Asta Sihvonen-Punkka, President and CEO of Fingrid Oyj, discussed the company's strategy work in a July 2025 video. She stated that the energy transition prompted a need to update Fingrid's strategy, which she described as outwardly good but requiring revision. Sihvonen-Punkka said the new strategy process involved broader participation from staff and external stakeholders, including customers, and utilized virtual tools such as Miro boards and Teams to facilitate workshops. She characterized the process as fast and smooth, and described the resulting strategy as "excellent." In a 2018 presentation at Fingrid Current, Sihvonen-Punkka addressed the challenges posed by the energy transition to the power system, particularly the increasing need for balancing. She stated that Fingrid advocates for a decentralized system where market actors play a larger role in balancing, with the transmission system operator (TSO) acting as a last resort. She also mentioned considering the establishment of a multilateral flexibility market platform that could operate on national and international levels, packaging diverse flexibility resources according to buyer needs.
“Meillä on tää iso energiamurros menillään. Meillä oli ihan noin niinku päällepäin katsoen hyvä strategia, mutta se vaati ajantasaistamista ja näin päätettiin sitten lähteä liikkeelle uuden strategiatyön kanssa.”
“In Fingrid we think that the market actors must have a bigger role in balancing. We want to go towards the decentralized system and we want to have the TSO as the last resort but as much as the market actors market operators can do for balancing we think that's the best solution.”
“The idea that we have been considering is whether or not it would be good to establish multilateral flexibility market a platform that could operate on a national international level... a solution in which very different flexibility resources could be packaged according to needs of the buyer.”
