Sustainability

EPV Alueverkko is replacing 50 creosote-treated pole bases on transmission lines in the South Ostrobothnia region as part of EPV Energy’s biodiversity action programme. The new poles, treated with copper oil and salt preservatives, help minimise harmful effects on the local environment.

The observation site located on EPV Alueverkko’s transmission line in Liutula, Ylistaro, is the first of its kind in Finland in terms of scale. Established by the Finnish Forest Centre, the site provides valuable insights into how power line corridors can be utilized to support biodiversity and ecosystem vitality.
