Reliable domestic production and imports are needed to ensure sufficient electricity supply in the winter 2024-2025

Green corridors for flying squirrels

On standby, ready to support the main grid control centre

Many balls in the air

The flying squirrel is an endangered species. Fingrid safeguards the breeding and resting sites of the species by establishing green corridors along the transmission line routes required for the green transition.

Fingrid has employees scheduled for standby shifts, ready to respond to phone calls at all hours of the day. Their task is to support the Main Grid Control Centre in the event of a disturbance.

Detailed planning and foresight are the key jobs of a project manager on a transmission line project. They must also be ready to respond swiftly to unexpected challenges.
