Improved Power Supply for Tervola, Finland

With the transition towards climate neutrality by 2050, the EU's updated 2030 climate targets are aiming to ensure that every European Citizen has reliable access to clean energy. With undertakings to further augment the production of green energy, safe and reliable electricity supply plays an increasingly important role in the grand energy transition. Municipalities and energy suppliers attach great importance to creating long-lasting infrastructure, to ensure their citizens and clients reliably and sustainably receive power. To provide lasting and uninterrupted electricity supply for its suburban residents, Finnish village Tervola initiated an electricity supply improvement project for which Pipelife supplied especially durable cable protection.

Due to the increased energy needs of the residents in Tervola, Finland, the electricity network maintenance and transmission service Tenergia Oy designed and implemented a project to improve the village’s electric power lines. The project was complex due to a crossing of the Kemijoki River: For this section, the new power line was to be built above-ground and attached to the Kemijoki bridge. To get the job done, Tenergia Oy opted for Pipelife Finland’s extremely sturdy cable protection pipe.  

"The power line was built over the bridge to serve the entire village of Tervola. This way it allows us to improve the connection to both sides of the river," says project manager Tapio Pesonen from Tenergia Oy.

To ensure a lasting electricity supply for the residents of Tervola, the company selected Pipelife Finland’s so-called Rocky cable protection pipe that is perfectly suitable for bridge installations.

The pipes, made of PE (polyethylene), ensure a long service life despite harsh weather conditions and are easy to install. Specifically, ROCKY SRE SN64 cable conduit was used due to its suitability for above-ground installations.
