Offshore wind grid integration in Finland
Challenges and plans for connecting Finland's future offshore wind farms to the main grid.
Future Growth
Finland has significant potential for offshore wind, especially in the territorial waters and the exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
Connection Challenges
Offshore projects require expensive subsea cables and new onshore substations to bring large amounts of power into the main grid.
Grid Planning
Fingrid is actively planning for the integration of offshore wind, including potential offshore grid hubs to connect multiple projects.
Regulatory Framework
The government is developing new legislation to clarify the rules for offshore wind development in the EEZ, including auction models.
