Electricity security law likely to miss planned start date

A law intended to secure adequate electricity supplies may be delayed after its proposal failed to reach Parliament by the deadline, Yle reported. The government still aims to pass it during the current parliamentary term.

The revised goal is to submit the quickly prepared draft to Parliament in the first week of December.

The law was scheduled to take effect at the beginning of the year, but the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment expects its start date to be postponed.

The rules are intended to make efficient use of electricity grid capacity while ensuring connection capacity for customers, including households.
