Finland Cuts Electricity Imports From Russia

Electricity imports from Russia to Finland will be limited, Fingrid, the transmission line operator, said. It is reported by European Pravda with reference to Yle.

Thus, it is reported that the throughput will be reduced from the current 1,300 to 900 megawatts next Sunday, April 24.
