Electricity transmission price

First, news about the price of electricity.

The price of electricity transmission could rise significantly, experts say.

The transmission price threatens to rise, especially in areas where there is a lot of electricity grid capacity but few customers.

Customers have to pay more because the law requires electricity companies to improve the electricity grid.

For example, electricity companies have to bury power lines underground so that a storm doesn’t cut off power.

The price of electricity transmission threatens to increase significantly in North Karelia, for example.

Electricity company PKS Sähkönisiorto says that customer fees may need to be increased by more than 80 percent in order to get the electricity lines underground on time.

Homeschooling

Now we’re talking about homeschooling.

The Minister of Education wants to tighten supervision of home schools.

Minister of Education Anders Adlercreutz says that in the future, homeschooling may require permission from the authorities.

Teaching can also be interrupted if, for example, the student is not learning enough.

The Minister of Education wants to tighten supervision of home schools.

Nowadays, homeschooling does not require a permit. It is sufficient for the guardian to notify the municipality of the homeschooling.

Approximately 1,000 children in Finland receive home education. Home schools are already available in every third municipality.

Winter tires

Now for the motorists.

I need to change winter tires on my car soon.

A lot of tires have already been replaced in Northern Finland.

In southern Finland, tire shops are expecting a rush this week and next week.

I need to change winter tires on my car soon.

On Wednesday, the sun will shine in much of the country.

It is cloudy in Lapland.

The temperature is between 5 and 10 degrees in the south, below 5 degrees in the north.
