Enersense is building 100 kilometres of new main grid in Central Finland

Enersense has won Fingrid’s tender concerning the construction of a new 400-kilovolt transmission line in Central Finland. In total, 100 kilometres of new transmission line will be built. Enersense has also designed the transmission line that will now be constructed.

The new line will run between Alajärvi and Petäjävesi, from South Ostrobothnia to Central Finland.

“The main grid is an important part of Finland’s critical infrastructure. It is an honour for us to ensure the transmission line is built with high quality and safety. The agreement we have now signed strengthens our position as a lifecycle partner for main grid projects, as we have also designed the line to be built,” says Juha Silvola, EVP, Enersense’s Power business unit.

The project includes dismantling the old line and constructing a new one. New pylons and foundations will also be built, and the new transmission line will be connected to four different substations.

The value of the project is approximately EUR 27 million, and it will be recorded in Enersense’s Power business unit’s order backlog for the third quarter. The decision becomes legally binding after the appeal period specified in the Finnish procurement law has ended.
