Fast Frequency Reserve (FFR)
The operation of the power system follows a dimensioning principle according to which the loss of a single electricity production unit or a HVDC link must not cause the frequency to fall below 49.0 Hz. The magnitude of the transient frequency change following a disturbance depends on the magnitude of the power change caused by the disturbance
The power system needs more reserves
Previously, reserve power was mainly generated by power plants, but nowadays, it is increasingly provided by large factories and battery installations. The use of reserves and the need for new types of reserves are increasing substantially due to the energy revolution, Nordic balance management requirements, and the commissioning of the

The electricity system is expanding and becoming more
The shift in the electricity system increases the need for power system reserves and solutions that ensure the smooth management of changes and disturbances in the grid. In real terms, main grid tariffs have fallen. Previously, the fees were raised two per cent in 2022, while in 2019 Fingrid reduced its grid service fees by eight per cent.
The power system is expanding, driven by wind and solar power
"Power plants with side-by-side solar and wind power production are currently under development. These plants can share one grid connection. In the future, hybrid power plants could also include grid energy storage in the form of a battery, further raising the utilisation rate of the connection," says Risto Kuusi, Senior Expert at Fingrid.
