What happens to decommissioned electricity poles?
The recycling and life cycle of old electricity poles are closely monitored at Caruna, as they contain hazardous impregnations. What happens to the old poles? Who can use the poles? And can they even be used to build a garden bed?
Safe felling of trees on your own plot near power lines
Are you planning to cut down yard or roadside trees? Trees growing next to power lines should never be felled on their own. First, contact a logger who will assess the need for tree felling assistance.
Electricity for all, regardless of the conditions
The cold frosty days of winter have increased the load on the electricity distribution network and caused problems, especially abroad. Even in Finland, our society's operational capacity is dependent on the functioning of the electricity network. Electricity is needed more than ever as our society becomes electrified. Is there enough capacity, and what is security of supply? Can Texas happen with us?
Electricity solutions for specific needs: Cultivation with grow lighting in greenhouses uses a lot of electricity for the needs of growing
In Finland, the growing season is naturally short, but by using grow lighting, Finnish crops can be produced year round. Lighting that provides strength to growth is the biggest electricity user in a greenhouse, and annual usage can easily reach tens of thousands of megawatt hours. Electricity for the Juntti market garden will soon be delivered via their own Caruna primary substation
Happy coincidences and Finnish mettle – the first single-family house with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel is an energy efficient dream home

Do you use exchange electricity? Reduce your bill with electrical load control

Weather-proof development ensures our customers daily lives run smoothly
Storm Mauri in 1982 has stayed in my mind: I was outdoors walking with a friend of mine when suddenly huge trees started falling down around us. The situation was frightening and it felt like the wind would take us with it. After Mauri, there have been many other storms, and in my work, I am still vigilant when storms strike. Do customers get help quickly in fault situations and how well are we able to meet customer expectations in a crisis?
