The consolidated financial ts atements include the parent company Fingrid Oyj and its wholly owned subsidiaries Finextra Oy and Fingrid Datahub Oy. The consolidated associated companies are Nord Pool Holding AS (ownership 18.8%) and eSett Oy (ownership 25.0%). The annual review and the financial ts atements of the Group’s parent company and its subsidiaries are prepared in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Act and the guidelines and statements of the Finnish Accounting Standards Board. The information on personnel is based on the calculation systems used by human resources management, and the calculation of the relevant information is in compliance with the general guidelines of the Finnish Accounting Standards Board concerning the preparation of annual reviews.

The reporting applies integrated reporting principles, is in compliance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 2016, Core requirements, and has been verified by an independent third party. The boundaries of the social and environmental data do not include the associated companies. Requirements for corporate responsibility reporting by state-owned companies and environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting guidance for stock exchanges are also taken into account.

Annual Report 2019 Fingrid in brief Fingrid Oyj is Finland’s transmission system operator. Our owners are the State of Finland and Finnish pension companies. Our mission is to secure a reliable supply of electricity in our society in all situations and to promote a clean, market-based power system. A reliable supply of electricity is secured by transmitting electricity in the main grid, i.e. the high-voltage network, from production plants to industry and power companies that then transmit the electricity to homes. The nationwide main grid is the trunk network to which major electricity producers, industrial plants that use large amounts of electricity and electricity distribution networks are connected. Fingrid guarantees a disturbance-free electricity supply in Finland. Electricity cannot be stored, which is why electricity production and consumption must be in balance at all times. Our company’s statutory task is to take care of that round the clock. Finland is part of the Nordic power system, which means that changes in production and consumption in our neighbouring countries also affect us. Electricity is continuously transmitted from one country to another, and Finland is also connected to the Central European power system with transmission connections. Finland also has transmission connections with Russia and Estonia. With cross-border connections, we can ensure system security even on the coldest winter days. Sufficient transmission connections are also the best way to secure the functioning of the market. Key figures: The company was established on 29 November 1996 and its operations began on 1 September 1997. The main grid encompasses approx. 14,100 kilometres of 400-, 220- and 110-kilovolt transmission lines, 115 substations, three HVDC connections and 10 of the company’s own reserve power plants. Fingrid is owned by the State of Finland (direct holding), the National Emergency Supply Agency, Aino Holding Ky, Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company and other institutional investors. Turnover amounts to EUR 789.4 (852.8) million. The balance sheet total is EUR 2.1 (2.1) billion. High credit ratings: ’AA-’ S&P and ’A’ Fitch Ratings At the end of the year, Fingrid had 380 (380) employees, 338 (327) of whom were permanent.

  • Seismic Soundings at the Muhos Formation
    SEISMIC SOUNDINGS AT THE MUHOS FORMATION H. KORHONEN and M. T. PORKKA KORHONEN H. and PORKKA M. T. 1975: Seismic soundings at the Muhos formation. Bull. Geol. Soc. Finland 47, 19—24. The Muhos formation near the city of Oulu in Finland consists of sedimentary rocks lying on the Precambrian bedrock. The thickness of this Jotnian forma- tion varies from a few tenth of meters to one kilometer. The formation is covered by Quaternary deposits. Seismic refraction surveys made at selected sites on the formation show velocities from 300 to 1 900 m/s for Quaternary deposits and from 4 700 to 5 800 m/s for the basement. In Jotnian sedimentary rocks the velocities vary from 2 000 to 4 100 m/s generally increasing with depth. At site Tupos, in the middle of the formation the refraction profiling, however, did not yield results from depths greater than 200—300 m. This is in disagreement with the well-velocity survey, which indicated higher velocities at greater depths. The contradiction might be explained by a low velocity layer situated near the top of the formation. The density determina- tions support this interpretation. H. Korhonen and M. T.

  • Successful Launch of Swe Common Synchronised Operations with Nwe Price
    North-Western Price Coupling of South-Western Europe Regions Europe SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF SWE COMMON SYNCHRONISED OPERATIONS WITH NWE PRICE COUPLING 4 February 2014. The South-Western Europe (SWE) and North-Western Europe (NWE) day-ahead price coupling project partners are pleased to announce the successful launch of common synchronised operations of NWE and SWE day-ahead markets. Full price coupling on the French-Spanish border will be launched at a later stage. This has been decided by the project partners, following common testing and alignment of Gate Closure Times. Both projects operate using the systems and procedures provided by the Price coupling of Regions (PCR) initiative. This launch is a significant step towards an integrated European power market. In pursuit of European day-ahead Price coupling, NWE and SWE have designed a step-by-step approach to integrate the Iberian market and NWE. Steps to integrate the day-ahead markets in the SWE and NWE regions have been underway since April 2013, addressing the joint testing of systems and operational procedures for the combined NWE and SWE regions. Alignment of timings in the SWE and NWE day-ahead markets successfully took place on 15 October 2013, when the Iberian day-ahead Gate Closure Time was switched to 12h00 CET. The penultimate step was achieved on 4 February with the go-live of common synchronised operations of the NWE and SWE projects for delivery on 5 February 2014. SWE uses the same PCR systems and operational procedures as NWE. For the time being, PCR will operate without offering capacity at the French-Spanish border to the price coupling, so the daily explicit auction on this border will be maintained as it is today.

Shooting ranges are not covered by the scope of the Industrial Emissions Directive, so there is no joint European steering for the Best Available Techniques. Over the last years, a high-level national environmental protection guideline has been pre- pared by the so-called AMPY project involving, for example, the environmental administration. Regardless of this, both the shooting range operators and the representatives of the public ad- ministration saw fit to collect the technical and procedural solutions of environmental protection at shooting ranges and assess them in more detail.
