Fingrid to End Fibre Backbone Service to Russia by 2027
Fingrid will cease maintenance of electricity transmission towers linking Finland and Russia by 2027 due to economic factors. This decision follows the cessation of Russian electricity imports to Finland, rendering the cross-border power supply lines unfeasible.

Fingrid will stop servicing electricity transmission infrastructure that connects Finland and Russia by 2027. The decision is a direct consequence of the halted import of Russian electricity to Finland in 2022, which has made the operation of these lines economically unviable.
The fibre-optic backbone, which utilizes the same poles as the power lines, will be affected by this cessation. This move could impact telecommunications and energy sectors in both countries, potentially leading to increased operational costs and reduced service reliability.
