Finland’s electricity system, right now
What Finland is generating, using and importing, read from Fingrid every three minutes, with the whole battery fleet’s charging and discharging drawn inside it. Fingrid publishes the fleet as one figure, because no unit list exists, so there is no battery by battery view here and the page says so.

The batteries, charging and discharging
Reading the fleet.
Reading the fleet.
The whole fleet’s discharging power above the line and its charging power below it, a value every three minutes for the last 24 hours, as Fingrid measures it. Fingrid counted 2,057 MW of batteries connected on 16 October 2026; the fleet rarely moves more than a fraction of that at once, because most of it is standing ready in the reserve markets rather than trading energy.
The last 24 hours
Reading the day.
Nuclear, hydro, wind, combined heat and power and the rest of Finland’s generation, stacked, with net imports beneath them and consumption drawn over the top, every three minutes. Solar is not in Fingrid’s real-time feed, which publishes it only as a forecast, so on a sunny afternoon the gap between the stack and the consumption line is partly solar.
Frequency
Reading the frequency.
Fingrid’s real-time frequency, every three minutes over the last hour. The target is 50.00 Hz and the band is a tenth either side. Finland is part of the Nordic synchronous area with Sweden, Norway and eastern Denmark, so this is the whole area’s frequency.
The cables
Reading the interconnectors.
Flow on each link this minute, imports to the right and exports to the left, in megawatts: the two links to Sweden, the link to Estonia and the link to Norway in the far north. The link to Russia has carried nothing since May 2022.
FCR-N today and tomorrow, the thing a Finnish battery watches
Reading the price.
Reading the price.
The hourly price Fingrid pays for one megawatt of FCR-N, its steadiest reserve product and the one that paid Finnish batteries the most over the last year. Tomorrow’s hours appear once Fingrid has run the auction, in the afternoon. What a megawatt was paid, month by month.
