The electricity network company Caruna has announced major hikes to electricity transfer fees and Finland’s consumer authorities are now seriously contemplating a class action against Caruna if they cannot agree on a solution in negotiations with the company.

Caruna justifies the move by investments in the electricity network, and because of the monopoly position, customers cannot change the service provider.
