Peak load capacity 2022

December 2022

The Energy Authority decided to select no capacity for the peak load capacity system from 1 November 2022 to 31 October 2023. Fingrid Oyj will maintain its readiness to implement the system as required by law, even if no capacity is reserved for the system or the system is not needed for individual periods. The resulting costs are billed from the electricity consumption of customers connected to the main grid.

The costs of the peak load capacity period from 1 November 2022 to 30 October 2023 will be invoiced in arrears on one invoice. The costs will be allocated to electricity consumption between 7 am and 9 pm on winter weekdays. The invoice will specify the energy volumes in each winter month (December, January and February).

The costs to main grid customers for the entire invoicing period were MEUR 0,072. The billable electricity consumption is the same as the energy volume used for the consumption fee in the daytime hours on a winter weekday under the main grid agreement. The total energy volume is 9,095,536 MWh. The imputed unit price is EUR 0.008/MWh.
