The Grid Manager ensures that every stage of a data center grid connection project proceeds in a controlled manner and stays on schedule. We bring together different areas and responsibilities, providing a clear overall process without overlaps or delays. Acting as the coordinator, the Grid Manager ensures that all phases, from design to commissioning, comply with the agreed contract documentation. As part of the service, we also provide general project management and reporting, offering transparency and confidence in the project’s progress. This allows you to focus on your strategic goals while we take care of the details and the technical requirements of the grid connection.
In data center projects, grid connection design is a critical step. We ensure that the connection solution is technically sound, compliant with all regulatory requirements, and aligned with the overall project schedule. This enables the data center to secure a reliable and cost-efficient connection to the electricity grid.
A successful grid connection requires compliance with the Grid Code Specifications for Demand Connections set by Fingrid. These specifications are based on European network codes and national requirements, ensuring grid reliability, security, and fair conditions for all operators.
We make sure that the data center’s electrical installation meets these specifications and that all necessary studies, tests, and documentation are delivered correctly. This includes verifying that the equipment can withstand voltage and frequency variations, does not cause disturbances to other grid users, and that both Fingrid and the grid operator receive all required technical information.
We take care of all notifications, approvals, and permit processes handled through Fingrid’s OmaFingrid system. This ensures smooth cooperation with Fingrid and that the project progresses in line with official requirements.
In data center projects, documentation quality and accuracy directly affect project execution. We review all technical and contractual documents related to the grid to ensure compliance with standards and requirements. This minimizes risks and ensures that construction proceeds on the correct basis.
