Fingrid to require grid-forming capability from new wind and solar plants
Original: Fingrid will require new wind and solar plants in Finland’s weakest grid areas to provide grid-forming capability, which
Fingrid, Finland's transmission system operator, will require new wind and solar plants in the country's weakest grid areas to provide grid-forming capability, a function that helps stabilise the power system. Developers can meet the requirement by installing co-located batteries sized at up to 30% of a plant's output. The move is being watched closely by the renewable energy industry as a potential template for grid rules elsewhere in Europe.
Why now: Grid operators across Europe are grappling with integrating large volumes of inverter-based renewables, so Finland's concrete requirement is a notable precedent.
