Eltel and Caruna have signed a frame agreement to improve the power distribution network in the south-western regions of Finland. Improvements in medium-voltage networks will be carried out over the next three years. The agreement extends until September 2018, and will continue earlier projects between the two companies. The agreement consists of several separate projects to replace overhead power lines with underground cables. Juha Luusua, president of power distribution, Eltel, said: “We are delighted to support Caruna’s massive investment program in Finland. Caruna, as the largest distribution operator in Finland, is an important and long-time customer of Eltel. Our cabling expertise, which has been developed in Finland, is also an excellent export product to the other northern European electricity markets." Ari Koponen, CEO of Caruna, said: “We see the investment in the electricity network, based on this frame agreement, as an important driver for complying with regulatory requirements within the given timeframe. The framework agreement is an essential part of our operations, while we maintain annual investments in our network.” Finnish frame agreement
