Moscow: Russia has announced a power cut in Finland. Finland’s electricity will be suspended due to difficulties in payments.
According to foreign media reports, the Finnish grid company in this regard says that Russian RAO Utility Inter will stop exporting electricity to Finland from today.
Russia says it is forced to cut off electricity supplies starting today.
Russia is unable to pay for electricity imported from Russia, according to the Finnish-based RAO subsidiary.
Fingard’s vice-president, Rima Poinen, said there was no threat to Finland’s abundant electricity supply, adding that Russia’s electricity consumption was only 10% of Finland’s total consumption.
He said the low supply could be offset by rising imports from Sweden as well as partly domestic production.
There are reports that Russia could cut off natural gas supplies to Finland due to its accession to NATO.
