Small and big energy actions – Caruna as a company
Caruna Group includes two network companies: Caruna Oy, which operates mainly in rural areas, and Caruna Espoo Oy, which operates in urban areas.
Caruna in brief
We take care of electricity distribution and maintain, overhaul and build a weatherproof electricity network for approximately our 714,000 customers in South, Southwest and West Finland, the city of Joensuu, and the regions of Koillismaa and Satakunta.
We monitor the operation of the network around the clock to ensure we can provide our customers with safe and functional electricity distribution, hassle-free customer service, and reasonable prices.
A weatherproof, smart electricity network also creates the basis for an energy system of the future, in which digital services increase, transport is electrified, and consumers become energy producers.
