40 hectares solar park to be built in Hanko - Better Energy agrees grid connection with Finnish DSO, Caruna
Renewable energy company, Better Energy and Finnish distribution system operator (DSO), Caruna, signed an agreement to connect a solar park in Hanko to the Finnish grid. The expected capacity of Better Energy’s Solar Park is approximately 35 MWp.

Caruna's area reached 300 megawatts of solar power - the production capacity has quadrupled in three years
In August, the 300-megawatt milestone in solar power production in Caruna's distribution area was broken. In Caruna's distribution area, the amount of solar power has quadrupled in three years. Most solar power is produced in Espoo, Salo and Lohja.
Caruna Oy’s and Caruna Espoo Oy’s electricity distribution prices will change starting from 1 September 2024
The Energy Authority supervises the pricing of electricity distribution companies in four-year periods. If a company has a surplus at the end of the period, the surplus is credited to its customers during the next period. The opposite is true if the company is in deficit. Prices will change in Caruna’s two network companies starting 1 September 2024. The prices of both companies take into account the increase in value added tax to 25.5% from 1 September 2024.
Caruna reduces the price of electricity distribution in Caruna Espoo Oy’s network area
Customer prices will decrease by an average of 2.5 per cent as of 1 November 2021. The average impact on prices excluding tax will be 5 per cent. The price reduction will apply to approximately 226,000 customers in Caruna Espoo Oy’s network area (Espoo, Kauniainen, Kirkkonummi and the centre of Joensuu).
Caruna ready to net small-scale production
The new amendment to the Government Decree allows hourly netting of small-scale production and consumption. This means that Caruna will automatically compensate for production that is not used in a one-hour period in the small-scale producer's distribution invoice.
A carbon-neutral future is the common goal of Espoo and Caruna – cooperation agreement signed
The City of Espoo and electricity distribution company Caruna Espoo Oy signed an agreement on strategic cooperation on March 31, 2021. The aim of the cooperation is to support Espoo's growth and carbon-neutrality targets with a strong electricity network that meets future energy needs, enabling clean energy solutions for Espoo residents and companies.
Caruna develops its electricity network and improves the reliability of approximately 1,500 customers' electricity distribution in Espoo and Kirkkonummi
Electricity distributor Caruna continues renewing its electricity network and improving reliability of supply. The focus is now in Suvisaaristo, Espoo and the coastal area of Kirkkonummi. The project will be implemented with N3M Power Oy Ab.
New energy for housing companies: shared solar panels reduce electricity invoices for housing companies and residents
In the future, housing companies will be able to deploy shared solar panels even more easily. At the turn of the year, electricity distribution company Caruna will introduce the Solar community service to housing companies located in its network areas, which will enable housing companies and residents to reduce their electricity invoices. Shared solar panels also save the environment.
