Marketplace for congestion management opens

A new marketplace will start on 30th of April 2025 as a result of a common development project between Fingrid and Helen Electricity Network. 

The Energy Authority officially confirmed the terms and conditions for the congestion management market for flexibility service providers on 11th of April 2025. Fingrid and Helen Electricity Network will open the market on 30th of April 2025. 

The development project for the congestion management market, also known as FinFlex – TSO-DSO congestion management market, is the first of its kind in Finland, where the congestion management needs of both the transmission and distribution networks are resolved through a common marketplace. The trading platform is operated by NODES, where trading of flexibility capacity and flexibility energy takes place. The flexibility products traded on the market are designed to enable the participation of flexible resources that do not meet the technical requirements of reserve markets. In the project, both the procuring network companies and flexibility providers will gain experience in operating in the new market. The maximum duration of the project is until December 2027. 

Fingrid and Helen Electricity Network will use the pilot congestion management market to address real congestion management challenges in the electricity network. Congestion management needs are likely to occur during the winter months, but it is also possible that there will be a need for congestion management throughout the year, for example, due to a planned outage  or an unforeseen fault. Flexibility needs will be informed on the market platform when they emerge. 

Flexibility service providers with flexible resources under their control in any location in Finland can participate in the market. Flexibility service providers are encouraged to join the NODES platform well in advance before the need for congestion management materializes. Before participating in the market, the flexibility service provider must sign a contract with NODES, through which the service provider commits to the market rules and the terms approved by the Energy Authority. NODES will organize sessions to provide guidance on using the marketplace and its interfaces.

More information about the congestion management market, instructions for participating in the market, and the terms and conditions for operating in the congestion management market can be found on Fingrid's website. If you are interested in participating in the congestion management market but need support and more information on how to get flexible resources into the market, do not hesitate to contact the experts, whose contact details are below.
