately. The European grid connection network codes do not currently set any requirements on grid energy storage systems. These Specifications were established taking into account the shared goals of European grid
A smart power system is bringing new solutions to the developing electricity market. Through the smartness of the power system, it will be possible to increase the ability of the power system to balance electricity production and consumption at all times, and in this way to enable the increasing utilisation of wind and solar energy.
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.
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.
Finland''s energy production surplus/deficit. Information is based on the real time measurements in Fingrid''s power control system. Power deficit/surplus represents the balance between power
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
"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
Fingrid''s electricity system vision scenarios present the possibilities of an electrified Finland in the coming decades. The goal is to present Finland''s opportunities to compete for electricity production and consumption projects and to create a long-term view of the development needs of the main power transmission network.

The system security criteria of the power system are conditions which must be fulfilled in order to attain a certain system security level. Finland and the other Nordic countries use the N-1 criterion, according to which the power system withstands normal individual faults and the disconnection of a faulty component in the 400 and 220 kV meshed

Fingrid promotes the efficiency and transparency of the electricity market by publishing open data for public use. This platform provides you with tools for searching our datasets and accessing the data in machine readable format. Datasets cover several broad subject categories and include both measured data and forecasts. Search datasets.
Fingrid orders up- or down-regulation from the Balancing energy market. Down-regulation considers increasing of consumption or reducing of generation. Reserve power plants electrical production is based on the real-time measurements in Fingrid's operation control system.
Location information is a very rough estimate based on Finnish distribution grid operators information. The Data before 31.05.2023 is in hourly resolution. This is the total solar power production capacity used in Fingrid's solar power forecast. It is based on the small scale production statistics gathered by the Energy authority.
This approach is also used in other production and consumption projects, allowing Fingrid to focus on developing the main grid. The reform aims to reduce consumers’ exposure to fossil fuel price spikes, to accelerate investments in renewable energy sources (RES), and flexibility resources, and to enhance prevention of market manipulation.
Fingrid procures mFRR capacity through the balancing capacity market, which is held when needed. Balance service provider pledges itself to leave regulating bids on the regulation market. For that the balance service provider is entitled to capacity payment. Day-ahead transmission capacity from Finland (FI) to North-Sweden (SE1).
In situations where Fingrid has activated balancing energy for purposes other than balancing, the published price may differ from the final price for balancing energy. The published price is indicative. Aggregate hourly metering data for electricity accounting points in Finnish distribution networks.
