Abstract
Several major disturbances in the supply of electricity
have taken place in Finland during the last decades
causing significant problems in different operations of
the modern society. Consequently, many measures have been
taken in order to improve the preparedness of the society
against these kinds of events. Tightening of the economic
regulation of distribution system operators (DSOs) and
changes to electricity market legislation are changing
the operating environment of DSOs. In order to be
sufficiently prepared against prospective major
disturbances, in addition to network investments, DSOs
need to develop their communication and cooperation with
other actors, inform their customers better and take
societally critical customers into account in their
plans. Thus, the whole process will be much more
complicated and just optimizing the total costs will not
be enough in the future.
