Fingrid is raising the fees for electricity transmission in the
main grid by an average of two per cent in 2022. One of the
key reasons for the increase is the rising cost of market-based
reserves. Reserves ensure that generation and consumption are in
balance in the power system.
Fingrid has succeeded in maintaining its cost-efficiency.
According to the latest European comparison, Fingrid’s grid service
fees are the second-lowest in a reference group of about 20
countries. Fingrid aims to remain among the least expensive
transmission system operators in the future, thereby providing
Finnish companies with a competitive advantage.
- For several years now, we have been able to keep grid pricing
unchanged, or even lower it. We are certain that we can keep on
providing competitive electricity transmission in Europe, even
though the cost and price levels are rising slightly also for us
with the energy revolution. After all, a functioning and robust
main grid is the cornerstone of a clean electricity system and a
functioning electricity market, so it makes sense to keep investing
in it, says Jan Montell, CFO of Fingrid.
The company is executing a demanding investment programme, which
will enable the new investments required for electricity generation
and consumption in Finland. The investment programme will help to
safeguard transmission reliability, implement new connections to
the main grid, as required for the clean electricity system, and
ensure that Finland remains a single electricity price area.
