The power line will replace an outdated version and will stretch from Kauppila to Joroinen in the region.

Fingrid project manager Tommi Olsson said: “In order to secure future power transmission capability, Fingrid will replace several power lines.

“This project also includes a section of approximately 15km to connect the Niinimäki wind farm to the grid.”

The old power line will be demolished and the old wooden power line columns will be replaced with steel columns. The electricity line to be replaced is roughly 57km long.
