The Finnish CIGRE National Committee

Our aim

CIGRE (Conseil International des Grands Réseaux Electriques) is a permanent non-governmental and non profit-making International Association based in France. It was founded in 1921 and aims to:

  • Facilitate and develop the exchange of engineering knowledge and information, between engineering personnel and technical specialists in all countries as regards generation and high voltage transmission of electricity.

  • Add value to the knowledge and information exchanged by synthesizing state-of-the-art and world practices.

  • Make managers, decision-makers and regulators aware of the synthesis of CIGRE's work, in the area of electric power.

More specifically, issues related to the planning and operation of power systems, as well as the design, construction, maintenance and disposal of HV equipment and plants are at the core of CIGRE's mission. Problems related to protection of electrical systems, to telecontrol and telecommunication equipment, are also part of CIGRE's area of concern.

Since 2002, CIGRE's range of study includes distribution systems (especially in rural areas), dispersed generation, environmental issues and issues relating to regulation and electricity markets.

CIGRE's goal is to be recognised as the leading worldwide organization on electric power systems, covering their technical, economic, environmental, organisational and regulatory aspects. The CIGRE head office and staff in charge of day-to-day administrative affairs is located in Paris. CIGRE currently has members in over 80 different countries.
