“In 2023, consumers will have the opportunity to form energy communities. They are in-house, voluntary consortia that, for example, produce renewable energy together and want to use the energy produced for the benefit of community members. Energy companies thus increase customers' options for producing and consuming energy produced in different ways,” says Pasi Aho, Director of Fingrid Datahub Oy.
