Reported scope and milestone
Destia: On 29 April 2026 Destia announced three Fingrid projects: a new 110 kV substation at Harviala, a 400 kV air-insulated outdoor switchyard at Lähteenkylä, and a 110 kV expansion at Visulahti. Projects are scheduled for completion in 2028.
Engineering interpretation
Destia is the turnkey delivery contractor for Lähteenkylä, including substation design, site grading, the 400 kV outdoor switchyard and a control building with systems. The other two projects have separately stated scopes; this is not a claim that Destia supplies Fingrid’s entire grid.
Delivery responsibilities
An EPC reference defines a contracted combination of engineering, procurement and construction. Its boundaries still matter: field facilities, pipelines and utilities may be one package within a larger development. Construction affiliates and specialist subcontractors retain their stated roles. Quality records, pressure tests, pre-commissioning and handover need to match the actual facilities delivered. A historical project schedule does not become a publication date or establish today’s production. The reference documents the listed work rather than attributing all output, ownership or operation of the wider development to the contractor.
