REPORT
 
OF
 
THE
 
BOARD
 
OF
 
DIRECTORS
1.1
Financial
 
result
 
and
 
financing
Fingrid’s
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
have
 
been
 
drawn
 
up
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
International
 
Financial
Reporting
 
Standards
 
(IFRS).
 
Unless
 
otherwise
 
indicated,
 
the
 
figures
 
in
 
parentheses
 
refer
 
to
 
the
 
same
 
period
 
of
 
the
previous
 
year.
 
Fingrid’s
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
have
 
been
 
drawn
 
up
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
same
accounting
 
principles
 
as
 
in
 
2022.
Since
 
2022,
 
the
 
price
 
of
 
electricity
 
has
 
fallen
 
from
 
its
 
peak
 
thanks
 
to
 
a
 
mild
 
winter
 
and
 
the
 
normal
 
operation
 
of
 
the
electricity
 
market.
 
Although
 
the
 
average
 
price
 
of
 
electricity
 
has
 
fallen,
 
the
 
variation
 
in
 
the
 
electricity
 
price
 
has
 
been
large,
 
resulting
 
from
 
the
 
fluctuation
 
in
 
weather
 
-dependent
 
production
 
and
 
the
 
availability
 
of
 
production
 
plants
 
and
transmission
 
connections.
 
As
 
the
 
relative
 
share
 
of
 
renewable
 
energy
 
production
 
increases,
 
electricity
 
price
 
variations
are
 
here
 
to
 
stay.
The
 
Group
 
turnover
 
fell
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
lower
 
electricity
 
price.
 
Imbalance
 
power
 
sales
 
and
 
procurement
 
costs
 
decreased
significantly.
 
Balancing
 
the
 
power
 
system
 
results
 
in
 
fluctuations
 
in
 
turnover,
 
which
 
stems
 
from
 
the
 
increasing
weather
 
-dependency
 
of
 
electricity
 
production,
 
and
 
the
 
electricity
 
production
 
and
 
consumption
 
forecast
 
uncertainty.
Income
 
from
 
grid
 
service
 
fees
 
decreased
 
to
 
EUR
 
164.5
 
(333.7)
 
million,
 
due
 
largely
 
to
 
Fingrid
 
waiving
 
the
 
grid
 
service
fees
 
for
 
six
 
months.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
electricity
 
consumption
 
on
 
which
 
grid
 
service
 
revenue
 
is
 
based
 
fell
 
in
 
Finland
 
to
79.8
 
(81.6)
 
terawatt
 
hours
 
in
 
2023.
 
Fingrid’s
 
congestion
 
income
 
generated
 
through
 
cross
 
-border
 
transmission
connections
 
was
 
significantly
 
lower
 
than
 
last
 
year’s
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
lower
 
electricity
 
area
 
price
 
differences
 
between
Finland
 
and
 
Estonia
 
and
 
Finland
 
and
 
Sweden.
 
Fingrid’s
 
congestion
 
income
 
amounted
 
to
 
EUR
 
260.1
 
(942.9)
 
million,
 
of
which
 
Fingrid’s
 
share
 
was
 
EUR
 
220.9
 
(942.9)
 
million.
 
Fingrid’s
 
income
 
on
 
the
 
Financial
 
Transmission
 
Rights
 
(FTR)
issued
 
on
 
the
 
Finland–Estonian
 
border
 
amounted
 
to
 
EUR
 
57.0
 
(0.0)
 
million,
 
and
 
the
 
congestion
 
income
 
credited
 
to
the
 
holders
 
of
 
corresponding
 
transmission
 
rights
 
was
 
EUR
 
96.2
 
(0.0)
 
million.
 
A
 
total
 
of
 
EUR
 
284.7
 
(229.5)
 
million
 
in
congestion
 
income
 
was
 
recognised
 
in
 
turnover
 
to
 
cover
 
the
 
waiving
 
of
 
grid
 
service
 
fees
 
and
 
operating
 
expenses,
 
and
EUR
 
118.0
 
(18.8)
 
million
 
in
 
other
 
operating
 
income
 
to
 
cover
 
FTRs
 
and
 
cross
 
-border
 
capacity
 
costs.
The
 
Group’s
 
costs,
 
excluding
 
the
 
change
 
in
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
commodity
 
derivatives,
 
amounted
 
to
 
EUR
 
1,126.8
 
(1,695.8)
million.
 
Due
 
to
 
the
 
lower
 
price
 
of
 
balancing
 
power,
 
the
 
costs
 
of
 
purchased
 
imbalance
 
power
 
fell
 
to
 
EUR
 
491.1
(1,141.2)
 
million.
 
Due
 
to
 
a
 
lower
 
electricity
 
price
 
and
 
lower
 
area
 
price
 
differences
 
for
 
electricity,
 
the
 
congestion
 
costs
resulting
 
from
 
the
 
surplus
 
in
 
the
 
national
 
electricity
 
balance
 
amounted
 
to
 
EUR
 
15.5
 
(69.4)
 
million.
 
Loss
 
power
 
costs
came
 
to
 
EUR
 
75.2
 
(103.9)
 
million,
 
which
 
resulted
 
from
 
the
 
lower
 
average
 
loss
 
power
 
procurement
 
price
 
of
 
EUR
 
45.09
(60.32)
 
per
 
megawatt
 
hour.
 
The
 
amount
 
of
 
loss
 
power
 
procured
 
was
 
1.7
 
(1.7)
 
terawatt
 
hours.
 
The
 
cost
 
of
 
reserves
 
to
safeguard
 
the
 
grid’s
 
system
 
security
 
and
 
power
 
balance
 
were
 
on
 
par
 
with
 
the
 
previous
 
year
 
and
 
amounted
 
to
 
EUR
185.6
 
(186.9)
 
million,
 
despite
 
the
 
higher
 
procurement
 
volume.
 
Due
 
to
 
the
 
progress
 
made
 
in
 
the
 
company’s
 
extensive
investment
 
programme,
 
depreciation
 
grew
 
to
 
EUR
 
123.3
 
(107.9)
 
million.
 
Grid
 
maintenance
 
costs
 
grew
 
to
 
EUR
 
22.5
(19.6)
 
million.
 
Personnel
 
costs
 
grew
 
to
 
EUR
 
42.8
 
(38.1)
 
million,
 
which
 
mainly
 
correlates
 
with
 
the
 
increase
 
in
 
the
number
 
of
 
personnel
 
required
 
for
 
the
 
expansion
 
of
 
the
 
operations
 
and
 
the
 
increasing
 
complexity
 
of
 
the
 
power
system.
The
 
Group’s
 
operating
 
profit
 
excluding
 
the
 
change
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
derivatives
 
was
 
EUR
 
186.1
 
(149.8)
 
million.
 
The
Group’s
 
profit
 
before
 
taxes
 
was
 
EUR
 
1.3
 
(257.4)
 
million.
 
The
 
result
 
was
 
improved
 
by
 
the
 
growth
 
in
 
the
 
company’s
allowed
 
regulatory
 
profit
 
and
 
the
 
decrease
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
 
net
 
financial
 
costs.
 
The
 
result
 
was
 
weakened
 
by
 
a
 
negative
change
 
of
 
EUR
 
-185.1
 
(140.6)
 
million
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
electricity
 
derivatives
 
and
 
currency
 
derivatives
 
linked
 
to
capital
 
expenditure
 
and
 
other
 
operating
 
costs.
 
The
 
market
 
value
 
of
 
electricity
 
derivatives
 
fell
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of

at
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
financial

was
 
20.1
 
(22.4)

The

currently
 
has
 
a

4
 
billion
 
investment

for
 
the
 
next
 
ten
 
years.
 
In
 
2023,
 
the
company’s
 
total
 
investments
 
grew
 
to
 
EUR
 
322.0

due
 
to
 
increasing
 
capital
 
expenditure
 
to
 
enable
 
the
green
 
transition
 
and
 
growing
 
electricity
 
consumption.
 
This
 
included

303.8
 
(246.0)

invested
 
in

rose
 
in

Strategic
 
focal
 
points
 
of
 
development
Fingrid’s
 
strategy
 
defines
 
the
 
four
 
focal
 
points
 
of
 
development
 
that
 
the
 
company
 
focuses
 
on
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
be
 
able
 
to
react
 
quickly
 
to
 
the
 
challenges
 
and
 
megatrends
 
arising
 
from
 
the
 
operating
 
environment.
 
The
 
development
 
focal
points
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
improve
 
the
 
company’s
 
operations
 
and
 
to
 
adopt
 
operating
 
models
 
at
 
the
 
company
 
level,
 
across
business
 
and
 
perspective
 
lines.
 
Customers
 
enabling
 
the
 
transformation
To
 
meet
 
Finland’s
 
climate
 
and
 
competitiveness
 
goals,
 
Fingrid
 
must
 
enable
 
the
 
rapid
 
growth
 
of
 
the
 
power
 
system
 
and
be
 
able
 
to
 
connect
 
a
 
large
 
volume
 
of
 
electricity
 
consumption
 
and
 
production
 
to
 
the
 
main
 
grid,
 
without
 
sacrificing
security
 
and
 
quality.
 
Mainta
 
ining
 
high
 
system
 
security
 
cost
 
-effectively
 
requires
 
the
 
availability
 
of
 
all
 
the
 
technical
opportunities
 
and
 
flexibilities
 
of
 
production
 
and
 
consumption.
 
Key
 
to
 
achieving
 
this
 
is
 
understanding
 
customers’
needs
 
and
 
technical
 
opportunities
 
and
 
the
 
appropriate
 
market
 
solutions
 
and
 
technical
 
solutions
 
selected
 
based
 
on
this.
 
Effectively
 
utilised
 
grid
Fingrid’s
 
objective
 
is
 
to
 
cost-effectively
 
increase
 
the
 
utilisation
 
rate
 
of
 
the
 
grid
 
and
 
enable
 
new
 
customers
 
to
 
be
connected
 
in
 
a
 
way
 
that
 
minimises
 
the
 
need
 
for
 
new
 
transmission
 
lines
 
and
 
takes
 
environmental
 
aspects
 
into
consideration.
 
This
 
can
 
be
 
achieved
 
by
 
locating
 
major
 
production
 
and
 
demand
 
facilities
 
closer
 
to
 
one
 
another
 
and
better
 
harmonising
 
their
 
capacity
 
and
 
loads.
 
The
 
utilisation
 
rate
 
can
 
also
 
be
 
increased
 
by
 
means
 
of
 
flexibility
 
both
 
in
production
 
and
 
consumption,
 
and
 
flexible
 
solutions
 
can
 
be
 
developed
 
for
 
the
 
grid.
 
Extensive
 
and
 
predictable
 
electricity
 
market
Finland
 
competes
 
internationally
 
for
 
green
 
transition
 
investments.
 
In
 
this
 
competition,
 
the
 
extent
 
of
 
the
 
markets
 
and
their
 
predictability
 
offer
 
a
 
major
 
competitive
 
advantage.
 
As
 
renewable
 
production
 
increases,
 
the
 
electricity
 
market
requires
 
flexibility
 
and
 
reserves
 
that
 
can
 
guarantee
 
the
 
security
 
of
 
electricity
 
supply.
 
Fingrid
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
maintaining
 
and
 
developing
 
the
 
reserve
 
markets
 
and
 
increasing
 
their
 
liquidity.
 
The
 
company's
 
aim
 
is
 
to
 
promote
 
an
electricity
 
market
 
that
 
functions
 
as
 
an
 
effective
 
whole.
 
This
 
requires
 
fair
 
and
 
easy
 
access
 
to
 
the
 
markets
 
and
transparent
 
operations
 
and
 
predictability
 
from
 
the
 
markets.

Going
 
forward,
 
Fingrid
 
will
 
continue
 
to

Implementation
 
of
 
the
 
strategy
Fingrid’s
 
strategy
 
is
 
implemented
 
through
 
four
 
perspectives:
 
Customers
 
&
 
Society,
 
Finance,
 
Internal
 
Processes,
 
and
Personnel
 
&
 
Expertise.
 
According
 
to
 
the
 
approach
 
chosen
 
by
 
Fingrid
 
for
 
implementing
 
its
 
strategy,
 
all
 
four
perspectives
 
are
 
implemented
 
and
 
developed
 
in
 
a
 
mutually
 
balanced
 
way.
 
For
Customers
 
and
 
Society
 
Fingrid
 
is
 
the
 
TSO
 
that
 
provides
 
the
 
best
 
service
 
and
 
offers
 
its
 
customers
 
connections
 
and
electricity
 
transmission
 
to
 
meet
 
their
 
needs,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
pro
 
-market
 
solutions.
 
Fingrid’s
 
operations
 
and
 
the
 
resulting
effective
 
electricity
 
system
 
are
 
seen
 
as
 
a
 
key
 
competitive
 
edge
 
for
 
Finland.
 
From
 
the
Finance
 
perspective,
 
the
 
company’s
 
objective
 
is

with
 
best
 
management
 
practices
 
and
good
 
governance
 
and
 
to
 
ensure
 
the
 
productivity
 
and

of
 
the
 
operations
 
when
 
implementing
 
the
strategy.
 
Fingrid
 
secures
 
shareholder
 
value
 
and

Key
 
capital
 
and
 
risks
 
are
 
managed
 
effectively.
The
 
perspective
 
of
Internal
 
Processes
 
consists
 
of
 
the
 
company’s
 
three
 
operational
 
processes:

operates
 
safely
 
and
 
efficiently.
 
Quality
 
and
 
capacity
 
are
 
at
 
the
 
correct
 
level.

Fluctuations
 
especially
 
in
 
the
 
procurement
 
costs
 
of
 
the
 
power
system
 
reserves
 
have
 
steered
 
Fingrid
 
to
 
review
 
balance
 
service
 
fees
 
three
 
times
 
during
 
the
 
reporting
 
year
 
to
 
ensure
the
 
fees
 
correspond
 
with
 
the
 
cost
 
development
 
of
 
the
 
operations.
 
Fingrid
 
announced
 
that
 
it
 
will
 
update
 
the
 
grid

fees
 
to
 
match
 
the
 
rise
 
in

construction
 
costs
 
in

the
 
principles
 
for
the
 
grid

fees
 
as
 
of
 
1
 
January
 
2024.
 
Due
 
to
 
exceptionally
 
large
 
area
 
price
 
differences
 
in
 
2022,
 
Fingrid
accumulated
 
a
 
significant
 
amount
 
of
 
congestion
 
income.
 
During
 
2023,
 
Fingrid
 
waived
 
grid
 
service
 
fees
 
for
 
six
months.
 
This
 
reduced
 
grid
 
customers’
 
fees
 
by
 
altogether
 
some
 
EUR
 
220
 
million.
 
Fingrid
 
used
 
congestion
 
income
 
also
for
 
cross
 
-border
 
investment
 
projects
 
and
 
they
 
covered
 
costs
 
resulting
 
from
 
electricity
 
cross
 
-border
 
transmission
 
and
the
 
development
 
of
 
cross

Fingrid
 
gauges
 
the
 
satisfaction
 
of
 
its
 
customers
 
with
 
its
 
services
 
and
 
operations
 
with
 
annual
 
surveys.
 
In
 
the
 
autumn
2023
 
survey,
 
Fingrid’s
 
net
 
promoter
 
score
 
from
 
customers
 
was

trust
 
that
 
Fingrid
 
works
 
for
 
the
good
 
of

Fingrid
 
develops
 
and
 
operates
 
the

to
 
meet
 
customers’
 
and
 
society’s
 
needs.
 
The

The
 
electrification
 
of

is
 
the
 
next
 
step
 
towards
 
carbon
 
neutrality.
 
Electricity
 
consumption
 
is
 
forecast
 
to
 
grow
significantly,
 
which
 
is
 
why

development
 
plan
 
for
 
2024–2033
 
during
 
the

The
 
main
 
grid
 
investment
 
programme
 
is
 
the
 
current
 
best
 
estimate
 
of
 
future
 
investments
 
and
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
future
transmission
 
forecasts
 
and
 
customer
 
needs
 
to
 
upgrade
 
the
 
grid.
 
The
 
estimated
 
grid
 
investments
 
included
 
in
 
the
development
 
plan
 
amount
 
to
 
roughly
 
four
 
billion
 
euros.
 
The
 
development
 
plan
 
includes
 
6,100
 
kilometres
 
of
 
new
transmission
 
lines
 
and
 
128
 
substation
 
projects,
 
and
 
different
 
alternatives
 
for
 
their
 
implementation
 
are
 
being
 
looked
into,
 
taking
 
into
 
account
 
nature
 
and
 
the
 
environment.
 
In
 
2023,
 
Fingrid
 
carried
 
out
 
and
 
planned
 
several
 
grid
 
building
 
projects
 
that
 
strengthen
 
electricity
 
transmission
capacity
 
and
 
reliability.
 
The
 
projects
 
include
 
both
 
the
 
construction
 
of
 
transmission
 
lines
 
and
 
the
 
substation
construction
 
and
 
modernisation
 
projects.
 
During
 
the
 
year
 
under
 
review,
 
the
 
grid
 
investments
 
totalled
 
roughly
 
EUR
310
 
million,
 
and
 
15
 
substation
 
projects
 
and
 
roughly
 
60
 
kilometres
 
of
 
transmission
 
lines
 
were
 
completed.
 
A
 
total
 
of
555
 
kilometres
 
of
 
transmission
 
lines
 
were
 
under
 
general
 
planning,
 
and
 
six
 
projects
 
were
 
in
 
the
 
environmental
 
impact
assessment
 
phase.
 
During
 
the
 
period
 
under
 
review,
 
investment
 
decisions
 
were
 
made
 
to
 
build
 
254
 
kilometres
 
of
transmission
 
line.
The
 
construction
 
of
 
the
 
most
 
important
 
main
 
grid
 
investment
 
of
 
the
 
decade,
 
the
 
400-kilovolt
 
Aurora
 
Line
 
cross-
border
 
connection,
 
which
 
will
 
strengthen
 
electricity
 
transmission
 
capacity
 
between
 
Finland
 
and
 
Sweden,
 
moved
forward
 
as
 
planned
 
and
 
in
 
October,
 
the
 
government
 
issued
 
the
 
expropriation
 
permit
 
for
 
the
 
construction
 
of
 
the
project’s
 
second
 
phase.
 
Some
 
of
 
the
 
more
 
significant
 
transmission
 
line
 
projects
 
in
 
Finland
 
during
 
the
 
reporting
 
year
were
 
the
 
upgrading
 
of
 
the
 
400-kilovolt
 
Lake
 
Line
 
transmission
 
line
 
in
 
the
 
area
 
between
 
Kajaani,
 
Iisalmi
 
and
Lapinlahti,
 
increasing
 
the
 
north–south
 
electricity
 
transmission
 
capacity,
 
and
 
the
 
400-kilovolt
 
underground
 
cable
connection
 
being
 
built
 
in
 
Helsinki,
 
to
 
increase
 
transmission
 
capacity
 
to
 
match
 
the
 
growth
 
in
 
the
 
capital
 
region’s
electricity
 
consumption.
 
Finland’s
 
main
 
grid
 
comprises
 
some
 
14,500
 
kilometres
 
of
 
transmission
 
lines
 
and
 
128
 
substations.
 
The
 
main
 
grid
represents
 
a
 
totality
 
of
 
assets
 
amounting
 
to
 
several
 
billion
 
euros,
 
which
 
is
 
why,
 
besides
 
building
 
a
 
new
 
network,
high-quality
 
maintenance
 
management
 
and
 
correctly
 
timed
 
replacement
 
investments
 
are
 
also
 
important
components
 
of
 
the
 
main
 
grid’s
 
life
 
-cycle
 
management.
Fingrid’s
 
asset
 
management
 
has
 
been
 
certified
 
since
 
2016
 
according
 
to
 
the
 
international
 
ISO

has
 
a
 
long
 
tradition
 
of
 
measuring
 
operational
 
efficiency
 
and
 
quality,
 
and
 
participation
 
in
international
 
benchmark
 
studies.

The
 
mild
 
weather
 
and
 
Finns’
 
economical
 
use
 
of
 
electricity
 
reduced
 
electricity
 
consumption
 
in
 
early
 
2023,
 
but
 
towards
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
year,
 
electricity
 
consumption
 
returned
 
to
 
its
 
normal
 
level.
 
Electricity

in
 
Finland
amounted
 
to
 
79.8
 
(81.6)

Fingrid
 
transmitted
 
a

of
 
the
 
total

The

Electricity
 
market
In
 
the
 
electricity
 
market,
 
the
 
price
 
of
 
electricity
 
fell
 
as
 
a
 
whole.
 
This
 
was
 
the
 
result
 
of,
 
among
 
other
 
things,
 
a
 
mild
winter,
 
the
 
good
 
hydrological
 
situation
 
that
 
continued
 
throughout
 
the
 
year
 
and
 
the
 
regular
 
electricity
 
production
that
 
took
 
off
 
at
 
Olkiluoto
 
3
 
in
 
April.
 
A
 
new
 
topic
 
of
 
discussion
 
on
 
the
 
electricity
 
market
 
was
 
the
 
large
 
fluctuations
 
in
the
 
electricity
 
price.
 
Behind
 
the
 
price
 
fluctuations
 
can
 
be
 
found
 
the
 
disappearance
 
of
 
balancing
 
power
 
as
 
the
 
energy
system
 
becomes
 
cleaner,
 
the
 
increase
 
in
 
weather
 
-dependent
 
electricity
 
production,
 
the
 
impacts
 
of
 
the
 
expansion
 
of
the
 
electricity
 
market
 
on
 
the
 
electricity
 
price
 
formation,
 
and
 
Finland’s
 
location
 
between
 
two
 
different
 
price
 
areas.
 
Due
 
to
 
the
 
concerns
 
related
 
to
 
prices
 
and
 
transmission
 
reliability
 
on
 
the
 
EU’s
 
energy
 
markets
 
during
 
the
 
crisis
 
winter
of
 
2022–2023,
 
the
 
EU
 
launched
 
work
 
on
 
reforming
 
the
 
electricity
 
market
 
structures.
 
Early
 
in
 
2023,
 
the
 
European
Commission
 
arranged
 
a
 
public
 
hearing
 
on
 
the
 
reform
 
of
 
the
 
electricity
 
market,
 
to
 
which
 
the
 
European
 
transmission
system
 
operators
 
issued
 
a
 
joint
 
response.
 
In
 
addition
 
to
 
this,
 
the
 
Nordic
 
TSOs
 
published
 
a
 
joint
 
statement
 
which
highlighted
 
a
 
commitment
 
to
 
safeguarding
 
the
 
central
 
features
 
of
 
the
 
current
 
electricity
 
market
 
design,
 
such
 
as
marginal
 
pricing.
 
During
 
the
 
spring
 
of
 
2023,
 
the
 
Commission
 
published
 
proposals
 
in
 
which
 
no
 
significant
 
changes
were
 
proposed
 
to
 
the
 
market
 
model.
 
Political
 
consensus
 
was
 
reached
 
on
 
the
 
matter
 
in
 
December.
During
 
the
 
year
 
under
 
review,
 
the
 
usability
 
and
 
reliability
 
of
 
transmission
 
connections
 
between
 
Finland
 
and
 
Sweden
and
 
Finland
 
and
 
Estonia
 
were
 
good.

have
 
levelled

compared
 
to
 
the

of
 
the
 
previous
 
year,
 
and
 
congestion
 
income
 
along
 
Finland’s
 
cross
 
-border
connections
 
has
 
decreased.
 
The
 
price
 
difference
 
between
 
Finland
 
and
 
Estonia
 
started
 
to
 
increase
 
in
 
May
 
–June
 
due
to,
 
among
 
other
 
things,
 
maintenance
 
work
 
on

Several
 
significant
 
modernisations
 
are
 
currently
 
being
implemented
 
on
 
the

In
 
order
 
to
 
ensure
 
efficient
 
grid
 
operation
 
and
 
system
 
security,
 
the
 
Nordic
 
TSOs
 
are
 
preparing
 
to
 
adopt
 
a
 
new
 
flow-
based
 
transmission
 
capacity
 
calculation
 
method.
 
The
 
goal
 
is
 
to
 
adopt
 
the
 
new
 
calculation
 
method
 
in
 
the
 
final
 
quarter
of
 
2024.
 
The
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
electricity
 
system
 
will
 
increase
 
the
 
need
 
for
 
reserves
 
in
 
balancing
 
the
 
power
 
system.
The
automated
 
Nordic
 
mFRR
 
energy
 
markets
 
will
 
be
 
adopted
 
in
 
December
 
2024.
 
The
 
reserve
 
markets
 
are
 
also
 
expanding
into
 
Europe.
 
Fingrid
 
is
 
preparing
 
to
 
connect
 
to
 
PICASSO,
 
the
 
European
 
market
 
platform
 
for
 
the
 
automatic
 
Frequency
Restoration
 
Reserve
 
(aFRR),
 
in
 
summer
 
2024.
 
Simultaneously,
 
an
 
European
 
aFRR
 
energy
 
market
 
will
 
be
 
established
 
in
Finland.
 
Also
 
under

Personnel
Changes
 
in
 
the
 
operating
 
environment
 
have
 
significantly
 
affected
 
the
 
number,
 
tasks
 
and
 
skill
 
requirements
 
of
Fingrid’s
 
personnel.
 
The
 
drivers
 
behind
 
these
 
changes
 
are
 
the
 
energy
 
transformation
 
and
 
the
 
unprecedented
 
grid
construction
 
programme
 
in
 
support
 
of
 
it,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
requirements
 
for
 
the
 
development
 
of
 
the
 
electricity
 
market.
The
 
transforming
 
power
 
system
 
calls
 
not
 
only
 
for
 
more
 
personnel,
 
but
 
also
 
for
 
new
 
operating
 
models
 
and
partnerships
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
entirely
 
new
 
competence.
 
The
 
number
 
of
 
personnel
 
has
 
grown
 
significantly
 
in
 
recent
 
years.
 
Fingrid
 
Oyj
 
employed
 
544
 
(489)
 
persons,
 
including
temporary
 
employees,
 
at
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
year.
 
The
 
number
 
of
 
permanent
 
personnel
 
was
 
493
 
(439)
 
and
 
the

were
 
women
 
and

commissions
 
personnel
 
surveys
 
each
 
year
 
to
 
support
 
the
 
well

of
 
personnel.
 
A
 
comprehensive
PeoplePower
 
survey
 
was
 
carried
 
out
 
in
 
2023.
 
According
 
to
 
the
 
results,
 
Fingrid’s
 
strengths
 
include
 
atmosphere
 
at
work,
 
leadership
 
and
 
business
 
culture,
 
trust
 
in
 
the
 
employer
 
and
 
commitment.
 
Fingrid
 
maintained
 
its
 
excellent
 
AAA
PeoplePower
 
rating,
 
with
 
an
 
index
 
of
 
83.9
 
on
 
a
 
scale
 
from
 
1
 
to
 
100.
 
Only
 
around
 
six
 
per
 
cent
 
of
 
all
 
the
 
surveyed
organisations
 
annually
 
achieve
 
the
 
AAA
 
rating.
 
The
 
company’s
 
employees
 
gave
 
Fingrid
 
a
 
net

score
 
(eNPS)
of
 
75.
 
Based
 
on
 
the
 
PeoplePower
 
survey
 
results,
 
Fingrid
 
was
 
awarded
 
with
 
the
 
Finland’s
 
Most
 
Inspiring
 
Workplaces
recognition
 
in
 
the
 
mid-sized
 
companies
 
category
 
in
 
2023.
 
The
 
recognition
 
is
 
awarded
 
annually
 
to
 
workplaces
 
whose
employee
 
engagement
 
results
 
are
 
ranked
 
at
 
the
 
national
 
top.
 
Fingrid
 
responds
 
to
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
operating
 
environment
 
by
 
continuously
 
developing
 
its
 
operations
 
according
 
to
needs.
 
From
 
the
 
personnel,
 
this
 
requires
 
the
 
ability
 
to
 
adapt,
 
initiative
 
and
 
the
 
drive
 
to
 
learn
 
new
 
things.
 
Fingrid
offers
 
its
 
employees
 
opportunities
 
to
 
develop
 
and
 
grow
 
their
 
competence.
 
The
 
aim
 
is
 
to
 
secure
 
competence
 
by
offering
 
personnel
 
training
 
both
 
in-house
 
and
 
by
 
outsourced
 
providers,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
through
 
job
 
rotation
 
and
 
switching
up
 
duties
 
within
 
teams.
 
Fingrid
 
invests
 
a
 
significant
 
sum
 
annually
 
to
 
develop
 
both
 
the
 
work
 
community
 
and
 
the
personal
 
development
 
of
 
each
 
employee.
 
In
 
2023,
 
each
 
Fingrid
 
employee
 
received
 
an
 
average
 
of
 
5
 
(5)
 
days
 
of
training,
 
and
 
the
 
training
 
costs
 
totalled

Occupational
 
health
 
and
 
safety
 
come
 
first
 
in
 
all
 
of
 
Fingrid’s
 
activities.
 
The
 
company’s
 
goal
 
is
 
zero
 
accidents
 
and
 
zero
serious
 
occupational

significant
environmental
 
aspects
 
are
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
impacts
 
on
 
natural
 
habitats,
 
landscape
 
changes
 
and
 
land
 
use
 
restrictions
due
 
to
 
transmission
 
lines,
 
the
 
climate
 
impact
 
of
 
power
 
losses
 
during
 
electricity
 
transmission,
 
possible
 
contingencies
at
 
substations
 
and
 
reserve
 
power
 
plants,
 
and
 
the
 
consumption
 
of
 
natural
 
resources
 
and
 
the
 
climate
 
impact
 
during
grid
 
construction
 
and
 
maintenance.
From
 
a
 
climate
 
risk
 
viewpoint,
 
Fingrid
 
prepares
 
for
 
the
 
physical
 
risks
 
of
 
extreme
 
weather
 
phenomena,
 
which
 
are
becoming
 
more
 
common
 
and
 
more
 
powerful,
 
in
 
grid
 
construction
 
and
 
operations.
 
Due
 
to
 
the
 
critical
 
security
 
of
supply
 
aspect
 
of
 
the
 
operations,
 
Fingrid
 
has
 
used
 
this
 
approach
 
for
 
a
 
long
 
time
 
already.
 
Fingrid
 
also
 
prepares
 
for
 
the
changes
 
linked
 
with
 
the
 
transition
 
to
 
a
 
clean
 
power
 
system,
 
in
 
other
 
words
 
transition
 
risks,
 
which
 
can
 
affect
 
the
operational
 
policies
 
and
 
legislation,
 
technologies,
 
markets
 
and
 
the
 
company’s
 
reputation.
 
Managing
 
the
 
power
system
 
becomes
 
complex
 
as
 
weather
 
-dependent
 
production
 
increases
 
and
 
variations
 
in
 
electricity
 
consumption
 
and
production
 
intensify.
 
This
 
development
 
is
 
also
 
reflected
 
in
 
the
 
costs
 
of
 
maintaining
 
the
 
power
 
system,
 
resulting
 
in
 
an
increase
 
in
 
costs
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
cost
 
-related
 
uncertainty.
 
Fingrid
 
aims
 
to
 
build
 
up
 
the
 
main
 
grid
 
and
 
to
 
find
other
 
ways
 
of
 
making
 
the
 
necessary
 
transmission
 
capacity
 
available
 
to
 
meet
 
Finland’s
 
climate
 
targets
 
quickly
 
enough.
This
 
means
 
proactive
 
environmental
 
impact
 
assessments,
 
successful
 
stakeholder
 
engagement,
 
fast
 
project
 
permit
processes
 
and
 
effective
 
project
 
management.
 
In
 
addition
 
to
 
building
 
the
 
main
 
grid,
 
Fingrid
 
seeks
 
to
 
find
 
and
implement
 
together
 
with
 
customers
 
solutions
 
that
 
make
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
the
 
main
 
grid
 
more
 
efficient
 
and
 
can
 
increase
 
the
number
 
of
 
connections
 
without
 
expanding
 
the
 
grid.
 
In
 
particular
 
the
 
aim
 
is
 
to
 
manage
 
the
 
transition
 
risk
 
arising
 
from
the
 
changes
 
in
 
grid
 
operations,
 
in
 
the
 
implementation
 
of
 
system
 
responsibility
 
and
 
in
 
the
 
cost
 
structure
 
resulting
from
 
the
 
clean
 
power
 
system.
 
In
 
2023,
 
Fingrid’s
 
direct
 
greenhouse
 
gas
 
emissions
 
and
 
the
 
indirect
 
emissions
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
company’s
 
own
 
electricity
consumption
 
and
 
transmission
 
losses
 
(Scope
 
1
 
and
 
2)
 
amounted
 
to
 
roughly
 
65,000
 
CO
2
 
equivalent
 
tonnes.
 
Fingrid’s
greenhouse
 
gas
 
emissions
 
totalled
 
roughly
 
195,000
 
CO
2
 
equivalent
 
tonnes
 
when
 
including
 
also
 
the
 
indirect
 
emissions
from
 
procurement
 
and
 
supply
 
chains
 
(Scope
 
1,
 
2
 
and
 
3).
 
In
 
2023,
 
a
 
total
 
of
 
1,510
 
megawatts
 
of
 
wind
 
power
 
and
 
410
megawatts
 
of
 
solar
 
power
 
was
 
connected
 
to
 
Fingrid’s
 
main
 
grid,
 
which
 
will
 
help
 
to
 
indirectly
 
avoid
 
annual
 
emissions
worth
 
around
 
189,000
 
CO
2
 
equivalent
 
tonnes
 
in
 
the
 
coming
 
years.
 
During
 
the
 
year,
 
Fingrid
 
additionally
 
concluded
new
 
agreements
 
on
 
connecting
 
a
 
total
 
of
 
roughly
 
1,240
 
megawatts
 
of
 
wind
 
power
 
and
 
220
 
megawatts
 
of
 
solar
power
 
production
 
to
 
the
 
electricity
 
network.
 
Once
 
realised,
 
this
 
will
 
lead
 
to
 
a
 
substantial
 
positive
 
climate
 
impact,
indirectly
 
avoiding
 
annual
 
emissions
 
worth
 
around
 
152,000
 
CO
2
 
equivalent
 
tonnes.

when
 
building

is
 
verified
 
by
 
an

party.
 
In
 
2023,
 
Fingrid
 
started
 
to
 
prepare
 
for
 
the
 
disclosures
 
required
 
by
the
 
Corporate
 
Sustainability
 
Reporting
 
Directive
 
(CSRD)
 
and
 
for
 
a
 
unified
 
reporting
 
format
 
also
 
in
 
compliance
 
the
International
 
Financial
 
Reporting
 
Standards
 
(IFRS).
 
The
 
preparations
 
for
 
disclosure
 
in
 
alignment
 
with
 
the
 
EU
Taxonomy
 
Regulation
 
were
 
also
 
continued.
 
The
 
taxonomy
 
is
 
designed
 
to
 
support
 
sustainable
 
finance
 
by
 
channelling
money
 
into
 
projects
 
that
 
are
 
sustainable
 
in
 
terms
 
of
 
climate
 
change
 
and
 
the
 
environment.
 
The
 
reporting
 
obligation
under
 
this
 
regulation
 
is
 
not,
 
for
 
the
 
time
 
being,
 
obligatory
 
for
 
Fingrid,
 
but
 
the
 
company
 
reports
 
in
 
compliance
 
with
the
 
regulation
 
on
 
a
 
voluntary
 
basis.
 
Electricity
 
transmission
 
is
 
classified
 
as
 
a

sustainable
 
economic
activity,
 
which
 
has
 
technical
 
assessment
 
criteria
 
in
 
place
 
for
 
assessing
 
taxonomy

In
 
terms
 
of
 
climate
change
 
mitigation,
 
the
 
transmission
 
of
 
electricity
 
has
 
been
 
defined
 
as
 
an
 
enabling
 
activity
 
with
 
which
 
other
 
sectors’
greenhouse
 
gas
 
emissions
 
can
 
be
 
significantly
 
reduced.
 
In
 
terms
 
of
 
adapting
 
to
 
climate
 
change,
 
the
 
criteria
 
concern
the
 
electricity
 
transmission’s
 
preparedness
 
for
 
the
 
risks
 
related
 
to
 
physical
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
climate
 
system.
 
In
 
the
 
year
under
 
review,
 
preliminary
 
calculations
 
were
 
made
 
on
 
the
 
portions
 
of
 
Fingrid’s
 
operations
 
that
 
are
 
taxonomy
 
-eligible
and
 
meet
 
the
 
assessment
 
criteria
 
related
 
to
 
climate

mitigation.
 
Measures
 
were
 
additionally
 
taken
 
to
 
ensure
that
 
the
 
company
 
meets
 
the
 
minimum
 
safeguards
 
of
 
social
 
responsibility
 
in
 
its
 
operations
 
and
 
has
 
in
 
place

to
 
oversee
 
their
 
compliance.
 
This
 
applies
 
both
 
to
 
the

Internal
 
audit
The
 
Board
 
of
 
Directors
 
decides
 
on
 
the
 
operating
 
model
 
for
 
the
 
company’s
 
internal
 
audit.
 
The
 
internal
 
audit
 
acts
 
on
the
 
basis
 
of
 
plans
 
processed
 
by
 
the
 
audit
 
committee
 
and
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Board.
 
Audit
 
results

of
 
inspection,
 
the
 
President
 
&
 
CEO,
 
the
 
audit
 
committee
 
and
 
the

Upon
 
decision
 
of
 
the
 
Board,
 
an
internal
 
audit
 
outsourced
 
to
 
an
 
authorised
 
public
 
accounting
 
company
 
acts
 
within
 
the
 
company.
 
From
 
an
administrative
 
perspective,
 
the
 
internal
 
audit
 
is
 
subordinate
 
to
 
the
 
President
 
&
 
CEO.
 
The
 
internal
 
audit
 
provides
 
a
systematic
 
approach
 
to
 
the
 
assessment
 
and
 
development
 
of
 
the
 
efficacy
 
of
 
the
 
company’s
 
risk
 
management,
monitoring,

processes,
 
and
 
ensures
 
their
 
sufficiency
 
and

has
 
the
 
authority
 
to
 
carry
 
out

and
 
to

that
 
is

Fingrid’s

out
 
risk-based
 
auditing
 
on
 
the
 
company’s
 
various
 
processes.
 
1.5.2
Foremost
 
risks
Since
 
Fingrid
 
plays
 
a
 
significant
 
role
 
in
 
Finnish
 
society,
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
risks
 
is
 
assessed
 
from
 
both
 
the
 
company’s
 
and
society’s
 
perspective.
 
Strategic
 
risks
 
are
 
considered
 
to
 
be
 
events
 
that
 
may
 
lead
 
to
 
a
 
material
 
deterioration
 
in
 
the
company’s
 
ability
 
to
 
operate
 
or
 
in
 
its
 
corporate
 
image
 
or,
 
in
 
the
 
worst
 
-case
 
scenario,
 
events
 
that
 
may
 
lead
 
to
 
the
company’s
 
operations
 
being
 
called
 
into
 
question
 
by
 
society.
The
 
most
 
significant
 
of
 
the
 
company’s
 
three
 
identified
 
strategic
 
risks
 
is
 
a
 
severe
 
disturbance
 
related
 
to
 
the
functionality
 
of
 
the
 
power
 
system,
 
leading
 
to
 
a
 
regional
 
or
 
nationwide
 
blackout.
 
Extensive
 
disturbances
 
to
 
the
 
power
system
 
can
 
be
 
caused
 
by
 
a
 
technical
 
malfunction,
 
an
 
extreme
 
weather
 
event,
 
human
 
error,
 
an
 
accident
 
or
 
vandalism.
A
 
blackout
 
can
 
paralyse
 
society’s
 
functions
 
and
 
cause
 
major
 
damage
 
to
 
Finnish
 
business
 
and
 
industry.
 
A
 
significant
 
negative
 
change
 
in
 
regulation
 
constitutes
 
a
 
material
 
strategic
 
risk
 
for
 
the
 
company’s
 
operations,
affecting
 
the
 
company’s
 
responsibilities,
 
scope
 
of
 
its
 
mission
 
and
 
financial
 
preconditions.
 
Financial
 
regulation
 
directly
impacts
 
shareholder
 
value,
 
financing
 
and
 
credit
 
ratings,
 
and
 
this
 
way
 
creates
 
the
 
framework
 
for
 
the
 
company’s
investment
 
programme
 
and
 
mitigation
 
of
 
financial
 
risk.
The
 
third
 
strategic
 
risk
 
for
 
the
 
company’s
 
operations
 
is
 
the
 
possibility
 
of
 
a
 
distortion
 
in
 
the
 
corporate
 
culture
 
under
the
 
cover
 
of
 
monopolistic
 
operations,
 
which
 
can
 
surface
 
in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
disregard
 
for
 
sustainability
 
requirements
 
or
other
 
unprofessional
 
behaviour.
In
 
addition
 
to
 
the
 
strategic
 
risks,
 
the
 
Board
 
of
 
Directors
 
regularly
 
receives
 
reports
 
on
 
business
 
risks
 
that
 
have
 
been
identified
 
as
 
material
 
and
 
which
 
are
 
related
 
to
 
financial
 
regulation,
 
the
 
electricity
 
market,
 
customer
 
activities,
 
the
investment
 
programme,
 
information
 
security,
 
personnel
 
and
 
safeguarding
 
the
 
company’s
 
assets.
 
This
 
category
additionally
 
includes
 
various
 
risks
 
linked
 
with
 
major
 
financial
 
value,
 
such
 
as
 
compliance,
 
the
 
management
 
of
electricity
 
transmission,
 
solvency
 
and
 
liquidity,
 
the
 
management
 
of
 
loss
 
power
 
and
 
reserves,
 
and
 
counterparty
 
risks.
As
 
the
 
company’s
 
operating
 
environment
 
changes,
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
the
 
operations
 
has
 
grown.
 
A
 
weather
 
-dependent,
expanding
 
electricity
 
system
 
and
 
large
 
-capacity
 
production
 
units
 
increase
 
the
 
significance
 
of
 
power
 
system
management
 
and
 
balance
 
service
 
business
 
in
 
the
 
company’s
 
operations.
 
The
 
expanding,
 
increasingly
 
complex
electricity
 
system
 
will
 
increase
 
the
 
share
 
of
 
market
 
-based
 
costs,
 
such
 
as
 
reserve,
 
loss
 
power
 
and
 
congestion
 
costs,
 
of
the
 
company’s
 
total
 
costs
 
and
 
also
 
their
 
significance
 
in
 
corporate
 
finances.
 
Predicting
 
the
 
market
 
-based
 
costs
 
will
 
be
increasingly
 
difficult
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
volatility
 
of
 
electricity
 
prices
 
and
 
transmission
 
conditions.

programme
 
will
 
increase
 
the
 
number
 
of
 
planned
 
outages
 
and
 
the
 
related
 
transmission
 
restrictions.
 
The
company
 
will
 
compensate
 
some
 
of
 
the
 
volatility
 
of
 
market
 
-based
 
costs
 
in
 
customer
 
pricing
 
by
 
recognising
 
congestion
income
 
as
 
revenue
 
also
 
in
 
2024.
 
Fingrid
 
assumes
 
a
 
significant
 
financial
 
risk
 
of
 
the
 
balance
 
responsible
 
parties
 
by
maintaining
 
the
 
national
 
power
 
balance.
 
The
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
price
 
of
 
imbalance
 
power
 
can
 
also
 
unexpectedly
increase
 
the
 
company’s
 
counterparty
 
risks,
 
which
 
the
 
company
 
mitigates
 
mainly
 
by
 
the
 
collaterals
 
required
 
from
 
the
balance
 
responsible
 
parties
 
and
 
by
 
other
 
operational
 
terms
 
specified
 
in
 
the
 
terms
 
and
 
conditions
 
of
 
the
 
balance
service.
The
 
company’s
 
operations,
 
its
 
financial
 
preconditions
 
and
 
the
 
possibilities
 
to
 
mitigate
 
risk
 
are
 
regulated
 
by
 
the
Energy
 
Authority.

on
 
25
 
May
 
2022
related
 
to
 
the
 
claims
 
by

that
 
Fingrid
 
has
 
neglected
 
its
 
obligation
 
to
 
develop
 
the
 
main
 
grid
 
as
 
stated
 
in
 
the
 
Finnish
Electricity
 
Market
 
Act
 
and/or
 
other
 
applicable

on
connecting
 
the
 
Olkiluoto

The
 
final
 
meeting
 
of
 
the

procedure
 
was
 
held
 
on

November
 
2023.
 
Fingrid
 
has
 
appealed
 
the
 
decision
 
concerning
 
the
 
Torna-

expropriation
 
to
 
the
 
Southwest

On
 
20
 
December
 
2023,
 
Fingrid
 
Datahub
 
Oy
 
filed
 
a
 
proposal
 
with
 
the
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
to
 
change
 
the
 
model
concerning
 
Fingrid
 
Datahub
 
Oy’s
 
financial
 
regulation
 
for
 
the
 
regulatory
 
period
 
2024–2027
 
and
 
simultaneously
proposed
 
that
 
the
 
regulatory
 
model
 
be
 
developed
 
further.
1.9
Events
 
after
 
the
 
review
 
period
 
and
 
future
 
outlook
Fingrid
 
Group’s
 
result
 
for
 
the
 
2024
 
financial
 
period,
 
excluding
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
derivatives
 
and
 
before
taxes,
 
is
 
expected
 
to
 
increase
 
compared
 
to
 
2023.
 
This
 
estimation
 
includes
 
the
 
recognition
 
of
 
congestion
 
income
 
in
the
 
company’s
 
turnover
 
and
 
other
 
operating
 
income.
 
The
 
implementation
 
of
 
the
 
investment
 
programme
 
is
proceeding,
 
which
 
raises
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
company’s
 
investments
 
in
 
2024.
 
Increasing
 
weather
 
dependence
 
in
 
electricity
production
 
poses
 
a
 
challenge
 
to
 
forecasting
 
electricity
 
transmission
 
and
 
increases
 
fluctuations
 
in
 
the
 
national
 
power
balance
 
and
 
its
 
maintenance.
 
The
 
availability
 
and
 
price
 
of
 
flexible
 
power
 
production
 
and
 
power
 
system
 
flexibility
 
will
influence
 
the
 
cost
 
of
 
the
 
reserves
 
necessary
 
for
 
managing
 
the
 
power
 
balance
 
and
 
safeguarding
 
system
 
security.
Fluctuations
 
in
 
the
 
electricity
 
market
 
prices
 
and
 
availability
 
of
 
system
 
flexibility
 
will
 
increase
 
uncertainty
 
in
 
the
company’s
 
market
 
-based
 
costs.
 
The
 
company’s
 
debt
 
service
 
capacity
 
is
 
expected
 
to
 
remain
 
stable.
 
On
 
21
 
September
 
2023,
 
Fingrid
 
announced
 
that
 
it
 
will
 
waive
 
grid
 
service
 
fees
 
for
 
January,
 
February
 
and
 
June
 
of
 
2024.
The
 
company
 
moreover
 
plans
 
to
 
waive
 
grid
 
service
 
fees
 
for
 
three
 
other
 
months
 
in
 
the
 
latter
 
half
 
of
 
2024.
 
A
 
separate
decision
 
on
 
that
 
will
 
be
 
made
 
by
 
summer
 
2024.
 
The
 
goal
 
is
 
also,
 
in
 
future,
 
to
 
use
 
accruing
 
congestion
 
income
 
actively
for
 
investments
 
that
 
will
 
increase
 
cross
 
-border
 
transmission
 
capacity
 
and
 
to
 
cover
 
operating
 
costs
 
to
 
benefit
 
Fingrid’s
customers.

On
 
2
 
January
 
2024,
 
Fingrid
 
appealed
 
the
 
Energy
 
Authority’s
 
decision
 
on
 
the
 
terms
 
and
 
conditions
 
of
 
balance
 
service
at
 
the
 
Market
 
Court.
 
The
 
appeal
 
mainly
 
concerns
 
the
 
collateral
 
model
 
for
 
balance
 
responsible
 
parties
 
presented
 
in
the
 
decision.
 
In
 
November
 
2023,
 
the
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
issued
 
a
 
decision
 
on
 
the
 
terms
 
and
 
conditions
 
for
 
balance
responsible
 
parties,
 
which
 
include
 
the
 
principles
 
for
 
how
 
collateral
 
requirements
 
are
 
determined.
 
The
 
Energy
Authority’s
 
decision
 
includes
 
major
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
current
 
collateral
 
terms
 
and
 
conditions
 
and
 
sets
 
apart
 
Finland’s
collateral
 
model
 
from
 
that
 
used
 
in
 
other
 
Nordic
 
countries.
 
The
 
most
 
significant
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
current
 
collateral
model
 
include
 
a
 
major
 
reduction
 
in
 
the
 
required
 
collaterals,
 
elimination
 
of
 
the
 
requirement
 
to
 
provide
 
an
 
adequate
additional
 
collateral
 
and
 
a
 
possible
 
collateral
 
ceiling.
On
 
29
 
January
 
2024,
 
Fingrid
 
appealed
 
the
 
Energy
 
Authority’s
 
decision
 
on
 
the
 
methods
 
concerning
 
the
 
specification
of
 
the
 
return
 
for
 
the
 
electricity
 
transmission
 
grid
 
operations
 
for
 
the
 
sixth
 
regulatory
 
period

and

period
 
1
 
January
 
2028–31
 
December
 
2031
 
at
 
the
 
Market
 
Court.
 
According
 
to
Fingrid’s
 
assessment,
 
the
 
decision
 
on
 
the
 
regulatory
 
methods
 
is
 
a
 
significant
 
weakening
 
of
 
the
 
electricity
transmission
 
grid
 
operations’
 
reasonable
 
return
 
regulatory
 
method
 
that
 
expired
 
at
 
year-end.
 
In
 
Fingrid’s
 
view,
 
the
assessment
 
of
 
impacts
 
in
 
preparing
 
the
 
regulatory
 
model
 
decision
 
has
 
been
 
deficient
 
and
 
there
 
are
 
still
 
issues
 
open
to
 
interpretation
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
presented
 
decision.
 
Fingrid’s
 
goal
 
is
 
a
 
solution
 
that
 
would
 
also
 
enable
 
the
 
future
development
 
of
 
the
 
main
 
electricity
 
grid,
 
allowing
 
the
 
hundreds
 
of
 
billions
 
in
 
green
 
transition
 
investments
 
in
 
Finland
to
 
be
 
implemented
 
as
 
planned.
On
 
15
 
February
 
2024,
 
Fingrid
 
appealed
 
the
 
decision
 
given
 
by
 
the
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
on
 
11
 
January
 
2024
 
on

regarding
 
the

at
 
the
 
Market
 
Court.
 
Teollisuuden
 
Voima
 
Oyj
 
(“TVO”)
 
lodged
 
a
 
request
 
for
 
an
 
investigation
 
with
the
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
on
 
25
 
May
 
2022
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
claims
 
by
 
TVO
 
that
 
Fingrid
 
has
 
neglected
 
its
 
obligation
 
to
develop
 
the
 
main
 
grid
 
as
 
stated
 
in
 
the
 
Finnish
 
Electricity
 
Market
 
Act
 
and/or
 
other
 
applicable
 
legislation,
 
and
 
that,
 
as
a
 
result,
 
it
 
has
 
placed
 
unlawful
 
restrictions
 
on
 
connecting
 
the
 
Olkiluoto
 
3
 
nuclear
 
power
 
plant
 
to
 
the
 
grid,
 
and
 
that
Fingrid
 
is
 
in
 
breach
 
of
 
its
 
administrative
 
obligations
 
linked
 
to
 
carrying
 
out
 
its
 
public
 
administrative
 
task.
 
The
 
Energy
Authority
 
states
 
in
 
its
 
decision
 
on
 
11
 
January
 
2024
 
that
 
Fingrid
 
fulfilled
 
its
 
development,
 
connection
 
and
transmission
 
obligations
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Electricity
 
Market
 
Act.
 
The
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
also
 
found
 
the
 
1,300
MW
 
power
 
limit
 
specified
 
in
 
Fingrid’s
 
connection
 
terms
 
justified
 
and
 
did
 
not
 
find
 
Fingrid
 
to
 
have
 
restricted
 
Olkiluoto
3’s
 
access
 
to
 
the
 
grid.

presented
 
a
 
claim
 
for
 
a
 
revised

and
 
filed
 
an
 
appeal
 
with
 
the
 
Market
 
Court
 
on
 
Fingrid’s
 
procurement
 
decision
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
procurement
 
of
the

license
 
for
 
an

on
 
6

2024.
 
On
 
16
 
February
 
2024,
 
Fingrid
 
revoked
 
its

decision
 
and
 
reported
 
on
 
19
 
February
 
2024
 
to
 
the
 
Market
 
Court
 
that
 
the

Following
 
the
 
revoking
 
of
 
the

decision,
 
the

will
 
decide
 
on
 
the
 
claim
 
for
legal
 
costs
 
presented
 
by
 
HiQ

Fingrid
 
considers
 
the
 
claim
 
for
 
legal
 
costs
 
to
 
be
 
excessive.

When

as
 
any

are
 
always
 
taken
 
into
account.

CONSOLIDATED
 
FINANCIAL
 
STATEMENTS
 
(IFRS)
INTRODUCTION
Useful
 
information
 
about
 
Fingrid’s
 
financial
 
statements.
Notes
 
are
 
compiled
 
under
 
specific
 
themes
 
to
 
provide
 
the
 
best
 
representation
 
of
 
Fingrid
 
Chapters
 
4-7
 
consist
 
of
 
notes
 
to
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
.
At
 
the
 
start
 
of
 
each
 
section
 
there
 
is
 
an
 
introduction
 
on
 
how
 
the
 
notes
 
were
 
prepared.
Accounting
 
principles
 
are
 
shown
 
at
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
each
 
note,
 
in
 
a
 
separate
 
box
 
and
 
recognizable
 
by
 
the
 
use
 
of
symbol
.
Interesting
 
facts
 
about
 
Fingrid’s
 
operating
 
environment
 
are
 
highlighted
 
in
 
infoboxes
 
throughout
 
the
 
notes
to
 
the
 
financial
 
statements.
 
The
 
infoboxes
 
can
 
be
 
recognized
 
by
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
symbol
.
Fingrid’s
 
business
 
model
 
and
 
the
 
regulation
 
of
 
transmission
 
system
 
operations
Fingrid
 
constitutes
 
a
 
natural
 
monopoly
 
as
 
referred
 
to
 
in
 
the
 
Finnish
 
Electricity
 
Market
 
Act
 
(588/2013),
 
with
 
duties
defined
 
in
 
legislation.
 
The
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
defines
 
the
 
monitoring
 
methods
 
for
 
Fingrid’s
 
grid
 
operations
 
for
 
two
four
 
-year
 
regulatory
 
periods
 
at
 
a
 
time.
 
The
 
fifth
 
regulatory
 
period
 
ended
 
in
 
2023.
 
The
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
has
 
defined
the
 
monitoring
 
methods
 
for
 
the
 
sixth
 
and
 
seventh
 
regulatory
 
periods,
 
i.e.
 
for
 
2024–2027
 
and
 
2028–2031.
 
The
monitoring
 
methods
 
define
 
the
 
maximum
 
annual
 
financial
 
regulatory
 
profit
 
for
 
Fingrid
 
by
 
the
 
regulation.
 
The
 
Energy
Authority
 
also
 
confirms
 
other
 
terms
 
and
 
conditions
 
for
 
Fingrid’s
 
regulated
 
operations.
 
The
 
reasonable
 
financial
 
regulatory
 
profit
 
by
 
the
 
regulation
 
forms
 
the
 
starting
 
point
 
for
 
Fingrid’s
 
financial
 
planning
and
 
pricing.
 
The
 
turnover
 
to
 
be
 
charged
 
for
 
the
 
services
 
can
 
be
 
calculated
 
by
 
adding
 
operating
 
expenses
 
to
 
the
result.
 
The
 
turnover
 
of
 
Fingrid’s
 
main
 
grid
 
segment
 
essentially
 
consists
 
of
 
the
 
fees
 
collected
 
from
 
the
 
grid
 
customers.
The
 
bulk
 
of
 
the
 
grid
 
service
 
fees
 
comes
 
from
 
the
 
consumption
 
of
 
electricity,
 
whereas
 
electricity
 
production
 
only
contributes
 
a
 
small
 
portion.
 
In
 
addition
 
to
 
electricity
 
consumption,
 
the
 
grid
 
service
 
fees
 
are
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
output
from
 
and
 
input
 
into
 
the
 
grid
 
and
 
power-based
 
tariffs.
 
The
 
turnover
 
of
 
the
 
balance
 
services
 
segment
 
comes
 
from
 
the
balancing
 
power
 
sold
 
to
 
maintain
 
the
 
national
 
power
 
balance
 
and
 
separate
 
balance
 
service
 
fees,
 
which
 
are
 
used
 
to
cover
 
the
 
costs
 
of
 
power
 
system
 
reserve
 
and
 
imbalance
 
management.
 
Fingrid’s
 
total
 
costs
 
consist
 
of
 
the
 
operating
expenses,
 
including
 
the
 
costs
 
of
 
the
 
segments
 
mentioned
 
above,
 
and
 
finance
 
costs
 
and
 
taxes,
 
which
 
are
 
excluded
from
 
the
 
regulatory
 
calculations.
 
Fingrid’s
 
operations
 
are
 
regulated,
 
including
 
both
 
reporting
 
segments,
 
i.e.
 
the
 
main
grid
 
segment
 
and
 
balance
 
services
 
segment.
The
 
so-called
 
adjusted
 
profit,
 
realised
 
in
 
compliance
 
with
 
the
 
regulation,
 
is
 
calculated
 
by
 
adjusting
 
the
 
parent
company’s
 
operating
 
profit
 
according
 
to
 
the
 
Energy
 
Market
 
Authority’s
 
regulation
 
methods
 
and
 
by
 
adding
 
the
impact
 
of
 
the
 
incentives.
Any
 
realised
 
regulatory
 
profit
 
over
 
a
 
regulatory
 
period
 
that
 
exceeds
 
the
 
allowed
 
return
 
is
 
a
 
surplus
 
that
 
must
 
be
offset
 
at
 
the
 
latest
 
during
 
the
 
next
 
regulatory
 
period,
 
e.g.
 
in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
lower
 
prices
 
for
 
customers
 
or
 
by
 
not
 
carrying
out
 
the
 
price
 
increa
 
ses
 
corresponding
 
to
 
the
 
rise
 
in
 
costs.
 
If
 
the
 
realised
 
regulatory
 
profit
 
over
 
a
 
regulatory
 
period is
below
 
the
 
allowed
 
financial
 
result,
 
a
 
deficit
 
is
 
created
 
which
 
Fingrid
 
may
 
recover
 
from
 
customers,
 
e.g.
 
in
 
the
 
form
 
of

prices.
 
Surplus
 
of
 
deficit
 
is
 
not
 
booked
 
into
 
the

Fingrid’s
 
aim
 
is
 
to
 
achieve
 
the
allowed
 
financial
 
result
 
in
 
the
 
regulatory
 
period.
In
 
the
 
regulatory
 
period
 
ending
 
in
 
2023,
 
Fingrid
 
achieved
 
the
 
allowed
 
regulatory
 
profit
 
and
 
recognised
 
EUR
 
28.5
million
 
in
 
cumulative
 
deficit
 
from
 
the
 
previous
 
regulatory
 
period
 
of
 
2016–2019.

General
 
information
 
about
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
general
 
accounting
 
principles
Fingrid Oyj is a Finnish public limited liability company responsible for electricity transmission in Finland’s main grid. The nationwide grid is an
integral part of the power system in Finland. The transmission grid is the trunk network to which major power plants and major consumers, such as
industry and regional electricity distribution networks, and cross-border transmission connections are connected.
Finland’s main grid is part of the Nordic power system, which is connected to the system in Central Europe via high-voltage direct current
transmission links. Finland also has DC links with Russia and Estonia. Cross-border transmission between Finland and Russia ended in May 2022.
The main grid encompasses more than 14,500 kilometres of 400, 220 and 110 kilovolt transmission lines, plus more than 100 substations.
Fingrid is in charge of planning and monitoring the operation of the main grid and for maintaining and developing the system. The company is
responsible for the national power balance and for ensuring that electricity consumption and production are always balanced. An additional task is
to participate in work carried out by ENTSO-E, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity, and in preparing European
market and operational codes as well as network planning.
Fingrid offers grid and balance services, as well as other services related to the electricity markets, such as data exchange, Financial Transmission
Rights (FTR) and the market related to power system reserves, to its contract customers, i.e. electricity producers, network operators and industry.
Fingrid serves the electricity market by maintaining adequate electricity transmission capacity, by securing the preconditions of maintaining power
balance, by removing bottlenecks in cross-border transmission links and by providing market data.
The consolidated financial statements include the parent company Fingrid Oyj and its wholly owned subsidiaries Finextra Oy and Datahub Oy. The
consolidated associated companies are eSett Oy (ownership 25.0%) and Nordic RCC A/S (ownership 25.0%). The Group has no joint ventures.
Fingrid issues bonds under the Euro Medium Term Note (EMTN) programme. Fingrid Oyj’s issuances under the EMTN programme are generally
listed on the London and Irish stock exchanges. Fingrid shares are not listed.
 
Fingrid
 
has
 
at
 
its
 
disposal
 
a

for

Critical
 
accounting
 
estimates
 
and
 
judgements
When
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
are
 
drawn
 
up
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
IFRS,
 
the
 
company
 
management
 
needs
 
to
 
make
 
estimates
 
and
assumptions
 
which
 
have
 
an
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
amounts
 
of
 
assets,
 
liabilities,
 
income
 
and
 
expenses
 
recorded
 
and
 
conditional
 
items
 
presented.
 
These
estimates
 
and
 
assumptions
 
are
 
based
 
on
 
historical
 
experience,
 
understanding
 
of
 
the
 
electricity
 
market’s
 
development
 
and
 
other
 
justified
assumptions
 
which
 
are
 
believed
 
to
 
be
 
reasonable
 
under
 
the
 
conditions
 
which
 
constitute
 
the
 
foundation
 
for
 
the
 
estimates
 
of
 
the
 
items
 
recognised
 
in
the
 
financial
 
statements.
 
The
 
energy
 
markets
 
are
 
undergoing
 
a
 
major
 
transformation.
 
The
 
actual
 
amounts
 
may
 
differ
 
from
 
these
 
estimates.
 
In
 
the
financial
 
statements,
 
estimates
 
have
 
been
 
used
 
for
 
example,
 
when
 
specifying
 
the
 
economic
 
lives
 
of
 
tangible
 
and
 
intangible
 
asset
 
items,
 
and
 
in
conjunction
 
with
 
deferred
 
taxes
 
and
 
provisions.
 
Critical
 
estimates
 
and
 
judgements
 
by
 
management
 
are
 
described
 
by

Segment
 
reporting
Starting
 
in
 
June
 
2023,
 
Fingrid
 
switched
 
to
 
reporting
 
on
 
two
 
operating
 
segments.
 
No
 
changes
 
have
 
taken
 
place
 
in
 
Fingrid’s
 
operations
 
or
organisational
 
structure.
 
The
 
operating
 
segments
 
reported
 
on
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
now
 
consist
 
of
 
the
 
main
 
grid
 
segment
 
and
 
the
 
balance
 
services
segment.
 
The
 
main
 
grid
 
segment
 
includes
 
development
 
&
 
maintenance
 
of
 
the
 
main
 
grid,
 
the
 
connection
 
of
 
new
 
production
 
and
 
consumption
 
to
 
the
network,
 
electricity
 
transmission,
 
grid
 
operation
 
and
 
the
 
development
 
of
 
unified
 
electricity
 
markets.
 
The
 
balance
 
services
 
segment
 
includes
 
activities
related
 
to
 
national
 
balance
 
management
 
and
 
imbalance
 
settlement.
 
Promoting
 
the
 
reserve
 
and
 
balancing
 
power
 
markets,
 
which
 
balance
 
the
 
power
system,
 
are
 
also
 
included
 
in
 
the
 
balance
 
services
 
segment.
 
Both
 
the
 
main
 
grid
 
segment
 
and
 
the
 
balance
 
services
 
segment
 
are
 
the
 
company’s
regulated
 
business
 
operations,
 
which
 
are
 
supervised
 
by
 
the
 
Energy
 
Authority.
 
Geographical
 
data
 
is
 
not
 
presented,
 
as
 
Fingrid
 
operates
 
only
 
in
Finland.
 
The
 
Group
 
also
 
has
 
other
 
tasks
 
that
 
fall
 
under
 
its
 
statutory
 
public
 
service
 
obligations,
 
and
 
these
 
have
 
been
 
included
 
in
 
other
 
activities
 
within
the
 
segment
 
information.
 
Segment
 
information
 
is
 
reported
 
in
 
a
 
manner
 
consistent
 
with
 
internal
 
reporting
 
to
 
the
 
chief
 
operating
 
decision-maker.
 
In
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
company’s
management
 
principles,
 
the
 
chief
 
operating
 
decision-maker,
 
who
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
allocating
 
resources
 
to
 
the
 
operating
 
segments
 
and
 
for
assessing
 
the
 
results
 
of
 
the
 
segments,
 
is
 
the
 
President
 
&
 
CEO.
The
 
segment
 
information
 
is
 
FAS
 
-compliant,
 
and
 
it
 
is
 
reconciled
 
with
 
the
 
IFRS
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements.
 
The
 
segments’
 
results
 
are
assessed
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
the
 
operating
 
result.
 
The
 
segments’
 
combined
 
operating
 
results
 
constitute
 
grid
 
operations’
 
operating
 
profit,
 
which
 
serves
as
 
the
 
basis
 
for
 
the
 
calculation
 
of
 
the
 
actual
 
adjusted
 
result
 
compatible
 
with
 
regulation.
 
Costs
 
are
 
allocated
 
to
 
the
 
segments
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
matching
 
principle,
 
which
 
creates
 
a
 
basis
 
for
 
pricing
 
the
 
services.
 
Finance
 
income
 
and
 
costs
 
are
 
not
 
allocated
 
to
 
the
 
segments,
 
as
 
the
 
Group’s
 
cash
assets
 
are
 
controlled
 
by
 
Group
 
Treasury.
Variations
 
between
 
the
 
segments’
 
results
 
and
 
turnover
 
are
 
typical.
 
The
 
segments
 
form
 
the
 
basis
 
for
 
the
 
calculation
 
of
 
Fingrid’s
 
adjusted
 
result
compatible
 
with
 
the
 
reasonable
 
return
 
regulation,
 
and
 
thus
 
the
 
results
 
development
 
of
 
one
 
segment
 
can
 
also
 
affect
 
the
 
other
 
segment
 
over
 
time
 
to
avoid
 
exceeding
 
the
 
allowed
 
regulatory
 
profit
 
set
 
for
 
the
 
operations.
 
The
 
segments’
 
service
 
prices
 
are
 
adjusted
 
to
 
correspond
 
to
 
costs
 
over
 
time.
Segment

and

Foreign
 
currency

The
 
consolidated
 
financial

are
 
presented
 
in
 
euros,
 
which
 
is
 
the
 
functional
 
currency
 
of
 
the

4.2
 
The
 
company's
 
general
 
risk
 
management
 
processes
 
and
 
policies
In
 
the
 
risk
 
management
 
process,
 
the
 
risk
 
factors
 
linked
 
with
 
operative
 
activities,
 
assets
 
and
 
financing
 
are
 
estimated
 
systematically
 
according
 
to
unified
 
criteria.
 
The
 
risks
 
are
 
divided
 
into
 
strategic
 
risks
 
and
 
major
 
business
 
risks
 
to
 
be
 
reported
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
of
 
Directors,
 
and
 
into
 
operational
 
risks.
Hedging
 
a
 
risk
 
will
 
be
 
implemented
 
when
 
the
 
cost
 
of
 
the
 
hedge
 
is
 
in
 
reasonable
 
relation
 
to
 
the
 
size
 
of
 
the
 
risk.
 
A
 
general
 
objective
 
is
 
to
 
transfer
significant
 
risks
 
by
 
contracts,
 
insurances
 
or
 
derivatives.
 
The
 
risks
 
deemed
 
to
 
be
 
moderate
 
in
 
terms
 
of
 
their
 
impacts
 
are
 
managed
 
by
 
Fingrid
independently,
 
through
 
clear
 
controls
 
and
 
other
 
practical
 
measures.
Risk
 
management
 
is
 
planned
 
holistically
 
with
 
the
 
objective
 
of
 
comprehensively
 
identifying,
 
assessing,
 
monitoring
 
and
 
safeguarding
 
the
 
company’s
operations,
 
the
 
environment,
 
personnel
 
and
 
assets
 
from
 
various
 
threats
 
and
 
risks.
 
Due
 
to
 
the
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
company’s
 
basic
 
mission,
 
risks
 
are
 
also
assessed
 
from
 
a
 
societal
 
perspective.
The
 
Board
 
approves
 
the
 
key
 
principles
 
of
 
internal
 
control
 
and
 
risk
 
management
 
and
 
any
 
amendments
 
to
 
them.
 
The
 
Board
 
of
 
Directors
 
approves
 
the
primary
 
actions
 
for
 
risk
 
management
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
corporate
 
strategy,
 
indicators,
 
action
 
plan,
 
and
 
budget.
 
The
 
Board
 
of
 
Directors
 
(audit
 
committee)
receives
 
a
 
situation
 
report
 
annually,
 
or
 
more
 
frequently
 
if
 
necessary,
 
on
 
the
 
major
 
risks
 
relating
 
to
 
the
 
operations
 
of
 
the
 
company
 
and
 
on
 
the
management
 
of
 
such
 
risks.

February
 
2024
 
In
 
2023,
 
Fingrid
 
continued
 
the
 
implementation
 
of
 
its
 
enterprise
 
risk
 
management
 
development
 
programme
 
aimed
 
at
 
identifying
 
and
 
managing
 
the
interdependencies
 
of
 
individual
 
risks
 
more
 
effectively.
 
The
 
programme
 
is
 
a
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
increasing
 
demands
 
on
 
risk
 
management
 
resulting
 
from
the
 
change
 
in
 
the
 
operating
 
environment.
 
The
 
person
 
in
 
charge
 
of
 
implementing
 
the
 
development
 
programme
 
is
 
the
 
company’s
 
CFO,
 
who
 
reports
on
 
its
 
progress
 
to
 
the
 
company’s
 
Board
 
of
 
Directors
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
annual
 
risk
 
management
 
reporting.
 
4.3
 
Formation
 
of
 
turnover
 
and
 
financial
 
result
Grid
 
service
 
revenue
 
is
 
mainly
 
determined
 
by
 
electricity
 
consumption.
 
The
 
proportion
 
of
 
the
 
fees
 
allocated
 
to
 
electricity
 
production
 
is
 
small,
 
in
compliance
 
with
 
EU
 
legislation.
 
The
 
Energy
 
Market
 
Authority
 
approves
 
the
 
pricing
 
structure
 
for
 
grid
 
services,
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
which
 
Fingrid
 
sets
 
the
unit
 
prices
 
for
 
electricity
 
transmission
 
during
 
the
 
winter
 
period
 
and
 
for
 
consumption
 
during
 
other
 
times.
 
In
 
addition
 
to
 
consumption
 
invoicing,
 
Fingrid
additionally
 
charges
 
fees
 
for
 
output
 
from
 
and
 
input
 
into
 
the
 
grid,
 
and
 
power-based
 
tariffs.
 
Within
 
the
 
framework
 
of
 
grid
 
services,
 
a
 
customer
 
obtains
the
 
right
 
to
 
transmit
 
electricity
 
to
 
and
 
from
 
the
 
main
 
grid
 
through
 
its
 
connection
 
point.
 
Fingrid
 
waived
 
the
 
grid
 
service
 
fees
 
for
 
six
 
months
 
in
 
2023
 
and
used
 
congestion
 
income
 
to
 
offset
 
the
 
substantial
 
increase
 
in
 
costs
 
to
 
the
 
benefit
 
of
 
its
 
customers.
 
More
 
information
 
on
 
congestion

is
provided
 
in

5.1.
Fingrid
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
the
 
continuous

in
 
Finland
 
at
 
all
 
times
 
by
 
buying
 
and

in
 
Finland.
 
Fingrid
 
buys
 
and

stabilise
 
the

(balance

are
 
based

a
 
balance
service
 
agreement
 
with
 
impartial
 
and
 
public
 
terms
 
and

is,
 
for

The
 
income
 
and
 
expenses
 
of
 
imbalance
 
power
 
are
 
ascertained
 
through
 
a
 
nationwide
 
imbalance

which
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
the
Ministry
 
of

decree
 
on
 
the
 
disclosure
 
obligation
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
settlement
 
of
 
electricity
 
delivery.
 
The
final
 
imbalance
 
settlement
 
is
 
completed
 
no
 
later
 
than
 
13
 
days
 
from
 
the
 
delivery
 
month,
 
which
 
is
 
why
 
the
 
income
 
and
 
expenses
 
of
 
imbalance
 
power
in
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
are
 
partly
 
based

Inter-Transmission

Operator
 
Compensation
 
(ITC)
Compensation
 
for
 
the
 
transit
 
transmissions
 
of
 
electricity
 
has
 
been
 
agreed
 
upon
 
through
 
an
 
ITC
 
(Inter-Transmission
 
System
 
Operator
Compensation)
 
agreement.
 
The
 
centralised
 
calculations
 
are
 
carried
 
out
 
by
 
ENTSO-E
 
(the
 
European
 
Network
 
of
 
Transmission
 
System
 
Operators
 
of
Electricity).
 
ITC
 
compensation
 
is
 
determined
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
the
 
compensation
 
paid
 
for
 
use
 
of
 
the
 
grid
 
and
 
transmission
 
losses.
 
The
 
ITC
 
calculations
take
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
electricity
 
transmissions
 
between
 
the
 
various
 
ITC
 
agreement
 
countries.
 
ITC
 
compensation
 
can
 
represent
 
both
 
an
 
income
 
and
a
 
cost
 
for
 
a
 
transmission
 
system
 
operator.
 
Fingrid’s
 
share
 
of
 
the
 
ITC
 
compensation
 
is
 
determined
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
the
 
cross-border
 
electricity
transmissions
 
and
 
imputed
 
grid
 
losses.
 
ITC
 
compensation
 
is
 
invoiced
 
retroactively
 
after
 
all
 
parties
 
to
 
the
 
ITC
 
agreement
 
have
 
approved
 
the
 
invoiced
sums.
 
Control
 
is
 
carried
 
out
 
monthly.
 
This
 
is
 
why
 
the
 
uninvoiced
 
ITC
 
compensations
 
for
 
2023
 
have
 
been
 
estimated
 
in
 
the
 
financial
 
statements.
 
The
estimate
 
has
 
been
 
made
 
using
 
actual
 
energy
 
border
 
transmissions
 
in
 
Finland
 
and

for

Cost
 
increases
 
due
 
to
 
new
 
tasks
 
and
 
external
 
changes
 
on
 
the
 
electricity
 
market
 
affecting
 
operations
 
has
 
been
 
a
 
special
 
characteristic
 
of
 
grid
operations
 
in
 
recent
 
years.
 
The
 
new
 
tasks
 
include
 
the
 
changes
 
required
 
by
 
the
 
European
 
network
 
codes
 
and
 
the
 
costs
 
for
 
developing
 
these
 
tasks
and
 
developing
 
the
 
Nordic
 
imbalance
 
settlement
 
and
 
the
 
related
 
markets.
 
Some
 
of
 
the
 
new
 
tasks
 
and
 
responsibilities
 
are
 
assigned
 
to
 
Fingrid
 
by
law,
 
which
 
means
 
the
 
company
 
must
 
increasingly
 
develop
 
and
 
back
 
up
 
its
 
operations.
 
The
 
cost
 
factors
 
also
 
include
 
the
 
expansion
 
and
 
increased
complexity
 
of
 
the
 
electricity
 
system,
 
society’s
 
increasing
 
dependency
 
on
 
the
 
electricity
 
system
 
and
 
needs
 
related
 
to
 
information
 
security,
 
as
 
well
 
as
the
 
preparation
 
and
 
implementation
 
of
 
the
 
company’s
 
extensive
 
investment
 
programme.
 
Fingrid
 
continues
 
to
 
be
 
one
 
of
 
the
 
most
 
cost-effective
TSOs
 
in
 
the
 
world
 
in
 
international
 
benchmark
 
studies.
 
An
 
indication
 
of
 
high
 
productivity
 
is
 
also
 
the
 
fact
 
that
 
the
 
operating
 
environment
 
has
 
expanded
significantly
 
more
 
than
 
the
 
operating
 
costs
 
have
 
grown.
 
The
 
most
 
significant
 
cost
 
items
 
are
 
the
 
imbalance
 
power
 
procurement,
 
reserve
 
costs
 
and
loss
 
power
 
costs.
Reserves
 
are
 
needed
 
to
 
maintain
 
the
 
grid’s
 
frequency
 
and
 
system
 
security.
 
The
 
electricity
 
market
 
participants
 
plan
 
in
 
advance
 
the
 
balance
 
of
 
their
consumption
 
and
 
production,
 
but
 
the
 
balancing
 
of
 
deviations
 
during
 
the
 
delivery
 
hour
 
requires
 
reserves,
 
which
 
Fingrid
 
acquires
 
from
 
the
 
markets
 
it
maintains.
 
Reserves
 
refer
 
to
 
power
 
plants,
 
demand
 
facilities
 
and
 
energy
 
storage
 
facilities,
 
which
 
are
 
able
 
to
 
adjust
 
their
 
electric
 
power
 
as
 
needed.
There
 
are
 
many
 
types
 
of
 
reserves,
 
and
 
they
 
are
 
divided
 
up
 
based
 
on
 
their
 
purpose.
 
Loss
 
power
 
costs
 
arise
 
based
 
on
 
transmission
 
losses
 
in
 
the
 
main
 
grid
 
and
 
the
 
price
 
of
 
electricity.
 
The
 
company
 
hedges
 
against
 
the
 
cost
 
of
 
procuring
loss
 
power
 
with
 
derivatives.

The
 
Group
 
follows
 
three
 
alternative
 
procurement
 
methods
 
when
 
purchasing
 
goods
 
or
 
services.
 
When
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
purchase
 
is
 
less
 
than
 
60,000
euros
 
and
 
the
 
benefits
 
of
 
a
 
competitive
 
tender
 
are
 
smaller
 
than
 
the
 
costs
 
of
 
the
 
purchase,
 
the
 
purchase
 
can
 
be
 
executed
 
without
 
a
 
competitive
tender
 
or
 
it
 
can
 
be
 
executed
 
through
 
an
 
oral
 
request.
 
A
 
written
 
order
 
or
 
purchasing
 
agreement
 
is
 
always
 
drawn
 
up.
 
When
 
the
 
estimated
 
value
 
of
 
the
procurement
 
exceeds
 
60,000
 
euros
 
but
 
is
 
below
 
the
 
threshold
 
values
 
applied
 
to
 
public
 
procurements,
 
the
 
procurement
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
competitive
bidding
 
by
 
requesting
 
written
 
bids
 
from
 
the
 
supplier
 
candidates.
 
When
 
the
 
public
 
procurement
 
threshold
 
values
 
that
 
apply
 
to
 
Fingrid
 
(in
 
2023:
 
EUR
431,000
 
for
 
goods
 
and
 
services,
 
EUR
 
5,382,000
 
for
 
construction
 
projects,
 
EUR
 
431,000
 
for
 
design
 
competitions
 
and
 
EUR
 
5,382,000
 
for
 
right-of-use
agreements)
 
are
 
exceeded,
 
the
 
company
 
follows
 
the
 
public
 
procurement
 
legislation
 
applied
 
to
 
special
 
sectors.

Inventories
Fingrid
 
prepares
 
for
 
outages
 
by
 
owning
 
and
 
maintaining
 
reserve
 
power
 
plants.
 
The
 
inventories
 
contain
 
fuel
 
for
 
reserve
 
power
 
plants,
 
spare
 
parts
 
for
submarine
 
cables,
 
back-up
 
equipment
 
and
 
parts
 
for
 
substations,
 
and
 
repair
 
equipment
 
for
 
transmission
 
lines.
 
The
 
aim
 
of
 
stockpiling
 
is
 
to
 
achieve
sufficient
 
preparedness
 
at
 
the
 
substations
 
and
 
on
 
the
 
transmission
 
lines
 
owned
 
by
 
Fingrid
 
in
 
case
 
of
 
faults
 
and
 
events
 
possibly
 
occurring
 
during
times
 
of
 
crisis.

Accounting
 
principles
Inventories
Inventories
 
are
 
measured
 
at
 
the
 
lower
 
of
 
acquisition
 
cost
 
or
 
net
 
realisable
 
value.
 
The
 
acquisition
 
cost
 
is
 
determined
 
using
 
the
 
FIFO
 
principle.
 
The
net
 
realisable
 
value
 
is
 
the
 
estimated
 
market
 
price
 
in
 
normal
 
business
 
reduced
 
by
 
the
 
estimated
 
future
 
costs
 
of
 
completing
 
and
 
estimated
 
costs
required
 
by
 
sale.
 
Inventories
 
consist
 
of
 
material
 
and
 
fuel
 
inventories.
4.7
 
 
Management
 
of
 
commodity
 
risks
The
 
company
 
is
 
exposed
 
to
 
electricity
 
price
 
and
 
volume
 
risk
 
through
 
transmission
 
losses
 
so
 
that
 
the
 
company
 
must
 
acquire
 
so-called
 
loss
 
power
 
in
an
 
amount
 
corresponding
 
to
 
the
 
electricity
 
transmission
 
losses.
 
A
 
deviation
 
from
 
the
 
predicted
 
volume
 
of
 
electricity
 
transmission
 
can
 
result
 
in
 
a
deviation
 
in
 
the
 
company’s
 
turnover
 
and
 
operating
 
profit.
 
This
 
can
 
be
 
a
 
surplus
 
or
 
deficit
 
compared
 
with
 
the
 
allowed
 
reasonable
 
return
 
for
 
the
 
year
 
in
question,
 
which
 
the
 
company
 
will
 
aim
 
to
 
offset
 
during
 
the
 
regulatory
 
period.
Loss
 
power
 
purchases
 
and
 
the
 
price
 
hedging
 
thereof
 
are
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
Corporate
 
Finance
 
Principles
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
of
 
Directors.
 
The
physical
 
loss
 
power
 
is
 
procured
 
from
 
the
 
NordPool
 
power
 
exchange
 
at
 
the
 
day’s
 
market
 
price.
 
The
 
price
 
risk
 
of
 
loss
 
power
 
procurement
 
is
 
hedged
with
 
electricity
 
derivatives.
 
The
 
purpose
 
of
 
price
 
hedging
 
is
 
to
 
reduce
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
market
 
price
 
volatility
 
and
 
enable
 
sufficient
 
predictability
 
for
 
loss
power
 
cost.
 
The
 
hedging
 
service
 
is
 
outsourced
 
to
 
an
 
external
 
portfolio
 
manager
 
who
 
decides
 
on
 
the
 
implementation
 
and
 
timing
 
of
 
the
 
hedge
according
 
to
 
the
 
specifications
 
of
 
the
 
loss
 
power
 
policy
 
and
 
the
 
given
 
instructions.
 
The
 
portfolio
 
manager
 
implements
 
the
 
hedge
 
with
 
an
 
OTC
counterparty
 
either
 
directly
 
or
 
via
 
the
 
power
 
exchange.
 
The
 
purchase
 
price
 
of
 
loss
 
power
 
is
 
hedged
 
using
 
derivatives
 
such
 
that
 
the
 
hedge
 
horizon
 
is
four
 
years
 
at
 
maximum.
 
The
 
price
 
hedging
 
is
 
implemented
 
with
 
listed
 
futures
 
and
 
forward
 
contracts,
 
including
 
OTC
 
forwards,
 
which
 
did
 
not
 
include
collateral
 
requirements
 
in
 
2023.
 
The
 
counterparty
 
risk
 
of
 
bilateral
 
contracts
 
is
 
managed
 
with
 
counterparty-specific
 
limits.
 
Commodity
 
risks
 
other
 
than
 
those
 
related
 
to
 
loss
 
energy
 
purchases
 
arise
 
if
 
the
 
company
 
enters
 
into
 
purchasing
 
agreements
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
price
 
of
 
the
underlying
 
commodity
 
influences
 
the
 
final
 
price
 
of
 
the
 
investment
 
commodity
 
(commodity
 
price
 
risk).
 
The
 
company
 
uses
 
derivatives
 
to
 
hedge
against
 
commodity
 
price
 
risks
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
that
 
the
 
hedging
 
instruments
 
of
 
the
 
risk
 
in
 
question
 
are
 
cost-effectively
 
available
 
and
 
the
 
risk
 
cannot
otherwise
 
be
 
hedged.
A
 
summary
 
of
 
the
 
derivatives
 
is

A

refers
 
to
 
a
 
pension
scheme
 
according
 
to
 
which

are

Taxes
The

will
 
pay
 
its
 
income
 
taxes
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
underlying
 
tax

tax:

-30.4
 
(-45.4)
 
million
 
and
 
EUR
 
30.2
 
(-6.2)
 
million
 
respectively.
 
Fingrid’s
 
effective
 
tax
 
rate
 
is
 
essentially
comparable
 
to
 
Finland’s
 
corporate
 
tax
 
rate
 
of
 
20
 
%,
 
taking
 
into
 
account
 
Fingrid’s
 
share
 
of
 
the
 
associated
 
company’s
 
revenue.
 
In
 
2023,
 
Fingrid
accumulated
 
EUR
 
28.5
 
million
 
in
 
depreciation
 
difference,
 
which
 
the
 
company
 
will
 
use
 
to
 
reinforce
 
its
 
financial
 
buffers
 
as
 
the
 
risks
 
in
 
the
 
operating
environment
 
increase.

LONG-TERM
 
INVESTOR
 
(IFRS)
Chapter
 
five
 
focusses
 
on
 
Fingrid’s
 
assets,
 
and
 
above
 
all,
 
the
 
most
 
important
 
ones:
 
grid
 
assets
 
and
 
factors
 
affecting
 
them.
The
 
chapter
 
takes
 
a
 
look
 
at
 
the
 
company’s
 
goodwill
 
and
 
provides
 
a
 
description
 
of
 
other
 
property,
 
plant
 
and
 
equipment,
 
and
intangible
 
assets.
5.1
 
Grid
 
assets
The
 
company’s
 
total
 
capital
 
expenditure
 
in
 
2023
 
amounted
 
to
 
EUR
 
322.0
 
(276.1)
 
million.
 
This
 
included
 
a
 
total
 
of
 
EUR
 
303.8
 
(246.0)
 
million
 
invested
in
 
the
 
transmission
 
grid
 
and
 
EUR
 
2.8
 
(3.7)
 
million
 
for
 
reserve
 
power.
 
ICT
 
investments
 
amounted
 
to
 
EUR
 
8.8
 
(11.0)
 
million.
 
A
 
total
 
of
 
EUR
 
2.4
 
(1.8)
million
 
was
 
used
 
for
 
R&D
 
projects
 
during
 
the
 
year
 
under
 
review.
 
In
 
2023,
 
Fingrid
 
completed
 
15
 
power
 
system
 
substations
 
and
 
56
 
kilometres
 
of
transmission
 
lines.
Grid
 
assets
 
are
 
recognised
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
for
 
the
 
purposes
 
of
 
the
 
company’s
 
regulatory
 
balance
 
sheet.
 
The
 
regulatory
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
transmission
network
 
assets
 
(adjusted
 
replacement
 
cost)
 
is
 
calculated
 
by
 
adding
 
up
 
the
 
adjusted
 
replacement
 
costs
 
for
 
each
 
grid
 
component;
 
these
 
are
calculated
 
by
 
multiplying
 
the
 
unit
 
price
 
specified
 
by
 
the
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
with
 
the
 
number
 
of
 
grid
 
components.
 
In
 
compliance
 
with
 
the
 
regulatory
monitoring
 
method,
 
the
 
unit
 
prices
 
from
 
2022
 
are
 
used
 
for
 
calculating
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
main
 
grid
 
in
 
2023.
 
The
 
adjusted
 
present
 
value
 
in
 
use
 
for
 
a
grid
 
component
 
is
 
calculated
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
adjusted
 
replacement
 
cost,
 
using
 
the
 
useful
 
life
 
and
 
mean
 
lifetime
 
data
 
of
 
the
 
grid
 
component.
Congestion
 
income
Congestion
 
income
 
is
 
generated
 
because
 
of
 
an
 
insufficient
 
transmission
 
capacity
 
between
 
the
 
bidding
 
zones
 
of
 
an
 
electricity
 
exchange.
 
In
 
such
cases,
 
the
 
bidding
 
zones
 
become
 
separate
 
price
 
areas,
 
and
 
the
 
transmission
 
link
 
joining
 
them
 
generates
 
congestion
 
income
 
in
 
the
 
electricity
exchange
 
as
 
follows:
 
congestion
 
income
 
[€/h]
 
=
 
transmission
 
volume
 
in
 
the
 
day-ahead
 
markets
 
[MW]
 
*
 
area
 
price
 
difference
 
[€/MWh].
 
The
 
basis
 
for
this
 
is
 
that
 
a
 
seller
 
operating
 
in
 
a
 
lower
 
priced
 
area
 
receives
 
less
 
for
 
their
 
power
 
than
 
what
 
a
 
buyer
 
pays
 
for
 
it
 
in
 
a
 
higher
 
priced
 
area.
 
The
 
additional
income
 
caused
 
by
 
this
 
price
 
difference,
 
i.e.
 
congestion
 
income,
 
remains
 
in
 
the
 
electricity
 
exchange,
 
which
 
then
 
pays
 
the
 
income
 
to
 
the
 
TSOs
 
as
 
per
the
 
contractual
 
terms.
 
Congestion
 
income
 
from
 
cross-border
 
connections
 
is
 
divided
 
evenly
 
between
 
the
 
transmission
 
system
 
operators
 
of
 
the
 
two
countries.
 
Finland
 
is
 
a
 
single
 
price
 
area
 
and
 
congestion
 
income
 
is
 
not
 
generated
 
from
 
the
 
internal
 
transmission
 
connections.
 
The
 
congestion
 
income
received
 
by
 
a
 
grid
 
owner
 
must
 
be
 
used
 
for
 
the
 
purposes
 
stated
 
in
 
EU
 
Regulation
 
2019/943,
 
Article
 
19:
 
guaranteeing
 
the
 
actual
 
availability
 
of
 
the
allocated
 
capacity,
 
maintaining
 
or
 
increasing
 
interconnection
 
capacities
 
through
 
network
 
investments,
 
covering
 
the
 
costs
 
of
 
maintaining
 
said
capacity,
 
and
 
recognising
 
congestion
 
income
 
in
 
the
 
company’s
 
turnover.
 
The
 
long-term
 
transmission
 
rights
 
(LTTR)
 
adopted
 
between
 
Finland
 
and
 
Estonia
 
are
 
Financial
 
Transmission
 
Rights
 
(FTR)
 
from
 
Finland
 
to
 
Estonia,
which
 
are
 
issued
 
by
 
the
 
transmission
 
system
 
operators
 
and
 
cleared
 
financially.
 
The
 
underlying
 
asset
 
of
 
FTRs
 
is
 
the
 
price
 
difference
 
between
 
the
Finnish
 
and
 
Estonian
 
price
 
areas.
 
The
 
FTRs
 
are
 
offered
 
as
 
yearly
 
and
 
monthly
 
products
 
and
 
cover
 
roughly
 
two
 
thirds
 
of
 
the
 
electricity
 
transmission
capacity
 
between
 
Finland
 
and
 
Estonia.
 
The
 
owner
 
of
 
an
 
FTR
 
is
 
entitled
 
to
 
receive
 
a
 
payment
 
when
 
the
 
price
 
difference
 
is
 
positive
 
in
 
the
 
agreed
transmission
 
direction.
 
This
 
payment
 
to
 
the
 
FTR
 
holder
 
is
 
included
 
in
 
the
 
costs
 
to
 
be
 
covered
 
by
 
Fingrid’s
 
congestion
 
income.
 
The
 
FTRs
 
are
distributed
 
to
 
the
 
buyers
 
in
 
an
 
auction
 
on
 
the
 
pan-European
 
trading
 
platform,
 
which
 
determines
 
the
 
price
 
according
 
to
 
the
 
margin
 
pricing
 
principle,
 
at
the
 
point
 
where
 
demand
 
and
 
supply
 
meet.
 
The
 
auction
 
prices
 
paid
 
for
 
FTRs
 
are
 
included
 
in
 
the
 
congestion
 
income
 
accrued
 
to
 
Fingrid.
 
In
 
Europe,
the
 
Joint
 
Allocation
 
Office
 
(JAO)
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
arranging
 
the
 
auctions
 
and
 
maintaining
 
the
 
trading
 
platform.

The
 
entire
 
business
 
of
 
the
 
Fingrid
 
Group
 
is
 
grid

in
 
Finland
 
with
 
system

which
 
the
 
full
 
goodwill
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
in
 
the
 
balance
sheet
 
is
 
fully
 
allocated
 
to.
 
The
 
goodwill
 
included
 
in
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
amounts
 
to
 
EUR
 
87.9
 
million
 
and
 
has
 
not
 
changed
 
during
 
the
 
periods
 
under

Since,
 
per
 
the

the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
net

included
 
in
 
the
 
company’s

Accounting
 
principles
Property,
 
plant
 
and

Grid
 
assets
 
form
 
most
 
of
 
the
 
property,
 
plant
 
and
 
equipment.
 
Grid
 
assets
 
include,
 
among
 
other
 
things,
 
400
 
kV,
 
220
 
kV,
 
110
 
kV
 
transmission
 
lines,
direct
 
current
 
lines,
 
transmission
 
line
 
right-of-ways,
 
substations
 
and
 
the
 
areas
 
they
 
encompass
 
(buildings,
 
structures,
 
machinery
 
and
 
equipment,
substation
 
access
 
roads),
 
gas
 
turbine
 
power
 
plants,
 
fuel
 
tanks,
 
generators
 
and
 
turbines.
Property,
 
plant
 
and
 
equipment
 
are
 
valued
 
in
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
at
 
the
 
original
 
acquisition
 
cost
 
less
 
accumulated
 
depreciation
 
and
 
potential
impairment.
 
If
 
an
 
asset
 
is
 
made
 
up
 
of
 
several
 
parts
 
with
 
useful
 
lives
 
of
 
different
 
lengths,
 
the
 
parts
 
are
 
treated
 
as
 
separate
 
items
 
and
 
are
 
depreciated
over
 
their
 
separate
 
useful
 
lives.
When
 
a
 
part
 
of
 
property,
 
plant
 
and
 
equipment
 
that
 
is
 
treated
 
as
 
a
 
separate
 
item
 
is
 
replaced,
 
the
 
costs
 
relating
 
to
 
the
 
new
 
part
 
are
 
capitalised.
 
Other
subsequent
 
costs
 
are
 
capitalised
 
only
 
if
 
it
 
is
 
likely
 
that
 
the
 
future
 
economic
 
benefit
 
relating
 
to
 
the
 
asset
 
benefits
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
the
 
acquisition
 
cost
 
of
the
 
asset
 
can
 
be
 
determined
 
reliably.
 
Repair
 
and
 
maintenance
 
costs
 
are
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
when
 
they
 
are
 
incurred.

asset
form
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
acquisition
 
cost
 
of
 
the
 
asset
 
item
 
in
 
question.
 
A
 
qualifying
 
asset
 
is
 
one
 
that
 
necessarily
 
requires
 
a
 
considerably
 
long
 
time
 
to
 
be
made
 
ready
 
for
 
its
 
intended
 
purpose.
 
Other
 
borrowing
 
costs
 
are
 
recognised
 
as
 
an
 
expense.
 
Borrowing
 
costs
 
included
 
in
 
the
 
acquisition
 
cost
 
are
calculated
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
the
 
average
 
borrowing
 
cost
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
Property,
 
plant
 
and
 
equipment
 
is
 
depreciated
 
over
 
the
 
useful
 
life
 
of
 
the
 
item
 
using
 
the
 
straight-line
 
method.
 
Depreciation
 
on
 
property,
 
plant
 
and
equipment
 
taken
 
into
 
use
 
during
 
the
 
financial
 
year
 
is
 
calculated
 
on
 
an
 
item-by-item
 
basis
 
from
 
the
 
month
 
of
 
introduction.
 
Land
 
and
 
water
 
areas
 
are
not
 
depreciated.
 
The
 
expected
 
economic
 
lives
 
are
 
verified
 
at
 
each
 
closing
 
date,
 
and
 
if
 
they
 
differ
 
significantly
 
from
 
the

estimates,
 
the

are
 
amended
 
accordingly.
The

Goodwill
 
created
 
as
 
a

of
 
the

valued
 
at

Goodwill
 
is
 
allocated
 
to
 
the
 
transmission
 
grid
 
business
 
and
 
is
 
tested
 
annually
 
for
impairment.
 
Impairment
 
testing
 
is
 
carried
 
out
 
by
 
comparing
 
the
 
regulatory

to
 
the

Regulatory

Computer

valued
 
at
 
its
 
original
 
acquisition
 
cost
and
 
depreciated
 
on
 
a
 
straight

basis
 
during
 
its

According
 
to
 
IFRIC’s
 
2021

on
 
the
 
interpretation
 
of

right-of-use
 
assets
 
and
lease
 
liabilities
 
in
 
the

sheet,
 
except
 
for
 
items
 
of
 
short
 
duration
 
(lease
 
terms
 
of
 
less
 
than
 
12
 
months)
 
and
 
of
 
insignificant
 
value.
 
A
 
right-of-use
asset
 
and
 
a
 
corresponding
 
liability
 
are
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
at
 
the
 
date
 
at
 
which
 
the
 
leased
 
asset
 
is
 
available
 
for
 
use
 
by
 
the
 
Group.
 
The
right-of-use
 
asset
 
is
 
depreciated
 
as
 
straight-line
 
depreciations,
 
over
 
the
 
shorter
 
of
 
lease
 
term
 
and
 
useful
 
life
 
of
 
the
 
underlying
 
asset.
 
The
 
interest
cost
 
of
 
lease
 
liabilities
 
is
 
recorded
 
in
 
finance
 
costs.
 
Lease
 
liability
 
payments
 
are
 
stated
 
in
 
the
 
cash
 
flow
 
of
 
financing
 
activities
 
and
 
the
 
related
 
interest
in
 
interest
 
expenses.
The
 
length
 
of
 
the
 
lease
 
period
 
is
 
the
 
time
 
during
 
which
 
the
 
agreement
 
cannot
 
be
 
cancelled.
 
Lease
 
agreements
 
may
 
include
 
extension
 
options
 
and
these
 
are
 
taken
 
into
 
account
 
in
 
the
 
length
 
of
 
the
 
lease
 
period,
 
if
 
the
 
management
 
considers
 
it
 
highly
 
likely
 
that
 
they
 
will
 
be
 
used.
The
 
real-estate
 
leases
 
do
 
not
 
clearly
 
define
 
the
 
interest
 
rate
 
implicit
 
in
 
the
 
lease,
 
which
 
is
 
why
 
Fingrid
 
uses
 
as
 
the
 
interest
 
rate
 
an
 
estimate
 
of
 
the
company’s
 
incremental
 
borrowing
 
rate
 
for
 
real
 
estate
 
leases.
 
The
 
incremental
 
borrowing
 
rate
 
is
 
determined
 
for
 
the
 
entire
 
real-estate
 
lease
 
portfolio,
whereby
 
all
 
real-estate
 
leases
 
are
 
discounted
 
using
 
the
 
same
 
interest
 
rate.
 
The
 
discount
 
rates
 
applied
 
in
 
discounting
 
leases
 
under
 
IFRS
 
16
 
are
based
 
on
 
the
 
market
 
yield
 
on
 
the
 
company’s
 
publicly
 
quoted
 
bonds.
Short-term
 
leases
 
or
 
leases
 
of
 
low-value
 
assets,
 
which
 
are
 
expensed
 
in
 
equal
 
instalments,
 
consist
 
of
 
vehicle
 
lease
 
payments,
 
lease
 
payments
 
for
land
 
and
 
water
 
areas
 
and
 
lease
 
payments
 
for
 
small
 
machinery
 
and
 
equipment.

STRONG
 
FINANCIAL
 
POSITION
 
(IFRS)
Chapter
 
six
 
describes
 
how
 
Fingrid’s
 
financing
 
is
 
formed
 
and
 
the
 
related
 
risk
 
management.
 
The
 
chapter
 
also
 
presents
 
how
short-term
 
financial
 
assets
 
that
 
maintain
 
liquidity
 
are
 
formed.
The
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
chapter
 
contains
 
a
 
summary
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
assets
 
and
 
financing
 
liabilities,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
derivatives,
 
that
 
the
company
 
uses
 
exclusively
 
for
 
risk
 
management
 
purposes.
 
The
 
risks
 
relate
 
to
 
various
 
market
 
risks,
 
i.e.
 
the
 
electricity
 
and
commodity
 
price
 
risk
 
and
 
the
 
interest
 
rate
 
and
 
exchange
 
rate
 
risk.
 
Management
 
of
 
the
 
electricity
 
price
 
and
 
volume
 
risk
 
is
described
 
in
 
chapter
 
4.7.
 
The
 
chapter
 
describes
 
the
 
company’s
 
principles
 
of
 
capital
 
management,
 
ownership
 
structure
 
and
 
dividend
 
distribution
policy.
6.1
 
Capital
 
management
Equity
 
and
 
liabilities
 
as
 
shown
 
in
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
are
 
managed
 
by
 
Fingrid
 
as
 
capital.
The
 
company
 
must
 
have
 
a
 
capital
 
structure
 
to
 
support
 
consistently
 
strong
 
credit
 
ratings,
 
reasonable
 
cost
 
of
 
capital
 
and
 
adequate
 
dividend
 
pay-out
capability.
 
The
 
principal
 
aim
 
of
 
Fingrid’s
 
capital
 
management
 
and
 
grid
 
asset
 
management
 
is
 
to
 
ensure
 
uninterrupted
 
operations
 
and
 
value
 
retention
as
 
well
 
as
 
rapid
 
recovery
 
from
 
any
 
exceptional
 
circumstances.
The
 
company
 
aims
 
to
 
maintain
 
a
 
credit
 
rating
 
of
 
at
 
least
 
‘A-’.
 
The
 
company
 
has
 
not
 
set
 
specific
 
key
 
financial
 
ratio
 
targets
 
for
 
accounting
 
balance
sheet
 
or
 
regulatory
 
balance
 
sheet
 
capital
 
management,
 
but
 
instead
 
monitors
 
and
 
controls
 
the
 
overall
 
situation,
 
for
 
which
 
credit
 
ratings
 
and
 
their
underlying
 
risk
 
analyses
 
and
 
other
 
parameters
 
create
 
a
 
foundation.
The
 
company’s
 
credit
 
rating
 
remained
 
high
 
in
 
2023.
 
This
 
reflects
 
the
 
company’s
 
strong
 
overall
 
financial
 
situation,
 
its
 
key
 
role
 
as
 
an
 
implementer
 
of
climate
 
targets,
 
and
 
its
 
debt
 
service
 
capacity.
 
Fingrid
 
has
 
credit
 
rating
 
service
 
agreements
 
with
 
S&P
 
Global
 
Ratings
 
(S&P)
 
and
 
Fitch
 
Ratings
 
(Fitch).
6.2
 
The
 
organisation
 
of
 
financing
 
activities
 
and
 
the
 
principles
 
for
 
financial
 
risk
 
management
The
 
company
 
has
 
a
 
holistic
 
approach
 
to
 
the
 
management
 
of
 
financing
 
activities,
 
encompassing
 
external
 
financing,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
managing
 
liquidity,
counterparty
 
and
 
financial
 
risks,
 
and
 
supporting
 
business
 
operations
 
in
 
matters
 
related
 
to
 
financing
 
in
 
general.
Fingrid’s
 
financial
 
capital
 
consists
 
of
 
equity
 
and
 
debt
 
financing.
 
The
 
share
 
of
 
equity
 
from
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
total
 
was
 
20.1%
 
and
 
that
 
of
 
liabilities
79.9%
 
in
 
2023.
 
The
 
IFRS
 
16
 
standard
 
reduced
 
the
 
share
 
of
 
equity
 
by
 
0.2%
 
points.
 
Regulatory
 
equity
 
was
 
68.3%
 
and
 
liabilities
 
were
 
31.7%
 
of
 
the
regulatory
 
balance
 
sheet
 
in
 
2023.
Fingrid
 
Oyj
 
is
 
exposed
 
to
 
several
 
types
 
of
 
financing
 
risk
 
in
 
the
 
management
 
of
 
its
 
overall
 
financing.
 
The
 
objective
 
of
 
financial
 
risk
 
management
 
is
 
to
foster
 
shareholder
 
value
 
by
 
securing
 
the
 
financing
 
required
 
for
 
the
 
company’s
 
business
 
operations,
 
by
 
hedging
 
against
 
the
 
main
 
financial
 
risks
 
and
by
 
minimising
 
financing
 
costs
 
within
 
the
 
risk
 
limits.
The
 
derivative
 
instruments
 
used
 
for
 
hedging
 
are
 
approved
 
annually
 
in
 
the
 
Treasury
 
Policy.
 
The
 
company
 
uses
 
derivative
 
instruments
 
to
 
hedge
interest
 
rate,
 
foreign
 
exchange
 
and
 
commodity
 
risks.
Corporate
 
finance
 
principles
The
 
Board
 
of
 
Directors
 
of
 
Fingrid
 
Oyj
 
approves
 
the
 
Corporate

Principles
 
which
 
define
 
how
 
Fingrid
 
Oyj
 
manages
 
financing
 
as
 
a
 
whole,
including
 
a
 
minimum
 
target
 
for
 
the
 
company’s
 
credit
 
rating.
 
The
 
external
 
financing
 
of

Financial
 
liabilities,
 
financial
 
costs
 
and
 
managing
 
the
 
financial
 
risks
The
 
company
 
takes
 
advantage
 
of
 
the
 
opportunities
 
offered
 
by
 
credit
 
ratings
 
at
 
any
 
given
 
time
 
on
 
the
 
international
 
and
 
domestic
 
money
 
markets.
Market-based
 
and
 
diversified
 
financing
 
is
 
sought
 
from
 
several
 
sources.
 
The
 
goal
 
is
 
a
 
balanced
 
maturity
 
profile.
 
Fingrid’s
 
existing
 
loan
 
agreements,
debt
 
and
 
commercial
 
paper
 
programmes
 
are
 
unsecured
 
and
 
do
 
not
 
include
 
any
 
financial
 
covenants
 
based
 
on
 
financial
 
ratios.
 
The
 
EUR
 
1.5
 
billion
EMTN
 
programme
 
designed
 
for
 
Fingrid’s
 
long-term
 
financing
 
is
 
listed
 
on
 
the
 
Irish
 
Stock
 
Exchange
 
(Euronext
 
Dublin).
Green
 
financing
Green
 
financing
 
is
 
a
 
key
 
component
 
of
 
Fingrid’s
 
financing
 
strategy
 
and
 
responsible
 
operating
 
model.
 
The
 
company’s
 
objective
 
is
 
to
 
substantially
increase
 
the
 
share
 
of
 
green
 
financing
 
in
 
its
 
total
 
financing.
 
In
 
2023,
 
Fingrid
 
established
 
a
 
new
 
Green
 
Finance
 
Framework
 
to
 
integrate
 
Fingrid’s
sustainable
 
strategy,
 
which
 
enables
 
Finland
 
to
 
reach
 
its
 
climate
 
goals,
 
further
 
into
 
the
 
company’s
 
financing
 
activities.
 
In
 
connection
 
with
 
establishing
the
 
framework,
 
Fingrid
 
also
 
established
 
a
 
EUR
 
600
 
million
 
Green
 
Euro
 
Commercial
 
Paper
 
Programme,
 
which
 
will
 
be
 
used
 
to
 
cover
 
short-term
financing
 
needs
 
with
 
commercial
 
papers
 
with
 
a
 
maturity
 
of
 
no
 
more
 
than
 
one
 
year.

Managing
 
the
 
market
 
risks
 
of
 
debt
The
 
company
 
issues
 
bonds
 
in
 
the
 
international
 
and
 
domestic
 
money
 
and
 
debt
 
capital
 
markets.
 
Fingrid’s
 
borrowings
 
are
 
issued
 
in
 
both
 
fixed
 
and
floating
 
interest
 
rates
 
and
 
in
 
several
 
currencies.
 
They
 
thus
 
expose
 
Fingrid’s
 
cash
 
flow
 
to
 
interest
 
rate
 
and
 
exchange
 
rate
 
risks.
 
Fingrid
 
uses
derivative
 
contracts
 
to
 
hedge
 
against
 
these
 
risks.
 
Fingrid
 
generally
 
holds
 
issued
 
bonds
 
to
 
maturity
 
and
 
thus
 
does
 
not
 
value
 
its
 
bonds
 
in
 
the
 
balance
sheet
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
or

the
 
fair

risk.
The
 
currency
 
risks
 
related
 
to
 
bonds
 
and
 
the

of

are
 
fully

Transaction
 
risk
The
 
company
 
uses
 
derivatives
 
to
 
fully
 
hedge
 
against
 
exchange
 
rate
 
risks
 
when
 
it
 
is
 
cost-effective
 
to
 
do
 
so
 
and
 
against
 
commodity
 
price
 
risks
 
to
 
the
extent
 
that
 
the
 
hedging
 
instruments
 
of
 
the
 
risk
 
in
 
question
 
are
 
cost-effectively
 
available
 
and
 
hedging
 
cannot
 
otherwise
 
be
 
implemented,
 
for
 
instance,
through
 
contracts.
 
During
 
the
 
financial
 
year,
 
the
 
company
 
used
 
currency
 
and
 
metal
 
derivatives
 
to
 
hedge
 
business
 
transaction
 
risks.
 
A
 
summary
 
of
the
 
derivatives
 
is
 
presented
 
in
 
Note
 
24.
 
Interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
The
 
company
 
is
 
only
 
exposed
 
to
 
euro
 
denominated
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
from
 
its
 
business
 
operations,
 
assets
 
and
 
borrowings.
 
The
 
company’s
borrowings
 
are,
 
both
 
in
 
terms
 
of
 
principal
 
and
 
interest
 
payments,
 
fully
 
hedged
 
against
 
exchange
 
rate
 
risks.
 
Cash
 
and
 
cash
 
equivalents
 
and
 
financial
assets
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
are
 
denominated
 
in
 
euros.
 
The
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
inherent
 
in
 
Fingrid’s
 
operations
 
is
 
caused
 
by
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
risk-free
 
interest
 
in
 
the
 
WACC
 
model.
 
If
 
the
 
risk-free
 
interest
 
rate
rises/falls
 
by
 
one
 
percentage
 
unit,
 
the
 
pre-tax
 
WACC
 
rises/falls
 
by
 
1.125
 
percentage
 
units.
The
 
objective
 
of
 
managing
 
the
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
on
 
the
 
loan
 
portfolio
 
is
 
to
 
minimise
 
interest
 
costs
 
in
 
the
 
long
 
term.
 
The
 
aim
 
is
 
to
 
keep
 
the
 
average
interest
 
rate
 
period
 
of
 
the
 
gross
 
interest
 
exposure
 
for
 
the
 
loan
 
portfolio
 
(derivatives
 
and
 
liabilities)
 
at
 
around
 
twelve
 
(12)
 
months.
 
The
 
loan
 
portfolio’s
interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
arises
 
from
 
market
 
interest
 
rate
 
volatility,
 
which
 
decreases
 
or
 
increases
 
the
 
annual
 
interest
 
expenses
 
on
 
the
 
company’s
 
floating-
rate
 
loans.
 
When
 
market
 
interest
 
rates
 
increase/decrease,
 
the
 
interest
 
expenses
 
of
 
the
 
floating-rate
 
loans
 
also
 
increase/decrease.
 
The
 
company
hedges
 
this
 
so-called
 
cash
 
flow
 
risk
 
with
 
derivatives.
 
Determination
 
of
 
the
 
reasonable
 
rate
 
of
 
return
 
in
 
regulation
 
and
 
operational
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
The
 
reasonable
 
rate
 
of
 
return
 
on
 
adjusted
 
capital
 
committed
 
to
 
grid
 
operations
 
is
 
determined
 
by
 
using
 
the
 
weighted
 
average
 
cost
 
of
 
capital
 
model
(WACC).
 
The
 
WACC
 
model
 
determined
 
by
 
the
 
Finnish
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
illustrates
 
the
 
average
 
cost
 
of
 
the
 
capital
 
used
 
by
 
the
 
company,
 
where
 
the
weights
 
are
 
the
 
relative
 
values
 
of
 
equity
 
and
 
debt.
 
The
 
weighted
 
average
 
of
 
the
 
costs
 
of
 
equity
 
and
 
interest-bearing
 
debt
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
calculate
 
the
total
 
cost
 
of
 
capital,
 
i.e.
 
the
 
reasonable
 
rate
 
of
 
return
 
per
 
the
 
regulation.
 
The
 
reasonable
 
return
 
is
 
calculated
 
by
 
multiplying
 
the
 
adjusted
 
capital
invested
 
in
 
network
 
operations
 
by
 
the
 
WACC.
 
 
Liquidity
 
risk
Fingrid
 
is
 
exposed
 
to
 
liquidity
 
and
 
refinancing
 
risks
 
arising
 
from
 
the
 
redemption
 
of
 
loans,
 
payments
 
and
 
fluctuations
 
in
 
cash
 
flow
 
from
 
operating
activities.
 
The
 
liquidity
 
of
 
the
 
company
 
must
 
be
 
arranged
 
so
 
that
 
liquid
 
assets
 
(cash
 
and
 
cash
 
equivalents,
 
and
 
financial
 
assets
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
income
 
statement
 
at
 
fair
 
value)
 
and
 
available
 
long-term
 
committed
 
credit
 
lines
 
can
 
cover
 
110%
 
of
 
the
 
refinancing
 
needs
 
for
 
the
 
next
 
12
 
months.
 
The
 
company
 
has
 
a
 
revolving
 
credit
 
facility
 
agreement
 
of
 
EUR
 
300
 
million
 
signed
 
on
 
30
 
November
 
2021.
 
The
 
revolving
 
credit
 
facility’s
 
loan
 
period
extends
 
until
 
30
 
November
 
2028.
 
The
 
facility
 
is
 
committed
 
and
 
has
 
not
 
been
 
drawn.
 
Additionally,
 
the
 
company
 
has
 
at
 
its
 
disposal
 
a
 
total
 
of
 
EUR
 
90
million
 
in
 
overdraft
 
limits
 
with
 
banks
 
to
 
secure
 
liquidity.
The
 
refinancing
 
risk
 
is
 
managed
 
with
 
the
 
aim
 
of
 
building
 
an
 
even
 
maturity
 
profile
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
share
 
of
 
long-term
 
loans
 
in
 
a
 
single
 
year
 
constitutes
less
 
than
 
30
 
per
 
cent
 
of
 
the
 
total
 
debt
 
and
 
the
 
average
 
maturity
 
of
 
the
 
company’s
 
loan
 
portfolio
 
is
 
at
 
least
 
three
 
years.
 
To
 
secure
 
refinancing,
 
the
company
 
makes
 
wide
 
use
 
of
 
diverse
 
sources
 
of
 
financing.
 
The
 
high
 
credit
 
rating
 
and
 
good
 
bank
 
and
 
investor
 
relations
 
enable
 
ready
 
access
 
to
 
the
debt
 
capital
 
market
 
and
 
thus
 
minimises
 
the
 
company’s
 
debt
 
refinancing
 
risks
 
and
 
financing
 
costs.
The
 
counterparty
 
risks
 
of
 
financing
 
activities
 
are
 
caused
 
by
 
asset
 
management
 
companies,
 
derivatives
 
counterparties,
 
insurance
 
companies
 
and
bank
 
counterparties.
 
The
 
company
 
minimises
 
any
 
counterparty
 
risks
 
and
 
can,
 
if
 
necessary,
 
demand
 
guarantees
 
from
 
counterparties
 
to
 
strengthen
its
 
risk
 
position.
 
As
 
a
 
rule,
 
credit
 
rating
 
categories
 
are
 
the
 
decisive
 
factor
 
in
 
specifying
 
the
 
counterparty
 
limit.
Contractual
 
repayments
 
and

on

The

amounts
 
are
 
undiscounted
values.
 
Finance
 
costs
 
arising
 
from

are
 
often

depending
 
on
 
the
 
nature
 
of
 
the

Borrowings
 
are
 
initially
 
recognised
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
net
 
of
 
the
 
transaction
 
costs
 
incurred.
 
Transaction
 
costs
 
consist
 
of
 
bond
 
prices
 
above
 
or
 
below
 
par
value,
 
arrangement
 
fees,
 
commissions
 
and
 
administrative
 
fees
 
that
 
are
 
directly
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
loan.
 
Borrowings
 
are
 
subsequently
 
measured
 
at
amortised
 
cost;
 
any
 
difference
 
between
 
the
 
loan
 
amount
 
and
 
the
 
amount
 
to
 
be
 
repaid
 
is
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
over
 
the
 
loan
 
period
using
 
the
 
effective
 
interest
 
rate
 
method.
 
Borrowings
 
are
 
derecognised
 
when
 
they
 
mature
 
and
 
are
 
repaid.
Commitment
 
fees
 
to
 
be
 
paid
 
on
 
credit
 
facilities
 
are
 
entered
 
as
 
transaction
 
costs
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
loan
 
insofar
 
as
 
partial
 
or
 
full
 
utilisation
 
of
 
the
 
facility
 
is
likely.
 
In
 
such
 
cases,
 
the
 
fee
 
is
 
capitalized
 
in
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
until
 
the
 
facility
 
is
 
utilised.
 
If
 
there
 
is
 
no
 
proof
 
that
 
loans
 
included
 
in
 
a
 
facility
 
are
 
likely
to
 
be
 
drawn
 
in
 
part
 
or
 
in
 
full,
 
the
 
fee
 
will
 
be
 
recognised
 
as
 
an
 
upfront
 
payment
 
for
 
liquidity
 
services
 
and
 
amortized
 
over
 
the
 
maturity
 
of
 
the
 
facility
 
in
question.

Classification
 
of
 
financial
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
The
 
Group
 
classifies
 
the
 
financial
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
its
 
business
 
model
 
and
 
in
 
compliance
 
with
 
IFRS
 
9.
The
 
classification
 
is
 
accomplished
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
the
 
objective
 
of
 
the
 
business
 
model
 
and
 
the
 
contract-based
 
cash
 
flows
 
from
 
the
 
investments.
Cash
 
and
 
cash
 
equivalents
Cash
 
and
 
cash
 
equivalents
 
on
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
consist
 
of
 
cash
 
in
 
hand
 
and
 
bank
 
deposits
 
with
 
an
 
initial
 
maturity
 
of
 
no
 
more
 
than
 
three
 
months.
 
In
the
 
cash
 
flow
 
statement,
 
cash
 
and
 
cash
 
equivalents
 
also
 
include
 
fixed
 
income
 
funds
 
due
 
to
 
their
 
liquid
 
nature.
 
Cash
 
and
 
cash
 
equivalents
 
are
derecognised
 
when
 
they
 
mature,
 
are
 
sold
 
or
 
otherwise
 
disposed
 
of.
 
Other
 
financial
 
assets
The
 
financial
 
assets
 
classified
 
in
 
this
 
category
 
on
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
consist
 
of
 
short-term
 
investments
 
in

funds,
 
bank
 
deposits
 
for
 
more
than
 
three

contract.
 
The
asset
 
management
 
investments
 
are
 
booked
 
on
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
at
 
amortised
 
cost.
 
On
 
the
 
cash
 
flow
 
statement,
 
they
 
are
 
booked
 
in
 
‘Cash

are
 
booked
 
into
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
at
 
the
settlement
 
date.
 
Subsequently,
 
the
 
financial
 
assets
 
are
 
measured
 
on
 
each
 
reporting
 
day
 
at
 
fair
 
value,
 
and
 
the
 
change
 
in
 
their
 
value
 
is
 
recognised
 
in
the
 
income
 
statement
 
under
 
finance

and
 
costs.
 
Derivatives
 
are
 
also
 
included
 
in
 
this
 
group

The
 
Group
 
actively
 
tests
 
each
 
instrument
 
for
 
impairment
and
 
if
 
the
 
impairment
 
criteria
 
are
 
met,
 
the
 
impairment
 
is
 
booked
 
into
 
the
 
income
 
statement.
Financial
 
assets
 
are
 
derecognised
 
when
 
they
 
mature,
 
are
 
sold
 
or
 
otherwise
 
disposed
 
of
 
such
 
that
 
their
 
risks
 
and
 
revenues
 
have
 
been
 
transferred.
Financial
 
liabilities
 
Financial
 
liabilities
 
consist
 
of
 
loans
 
and
 
derivative
 
instruments.
 
Loans
 
are
 
items
 
recognised
 
at
 
amortised
 
cost.
 
Loans
 
are
 
recognised
 
in
 
accounting
with
 
transaction
 
costs
 
deducted,
 
after
 
which
 
the
 
loans
 
are
 
measured
 
at

The

of

indicates
 
the
 
realised
 
profit/loss
 
if
 
they
 
had
 
been
 
closed
 
on
 
the
 
last
 
trading
 
day
 
of
 
2023.
 
Accounting
 
practices
 
for
electricity
 
derivatives
 
were
 
redefined
 
during
 
the
 
2023
 
financial
 
year,
 
and
 
the
 
comparative
 
disclosures
 
for
 
2022
 
were
 
adjusted
 
to
 
reflect
 
the
 
new
booking
 
practice.
 
The
 
fair

of
 
electricity
 
derivatives
 
is
 
no
 
longer
 
booked
 
specifically
 
for
 
each

The

The

uses
 
derivative
 
instruments
 
to

risks
 
and,
 
by

maturity.
 
The
 
derivative
 
instruments
 
used
 
for
 
hedging
 
are
 
approved
 
annually.
 
A
 
valid
 
framework
 
agreement
 
(ISDA
 
or
 
other
 
agreement)
 
must
 
be
 
in
place
 
with
 
the
 
derivative
 
counterparty
 
before
 
concluding
 
a
 
transaction.
 
The
 
derivatives
 
falling
 
under
 
the
 
scope
 
of
 
an
 
ISDA
 
agreement
 
can
 
be
 
netted
in
 
conditional
 
circumstances
 
such
 
as
 
default
 
or
 
bankruptcy.
 
The
 
company
 
had
 
financial
 
and
 
metal
 
derivatives
 
that
 
can
 
be
 
netted
 
as
 
per
 
ISDA
 
at
 
a
total
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
EUR
 
-13.0
 
million
 
(-8.1)
 
on
 
31
 
December
 
2023.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
company
 
had
 
electricity
 
derivatives
 
with
 
OTC
 
counterparties
 
that
can
 
be
 
netted
 
as
 
per
 
a
 
framework
 
agreement
 
at
 
a
 
total
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
EUR
 
34.0
 
(219.0)
 
million.
The
 
derivative
 
transactions
 
hedging
 
the
 
company’s
 
loan
 
portfolio
 
consist
 
of
 
interest
 
rate
 
and
 
cross
 
currency
 
swaps
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
purchased
 
cap
options,
 
which
 
serve
 
to
 
hedge
 
most
 
of
 
the
 
loan
 
portfolio
 
from
 
a
 
sudden
 
change
 
in
 
short-term
 
interest
 
rates.
 
During
 
the
 
financial
 
year,
 
the
 
company
used
 
currency
 
and
 
metal
 
derivatives
 
to
 
hedge
 
business
 
transaction
 
risks.
 
Currency
 
derivatives
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
fix
 
the
 
exchange
 
rate
 
for
 
non-euro-
denominated
 
contracts
 
related
 
to
 
business
 
operations.
 
Electricity
 
derivatives
 
are
 
designed
 
to
 
hedge
 
the
 
price
 
risk
 
of
 
future
 
loss
 
power
 
purchases.
Metal
 
derivatives
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
hedge
 
against
 
the
 
metal
 
price
 
risk
 
arising
 
from
 
purchases
 
insofar
 
as
 
it
 
cannot
 
otherwise
 
be
 
managed,
 
typically
 
with
fixed
 
contracts
 
between
 
the
 
supplier
 
and
 
client.
 
The
 
management
 
of
 
electricity
 
price
 
risk
 
is
 
described
 
in
 
chapter
 
4.7.
The
 
sensitivity
 
of
 
the
 
loan
 
portfolio
 
to
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
is
 
measured
 
by
 
using
 
a
 
Cash
 
Flow
 
at
 
Risk
 
(CFaR)
 
type
 
of
 
model,
 
more
 
specifically
 
the
Autoregressive
 
Integrated
 
Moving
 
Average
 
(ARIMA)
 
model.
 
The
 
key
 
parameters
 
of
 
the
 
model
 
are
 
the
 
3-month
 
and
 
6-month
 
Euribor
 
rates,
 
where
the
 
historical
 
time
 
series
 
serve
 
as
 
a
 
basis
 
for
 
a
 
forward-looking
 
simulation
 
of
 
the
 
probable
 
future
 
interest
 
expenses
 
for
 
Fingrid’s
 
loan
 
portfolio.
 
The
exposure
 
on
 
which
 
the
 
sensitivity
 
analysis
 
is
 
calculated
 
includes
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
interest-bearing
 
borrowings,
 
the
 
loan
 
portfolio’s
 
derivatives
 
and
interest-rate
 
options
 
purchased
 
to
 
hedge
 
against
 
unexpected
 
changes
 
in
 
interest
 
rates.
 
According
 
to
 
the
 
model,
 
there
 
is
 
a
 
95%
 
probability
 
that
Fingrid’s
 
interest
 
expenses
 
will
 
amount
 
to
 
a
 
maximum
 
of
 
EUR
 
31.6
 
million
 
during
 
the
 
next
 
12
 
months.
The
 
sensitivity
 
of
 
the
 
net
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
currency
 
derivatives
 
to
 
exchange
 
rates
 
on
 
the
 
reporting
 
date
 
is
 
measured
 
as
 
a
 
10
 
per
 
cent
 
change
 
in
exchange
 
rates
 
between
 
the
 
euro
 
and
 
foreign
 
currencies.
 
The
 
sensitivity
 
analyses
 
gauge
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
spot
 
and
 
future
 
rates
 
on
 
the
 
reporting
 
date
while
 
keeping
 
the
 
other
 
factors
 
constant.
 
If
 
the
 
euro
 
had
 
been
 
10%
 
stronger/weaker
 
compared
 
to
 
foreign
 
currencies
 
on
 
31
 
December
 
2023,
 
the
impact
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
profit
 
before
 
taxes
 
would
 
have
 
been
 
EUR
 
0.4
 
million
 
negative/EUR
 
0.5
 
million
 
positive.
 
The
 
change
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
electricity
 
derivatives
 
used
 
for
 
hedging
 
the
 
price
 
of
 
Fingrid’s
 
loss
 
power
 
purchases
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
 
operating
profit
 
was
 
EUR
 
185.0
 
negative
 
(EUR
 
140.9
 
million
 
positive).
 
The
 
volatility
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
electricity
 
derivatives
 
can
 
be
 
significant.
 
The
 
negative
impact
 
on
 
profit
 
resulted
 
from
 
the
 
effect
 
of
 
lower
 
market
 
quotations
 
for
 
electricity
 
derivatives
 
on
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
electricity
 
derivatives.
 
Fingrid
holds
 
its
 
bought
 
derivatives
 
to
 
maturity.
 
In
 
2023,
 
2.63
 
TWh
 
of
 
electricity
 
derivatives
 
reached
 
maturity,
 
and
 
2.20
 
TWh
 
of
 
new
 
derivatives
 
were
 
taken,
amounting
 
a
 
negative
 
net
 
change
 
of

TWh.
The

the

of
 
electricity
 
derivatives
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
changes
 
in
 
the

measured
 
as
 
the

An

to

has
 
been
 
confirmed,
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
authorisation
 
given
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
in
 
the
 
Annual
General
 
Meeting.
 
The
 
Board
 
has
 
the
 
right
 
to
 
decide,
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
authorisation
 
granted
 
to
 
it,
 
on
 
the
 
payment
 
of
 
the
 
second
 
dividend
 
instalment
after
 
the
 
half-year
 
report
 
has
 
been
 
confirmed
 
and
 
it
 
has
 
assessed
 
the
 
company’s
 
solvency,
 
financial
 
position
 
and
 
financial
 
development.
 
The
dividends
 
that
 
have
 
been
 
decided
 
on
 
with
 
the
 
authorisation
 
given
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
shall
 
be
 
paid
 
on
 
the
 
third
 
banking
 
day
 
after
 
the
 
decision.
 
It
 
will
 
be
proposed
 
that
 
the
 
authorisation
 
remains
 
valid
 
until
 
the
 
next
 
Annual
 
General
 
Meeting.
The
 
distributable
 
funds
 
are
 
calculated
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
the
 
parent
 
company’s
 
equity.
 
Dividends
 
are
 
paid
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
distributable
 
funds
 
of
 
the
 
parent
company.
 
The
 
guiding
 
principle
 
for
 
Fingrid’s
 
dividend
 
policy
 
is
 
to
 
distribute
 
substantially
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
parent
 
company
 
profit
 
as
 
dividends.
 
When
 
making
 
the
decision,
 
however,
 
the
 
economic
 
conditions,
 
the
 
company’s
 
near-term
 
capital
 
expenditure
 
and
 
development
 
needs
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
any
 
prevailing
financial
 
targets
 
of
 
the
 
company
 
are
 
always
 
taken
 
into
 
account.

Subsidiaries
The
 
subsidiaries
 
encompass
 
all
 
companies
 
over
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
control.
 
The
 
Group
 
is
 
considered
 
to
 
have
 
control
 
over
 
a
 
company
 
if
 
the
Group’s
 
holding
 
results
 
in
 
exposure
 
to
 
variable
 
returns
 
or
 
if
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
entitled
 
to
 
variable
 
returns
 
and
 
it
 
can
 
influence
 
these
 
returns
 
by
 
exercising
its
 
control
 
over
 
the
 
company.
 
The
 
subsidiaries
 
are
 
consolidated
 
into
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
starting
 
from
 
the
 
day
 
on
 
which
 
the
 
Group
gained
 
control
 
over
 
the
 
company.
 
Consolidation
 
is
 
discontinued
 
once
 
the
 
control
 
ceases
 
to
 
exist.
Consolidation
 
of
 
operations
 
is
 
carried
 
out
 
using
 
acquisition
 
cost
 
method.
Transactions,
 
receivables
 
and
 
liabilities
 
between
 
Group
 
companies
 
and
 
any
 
unrealised
 
profits
 
from
 
internal
 
transactions
 
are
 
eliminated.
 
Unrealised
losses
 
are
 
also
 
eliminated
 
unless
 
the
 
transaction
 
indicates
 
an
 
impairment
 
of
 
the
 
disposed
 
asset.
 
If
 
necessary,
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
of
 
the
subsidiaries
 
have
 
been
 
adjusted
 
to
 
correspond
 
to
 
the
 
accounting
 
principles
 
applied
 
by
 
the
 
Group.
 
Associated
 
companies
The
 
associated
 
companies
 
include
 
all
 
companies
 
over
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
significant
 
influence
 
but
 
no
 
control
 
or
 
joint
 
control.
 
This
 
is
 
generally
based
 
on
 
a
 
shareholding
 
amounting
 
to
 
20–50%
 
of
 
the
 
votes.
Investments
 
in
 
associated

initially
 
recognised
 
at
 
the

and
 
subsequently
 
handled
 
using
 
the
 
equity
 
method.
 
According
to
 
the
 
equity
 
method,
 
investments
 
are
 
initially
 
recorded
 
at
 
the
 
acquisition
 
cost
 
and
 
this
 
is
 
subsequently
 
adjusted

after
 
the
 
time

Provisions
A
 
provision
 
is
 
recorded
 
when
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
a
 
legal
 
or
 
factual
 
obligation
 
based
 
on
 
an
 
earlier
 
event
 
and
 
it
 
is
 
likely
 
that
 
fulfilling
 
the
 
obligation
 
will
require
 
a
 
payment,
 
and
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
obligation
 
can
 
be
 
estimated
 
reliably.
The
 
provisions
 
are
 
valued
 
at
 
the
 
present
 
value
 
of
 
the

required
 
to

the
 
obligation.
 
The

used
 
in
 
calculating
 
the

is

with
 
the

on
 
25
 
May

related
 
to
 
the
 
claims
 
by

that
Fingrid
 
has
 
neglected
 
its
 
obligation
 
to
 
develop
 
the

as
 
stated
 
in
 
the
 
Finnish
 
Electricity

that,
 
as
 
a

on
 
connecting
 
the
 
Olkiluoto

Fingrid

Oy’s
financial
 
regulation
 
for
 
the
 
regulatory
 
period
 
2024–2027
 
and
 
simultaneously
 
proposed
 
that
 
the

be
 
developed
 
further.

Fingrid

for

excluding
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
derivatives
 
and
 
before
 
taxes,
 
is
 
expected
 
to
 
increase
compared
 
to
 
2023.
 
This
 
estimation
 
includes
 
the
 
recognition
 
of
 
congestion
 
income
 
in
 
the
 
company’s
 
turnover
 
and
 
other
 
operating
 
income.
 
The
implementation
 
of
 
the
 
investment
 
programme
 
is
 
proceeding,
 
which
 
raises
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
company’s
 
investments
 
in
 
2024.
 
Increasing
 
weather
dependence
 
in
 
electricity
 
production
 
poses
 
a
 
challenge
 
to
 
forecasting
 
electricity
 
transmission
 
and
 
increases
 
fluctuations
 
in
 
the
 
national
 
power
balance
 
and
 
its
 
maintenance.
 
The
 
availability
 
and
 
price
 
of
 
flexible
 
power
 
production
 
and
 
power
 
system
 
flexibility
 
will
 
influence
 
the
 
cost
 
of
 
the
reserves
 
necessary
 
for
 
managing
 
the
 
power
 
balance
 
and
 
safeguarding

security.
 
Fluctuations
 
in
 
the
 
electricity
 
market
 
prices
 
and
 
availability
of
 
system

will
 
increase

costs.
 
The
 
company’s

is
 
expected
 
to
 
remain

On
 
21
 
September
 
2023,
 
Fingrid
 
announced
 
that
 
it
 
will
 
waive
 
grid
 
service
 
fees
 
for
 
January,
 
February
 
and
 
June
 
of
 
2024.
 
The

moreover
plans
 
to
 
waive

is
 
also,
 
in

to
 
use
 
accruing
 
congestion
 
income
 
actively
 
for
 
investments
 
that
 
will
 
increase
 
cross-border

to
 
cover

costs
 
to
 
benefit
 
Fingrid’s
 
customers.
On
 
2
 
January
 
2024,
 
Fingrid
 
appealed
 
the
 
Energy
 
Authority’s
 
decision
 
on
 
the
 
terms
 
and
 
conditions
 
of
 
balance
 
service
 
at
 
the
 
Market
 
Court.
 
The
appeal
 
mainly
 
concerns
 
the
 
collateral
 
model
 
for
 
balance
 
responsible
 
parties
 
presented
 
in
 
the
 
decision.
 
In
 
November
 
2023,
 
the
 
Energy
 
Authority
issued
 
a
 
decision
 
on
 
the
 
terms
 
and
 
conditions
 
for
 
balance
 
responsible
 
parties,
 
which
 
include
 
the
 
principles
 
for
 
how
 
collateral
 
requirements
 
are
determined.
 
The
 
Energy
 
Authority’s
 
decision
 
includes
 
major
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
current
 
collateral
 
terms
 
and
 
conditions
 
and
 
sets
 
apart
 
Finland’s
collateral
 
model
 
from
 
that
 
used
 
in
 
other
 
Nordic
 
countries.
 
The
 
most
 
significant
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
current
 
collateral
 
model
 
include
 
a
 
major
 
reduction
 
in
the
 
required
 
collaterals,
 
elimination
 
of
 
the
 
requirement
 
to
 
provide
 
an
 
adequate
 
additional
 
collateral
 
and
 
a
 
possible
 
collateral
 
ceiling.
On
 
29
 
January
 
2024,
 
Fingrid
 
appealed
 
the
 
Energy
 
Authority’s
 
decision
 
on
 
the
 
methods
 
concerning
 
the
 
specification
 
of
 
the
 
return
 
for
 
the
 
electricity
transmission
 
grid
 
operations
 
for
 
the
 
sixth
 
regulatory
 
period
 
1
 
January
 
2024–31
 
December
 
2027
 
and
 
seventh
 
regulatory
 
period
 
1
 
January
 
2028–31
December
 
2031
 
at
 
the
 
Market
 
Court.
 
According
 
to
 
Fingrid’s
 
assessment,
 
the
 
decision
 
on
 
the
 
regulatory
 
methods
 
is
 
a
 
significant
 
weakening
 
of
 
the
electricity
 
transmission
 
grid
 
operations’
 
reasonable
 
return
 
regulatory
 
method
 
that
 
expired
 
at
 
year-end.
 
In
 
Fingrid’s
 
view,
 
the
 
assessment
 
of
 
impacts
in
 
preparing
 
the
 
regulatory
 
model
 
decision
 
has
 
been
 
deficient
 
and
 
there
 
are
 
still
 
issues
 
open
 
to
 
interpretation
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
presented
 
decision.
Fingrid’s
 
goal
 
is
 
a
 
solution
 
that
 
would
 
also
 
enable
 
the
 
future
 
development
 
of
 
the
 
main
 
electricity
 
grid,
 
allowing
 
the
 
hundreds
 
of
 
billions
 
in
 
green
transition
 
investments
 
in
 
Finland
 
to
 
be
 
implemented
 
as
 
planned.
On

that
 
Fingrid
 
has
 
neglected
 
its
obligation
 
to
 
develop
 
the
 
main
 
grid
 
as
 
stated
 
in
 
the
 
Finnish
 
Electricity
 
Market
 
Act
 
and/or
 
other
 
applicable
 
legislation,
 
and
 
that,
 
as
 
a
 
result,
 
it
 
has
placed
 
unlawful
 
restrictions
 
on
 
connecting
 
the
 
Olkiluoto
 
3
 
nuclear
 
power
 
plant
 
to
 
the
 
grid,
 
and
 
that
 
Fingrid
 
is
 
in
 
breach
 
of
 
its
 
administrative
obligations
 
linked
 
to
 
carrying
 
out
 
its
 
public
 
administrative
 
task.
 
The
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
states
 
in
 
its
 
decision
 
on
 
11
 
January
 
2024
 
that
 
Fingrid
 
fulfilled
 
its
development,
 
connection
 
and
 
transmission
 
obligations
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Electricity
 
Market
 
Act.
 
The
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
also
 
found
 
the
 
1,300
 
MW
power
 
limit
 
specified
 
in
 
Fingrid’s
 
connection
 
terms
 
justified
 
and
 
did
 
not
 
find
 
Fingrid
 
to
 
have
 
restricted
 
Olkiluoto
 
3’s
 
access
 
to
 
the
 
grid.

(named

presented
 
a
 
claim
 
for
 
a
 
revised
 
decision
 
and
 
filed
 
an
 
appeal
 
with
the
 
Market
 
Court
 
on
 
Fingrid’s
 
procurement
 
decision
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
procurement
 
of
 
the
 
user
 
license
 
for
 
an
 
integration
 
platform
 
on
 
6
 
February
 
2024.
On
 
16
 
February
 
2024,
 
Fingrid
 
revoked
 
its
 
procurement
 
decision
 
and
 
reported
 
on
 
19
 
February
 
2024
 
to
 
the
 
Market
 
Court
 
that
 
the
 
procurement
decision
 
had
 
been
 
revoked.
 
Following
 
the
 
revoking
 
of
 
the
 
procurement
 
decision,
 
the
 
Market
 
Court
 
will
 
decide
 
on
 
the
 
claim
 
for
 
legal
 
costs
 
presented
by
 
HiQ
 
Finland
 
Oy.
 
Fingrid
 
considers
 
the
 
claim
 
for
 
legal
 
costs
 
to
 
be
 
excessive.

ACCOUNTING
 
PRINCIPLES
 
 
Fingrid
 
Oyj's
 
financial
 
statements
 
have
 
been
 
drawn
 
up
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Finnish
 
Accounting
 
Standards
 
(FAS).
 
The
 
items
 
in
 
the
 
financial
statements
 
are
 
valued
 
at
 
original
 
acquisition
 
cost.
Foreign
 
currency
 
transactions
 
Commercial
 
transactions
 
and
 
financial
 
items
 
denominated
 
in
 
foreign
 
currencies
 
are
 
recognised
 
at
 
the
 
foreign
 
exchange
 
mid-rate
 
quoted
 
by
 
the
European
 
Central
 
Bank
 
(ECB)
 
at
 
the
 
transaction
 
date.
 
Interest-bearing
 
liabilities
 
and
 
receivables
 
and
 
the
 
derivatives
 
hedging
 
these
 
items
 
are
 
valued
at
 
the
 
mid-rate
 
quoted
 
by
 
the
 
ECB
 
at

and
 
losses
 
on
 
interest-bearing
 
liabilities
 
and
 
receivables,
 
and
 
on
 
the
instruments
 
hedging
 
these
 
items,
 
are
 
recognised
 
at
 
maturity
 
under
 
finance
 
income
 
and
 
costs.
 
Foreign
 
exchange
 
rate
 
differences
 
arising
 
from
 
the
derivatives
 
used
 
to
 
hedge
 
commercial
 
currency
 
flows
 
are
 
recognised
 
to
 
adjust
 
the
 
corresponding
 
item
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement.
Interest
 
and
 
currency
 
derivatives
Interest
 
rate
 
and
 
currency
 
swaps,
 
currency
 
derivatives
 
and
 
interest
 
rate
 
options
 
are
 
used,
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Treasury
 
Policy,
 
to
 
hedge
 
the
interest
 
rate
 
and
 
foreign
 
exchange
 
risk,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
commercial
 
items,
 
in
 
Fingrid’s
 
balance
 
sheet
 
items.
 
The
 
accounting
 
principles
 
for
 
derivative
contracts
 
are
 
the
 
same
 
as
 
for
 
the
 
underlying
 
items.
 
The
 
interest
 
rate
 
items
 
of
 
interest
 
rate
 
and
 
cross-currency
 
swaps
 
and
 
interest
 
rate
 
options
 
are
accrued
 
and
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
under
 
interest
 
income
 
and
 
costs.
 
The
 
interest
 
portion
 
of
 
currency
 
derivative
 
contracts
 
hedging
 
the
interest-bearing
 
liabilities
 
and
 
receivables
 
is
 
accrued
 
over
 
the
 
maturity
 
of
 
the
 
contracts
 
and
 
recognised
 
under
 
finance
 
income
 
and
 
costs.
 
Premiums
paid
 
or
 
received
 
on
 
interest
 
rate
 
options
 
are
 
accrued
 
over
 
the
 
hedging
 
period.
Electricity
 
derivatives
Fingrid
 
hedges
 
its
 
loss
 
power
 
purchases
 
against
 
price
 
risk
 
with
 
listed
 
futures
 
and
 
forward
 
contracts,
 
and
 
on
 
the
 
OTC
 
market,
 
with
 
contracts
comparable
 
to
 
financial
 
products.
 
The
 
profits
 
and
 
losses
 
arising
 
from
 
these
 
contracts
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
adjust
 
the
 
loss
 
energy
 
purchases
 
in
 
the
 
income
statement
 
in
 
the
 
period
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
hedging
 
impacts
 
profit
 
or
 
loss.
Metal
 
derivatives
The
 
company
 
concludes
 
metal
 
derivative
 
agreements
 
to
 
hedge
 
against
 
the
 
metal
 
price
 
risk
 
arising
 
from
 
purchases.
Research
 
and
 
development
 
expenses
Research
 
and
 
development
 
expenses
 
are
 
treated
 
as
 
annual
 
expenses.
Valuation
 
of
 
fixed
 
assets
 
Fixed
 
assets
 
are
 
capitalised
 
under
 
immediate
 
acquisition
 
cost.
 
Planned
 
straight-line
 
depreciation
 
on
 
the
 
acquisition
 
price
 
is
 
calculated
 
on
 
the
 
basis
of
 
the
 
useful
 
life
 
of
 
the
 
fixed
 
asset.
 
Depreciation
 
on
 
fixed
 
assets
 
taken
 
into
 
use
 
during
 
the

are
 
valued
at
 
the
 
lower
 
of
 
original

cost
 
or
 
probable
 
market
 
price.
Interest-bearing
 
liabilities
 
Fingrid’s
 
non-current
 
interest-bearing
 
liabilities
 
consist
 
of
 
loans
 
from
 
financial
 
institutions
 
and
 
bonds
 
issued
 
under
 
the
 
Euro
 
Medium
 
Term
 
Note
(EMTN)
 
programme.
 
The
 
current
 
interest-bearing
 
liabilities
 
consist
 
of
 
commercial
 
papers
 
issued
 
under
 
the
 
domestic
 
and
 
international
 
programmes
and
 
of
 
the
 
current
 
portion
 
of
 
noncurrent
 
borrowings
 
and
 
bonds
 
maturing
 
within
 
a
 
year.
 
The
 
outstanding
 
notes
 
under
 
the
 
programmes
 
are
denominated
 
in
 
euros
 
and
 
foreign
 
currencies.
 
Fingrid
 
has
 
both
 
fixed
 
and
 
floating
 
rate
 
debt.
 
The
 
interest
 
is
 
accrued
 
over
 
the
 
maturity
 
of
 
the
 
debt.
 
The
differential
 
of
 
a
 
bond
 
issued
 
over
 
or
 
under
 
par
 
value
 
is
 
accrued
 
over
 
the
 
life
 
of
 
the
 
bond.
 
The
 
arrangement
 
fees
 
of
 
the
 
revolving
 
credit
 
facilities
 
are,
as
 
a
 
rule,
 
immediately
 
recognised
 
as
 
an
 
expense,
 
and
 
the
 
commitment
 
fees
 
are
 
recognised
 
as
 
an
 
expense
 
over
 
the
 
maturity
 
of
 
the
 
facility.
Financial
 
risk
 
management
The
 
principles
 
applied
 
to
 
the
 
management
 
of
 
financial
 
risks
 
are
 
presented
 
in
 
chapters
 
6.2
 
and
 
6.3
 
of
 
the
 
Notes
 
to
 
the
 
Consolidated
 
Financial
Statements.
Income
 
taxes
Taxes
 
include
 
the
 
accrued
 
tax
 
corresponding
 
to
 
the
 
profit
 
for
 
the
 
financial
 
year
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
tax
 
adjustments
 
for
 
previous
 
financial
 
years.
Deferred
 
taxes
 
The
 
company
 
enters
 
deferred
 
tax
 
assets
 
for
 
the
 
congestion
 
income
 
it
 
uses
 
for
 
investments,
 
and
 
they
 
become
 
taxable
 
income
 
and
 
tax
 
in
 
the
 
year
 
in
which
 
they
 
were
 
used.
 
The
 
tax
 
assets
 
entered
 
for
 
congestion
 
income
 
are
 
recognised
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
depreciation
 
used
 
in
 
taxation
 
for
investments
 
covered
 
by
 
congestion
 
income.
 
Congestion
 
income
 
allocated
 
to
 
investments
 
is
 
entered
 
as
 
a
 
reduction
 
in
 
acquisition
 
cost.
 
For
 
the
 
rest,
deferred
 
tax
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
are
 
not
 
recorded
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
or
 
balance
 
sheet,
 
but
 
are
 
instead
 
presented
 
in
 
the
 
notes.

LEGAL
 
PROCEEDINGS
 
AND
 
PROCEEDINGS
 
BY
 
AUTHORITIES
Teollisuuden
 
Voima
 
Oyj
 
(“TVO”)
 
lodged
 
a
 
request
 
for
 
an
 
investigation
 
with
 
the
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
on
 
25
 
May
 
2022
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
claims
 
by
 
TVO
 
that
Fingrid
 
has
 
neglected
 
its
 
obligation
 
to
 
develop
 
the
 
main
 
grid
 
as
 
stated
 
in
 
the
 
Finnish
 
Electricity
 
Market
 
Act
 
and/or
 
other
 
applicable
 
legislation,
 
and
that,
 
as
 
a
 
result,
 
it
 
has
 
placed
 
unlawful
 
restrictions
 
on
 
connecting
 
the
 
Olkiluoto
 
3
 
nuclear
 
power
 
plant
 
to
 
the
 
grid,
 
and
 
that
 
Fingrid
 
is
 
in
 
breach
 
of
 
its
administrative
 
obligations
 
linked
 
to
 
carrying
 
out
 
its
 
public
 
administrative
 
task.
 
Fingrid’s
 
view
 
is
 
that
 
the
 
claims
 
made
 
by
 
TVO
 
are
 
unfounded.
 
Fingrid
lodged
 
a
 
statement
 
of
 
defence
 
with
 
the
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
concerning
 
the
 
claims
 
made
 
by
 
TVO
 
in
 
its
 
request
 
for
 
an
 
investigation.
 
The
 
EU
 
Agency
 
for
 
the
 
Cooperation
 
of
 
Energy
 
Regulators
 
(ACER),
 
on
 
14
 
September
 
2022,
 
made
 
a
 
decision
 
on
 
long-term
 
price
 
risk
 
hedging
opportunities
 
between
 
Finland
 
and
 
Sweden.
 
In
 
its
 
decision,
 
ACER
 
required
 
the
 
Finnish
 
and
 
Swedish
 
TSOs
 
to
 
ensure
 
the
 
availability
 
of
 
other
 
long-
term
 
cross-zonal
 
hedging
 
products
 
and
 
develop
 
the
 
necessary
 
arrangements
 
for
 
providing
 
hedging
 
products.
 
Fingrid
 
filed
 
an
 
appeal
 
against
 
the
decision
 
to
 
ACER’s
 
Board
 
of
 
Appeal
 
on
 
14
 
November
 
2022.
 
The
 
Board
 
of
 
Appeal
 
issued
 
its
 
resolution
 
on
 
the
 
appeal
 
on
 
24
 
October
 
2023,
 
where
 
it
confirmed
 
ACER’s
 
original
 
decision.
 
Fingrid
 
submitted
 
to
 
the
 
Energy
 
Authority
 
on
 
22
 
December
 
2023
 
its
 
proposal
 
for
 
improving
 
the
 
price
 
risk
hedging
 
opportunities
 
between
 
Finland
 
and
 
Sweden.
Fingrid
 
received
 
an
 
expropriation
 
permit
 
for
 
the
 
widening
 
of
 
the
 
Torna
 
–Lautakari
 
right-of-way
 
for
 
the
 
neutral
 
line
 
on
 
27
 
October
 
2022.
 
In
 
the
 
kick-off
meeting
 
for
 
the
 
expropriation
 
procedure
 
on
 
1
 
December
 
2022,
 
the
 
expropriation
 
committee
 
decided
 
that
 
the
 
expropriating
 
party
 
is
 
obligated
 
to
assume
 
responsibility
 
for
 
the
 
tree
 
stands
 
within
 
the
 
scope
 
of
 
the
 
rights
 
and
 
restrictions
 
set
 
in
 
the
 
expropriation
 
permit,
 
unless
 
otherwise
 
agreed.
 
The
final
 
meeting
 
of
 
the
 
expropriation
 
procedure
 
was
 
held
 
on
 
16
 
November
 
2023.
 
Fingrid
 
has
 
appealed
 
the

It
 
is
 
Fingrid’s
 
task
 
to
 
develop
 
the
 
exchange
 
of
 
information
 
required
 
for
 
electricity
 
trade
 
and
 
imbalance
 
settlement
 
as
 
set
 
out
 
in
 
the
 
Electricity

Act.
 
Fingrid’s
 
information

services
 
are
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
electricity

environment.
 
In
 
order
 
to
 
develop
 
the
 
effective
and
 
accurate
 
exchange
 
of
 
information,
 
Fingrid
 
works
 
in
 
close
 
co-operation
 
with
 
e.g.
 
electricity
 
market
 
parties,
 
interest
 
groups,
 
service
 
providers,
supervisory
 
authorities,
 
legislators,
 
organisations
 
that
 
develop
 
national
 
and
 
international
 
communications
 
and
 
other
 
transmission
 
system
 
operators.
In
 
accordance
 
with
 
a
 
decision
 
by
 
the
 
Energy

must
 
separate
 
the

pertaining
 
to
 
the

of
 
information

by
 
virtue
 
of
 
Chapter
 
12
 
of
 
the

The
 
development
 
of

CONGESTION
 
INCOME
 
IN
 
GRID
 
OPERATIONS
The
 
congestion
 
income
 
received
 
by
 
a
 
grid
 
owner
 
must
 
be
 
used
 
for
 
the
 
purposes
 
stated
 
in
 
EU
 
Regulation
 
2019/943,
 
Article
 
19:
 
guaranteeing
 
the
actual
 
availability
 
of
 
the
 
allocated
 
capacity,
 
maintaining
 
or
 
increasing
 
interconnection
 
capacities
 
through
 
network
 
investments,
 
covering
 
the
 
costs
 
of
maintaining
 
said
 
capacity
 
and
 
recognising
 
congestion
 
income
 
in
 
the
 
company’s
 
turnover.
 
The
 
congestion
 
income
 
is
 
included
 
as
 
accruals
 
in
 
the
 
item
Other
 
liabilities
 
in
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet.
 
Of
 
accruals,
 
congestion
 
income
 
is
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
in
 
other
 
operating
 
income
 
in
 
compliance
with
 
the
 
accrual
 
of
 
costs
 
defined
 
in
 
regulation
 
and
 
in
 
turnover
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
that
 
congestion
 
income
 
can
 
be
 
directly
 
recognised
 
for
 
the
 
benefit
 
of
 
grid
customers.
 
Alternatively,
 
they
 
are
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
against
 
investments,
 
as
 
defined
 
by
 
regulation,
 
to
 
lower
 
the
 
acquisition
 
cost
 
of
property,
 
plant
 
and
 
equipment.
 
As
 
a
 
result,
 
this
 
lowers
 
the
 
depreciation
 
of
 
the
 
property,
 
plant
 
and
 
equipment
 
in
 
question.

9.1
 
Management’s
 
Responsibility
 
for
 
the
 
ESEF
 
Financial
 
Statements
 
The
 
Management
 
of
 
Fingrid
 
Oyj
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
preparing
 
the
 
ESEF
 
financial
 
statements
 
so
 
that
 
they
 
comply
 
with
 
the
 
requirements
 
as

Regulation
 
(EU)
 
2019/815
 
of

This
 
responsibility
 
includes
 
the
 
design,
implementation
 
and
 
maintenance
 
of
 
internal
 
control
 
relevant
 
to
 
the
 
preparation
 
of
 
ESEF
 
financial
 
statements
 
that
 
are
 
free
 
from
 
material
noncompliance
 
with
 
the
 
ESEF
 
requirements,
 
whether
 
due
 
to
 
fraud
 
or
 
error.
9.2
 
Our
 
Independence
 
and
 
Quality
 
Management
 
We
 
have
 
complied
 
with
 
the
 
independence
 
and
 
other
 
ethical
 
requirements
 
of
 
the
 
International
 
Code
 
of

issued
 
by
 
the

Our

applies
 
International
 
Standard
 
on
 
Quality

which
 
requires
 
the

and
 
applicable
 
legal
 
and

requirements.
9.3
 
Our
 
Responsibility
Our
 
responsibility
 
is
 
to
 
express
 
an
 
opinion
 
on
 
the
 
ESEF
 
financial
 
statements
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
procedures
 
we
 
have
 
performed
 
and
 
the
 
evidence
 
we
have
 
obtained.
 
We
 
conducted
 
our
 
reasonable
 
assurance
 
engagement
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
International
 
Standard
 
on

Other
 
than

or

.
 
That
 
standard
 
requires
 
that
 
we
 
plan
 
and
perform
 
this
 
engagement
 
to
 
obtain
 
reasonable
 
assurance
 
about
 
whether
 
the
 
ESEF
 
financial
 
statements
 
are
 
free
 
from
 
material
 
noncompliance
 
with
the
 
ESEF
 
requirements.
 
A
 
reasonable
 
assurance
 
engagement
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
ISAE
 
3000
 
(Revised)
 
involves
 
performing
 
procedures
 
to
 
obtain
 
evidence
 
about
 
the
 
ESEF
financial
 
statements
 
compliance
 
with
 
the
 
ESEF
 
requirements.
 
The
 
procedures
 
selected
 
depend
 
on
 
the
 
auditor’s
 
judgment,
 
including
 
the
 
assessment
of
 
the
 
risks
 
of
 
material
 
noncompliance
 
of
 
the
 
ESEF
 
financial
 
statements
 
with
 
the
 
ESEF
 
requirements,
 
whether
 
due
 
to
 
fraud
 
or
 
error.
 
In
 
making
 
those
risk
 
assessments,
 
we
 
considered
 
internal
 
control
 
relevant
 
to
 
the
 
Company’s
 
preparation
 
of
 
the
 
ESEF
 
financial
 
statements.
We
 
believe
 
that
 
the
 
evidence
 
we
 
have
 
obtained
 
is
