kantaverkko
Kantaverkko is the Finnish term for the national high-voltage electric transmission network that forms the backbone of Finland's electricity system. It carries bulk power over long distances from generation sources to distribution networks and major industrial customers. The network operates primarily at high voltages such as 400 kV and 110 kV, with the 400 kV layer serving as the main transmission backbone.
Management and regulation: In Finland, the kantaverkko is operated and maintained by the transmission system operator
Interconnections and role: The kantaverkko is interconnected with neighboring grids, enabling cross-border electricity exchange with Sweden,
Relation to other networks: The kantaverkko is distinguished from the distribution network, which distributes electricity to
Importance for energy transition: The high-voltage transmission network is central to integrating renewable energy sources, expanding
