Fingrid’s Isohaara–Taivalkoski page is a 2026 general-design year, not reserved Keminmaa hall power

Fingrid’s Isohaara–Taivalkoski page writes that general design of an about-18-kilometre 110 kV renewal started in spring 2026, with field work in 2026 and a construction finish during 2028. A design year is not reserved offtake.

Fingrid’s Isohaara–Taivalkoski project page is the dated design-year source used here. It writes a renewal of the 110 kV line in Keminmaa, between the Isohaara and Taivalkoski substations. The printed length is about 18 kilometres. The present wooden-portal line is written as built in the 1970s and as needing a condition-based renewal. An 18-kilometre 110 kV renewal is not reserved hall offtake.

The purpose sentence must stay a purpose sentence. The page writes the renewal as maintaining transmission-system reliability in the Keminmaa area and as increasing transfer capacity so that generation projects can connect better to the main grid. Generation-connection language is not a named hall. About 1.5 kilometres at the Isohaara-substation end is written as sitting outside the project scope.

The design sentence must stay a design sentence. The line is written as being renewed in place, with the corridor narrowing by about 2–13 metres, in steel portal towers of a similar height. An environmental study is written as 2023. General design is written as 2026–2027 and as having started in spring 2026, with Omexom (TLT-Building) responsible. Field work — marking new pole sites, measurements and ground investigations — is written as planned during 2026. Construction is written as estimated to finish during 2028. A 2028 finish estimate is not a live Keminmaa hall.

Related grid notes stay on their own pages. Fingrid’s Petäjäskoski–Herva and Herva–Nuojuankangas rows are different dates and different stretches. This article does not import a reserved hall offtake into a 2026 Isohaara–Taivalkoski design year.

DataCenterSweden records spring 2026 as a Fingrid general-design start for Isohaara–Taivalkoski. No project identifier is attached. The next update would need a later primary source that names the 2026 field work as finished, construction under way toward 2028, or a reserved consumption agreement beside the 18 kilometres. Until then, the 2026 year stays a 110 kV renewal paper — not reserved Keminmaa hall capacity.

Why it matters

An 18-kilometre Lapland 110 kV headline is easy to file as spare hall power. The page is usable only if the 2026 design year stays a design year — not a reservation.

What remains unknown

The page does not finish the 2026 field work, start the 2028-window construction or name a reserved hall offtake beside Isohaara–Taivalkoski.
