FINLAND - Finland's transmission system operator Fingrid has signed a contract with the Slovenia-based manufacturer KOLEKTOR ETRA for the supply of two 400 MVA 400/120 kV power transformers.

The power transformers will be delivered to Fingrid's substations in Pyhäselkä and Petäjävesi, which are being upgraded as part of the improvements to the electricity transmission connection between the south and north of Finland, Fingrid said in the press release.

The new Pyhäselkä substation will also help integrate wind power into the grid.

The signed contract also allows for the delivery of five optional power transformers in 2020-2023 that will provide for several pending wind power projects across Finland.
