Tieto and NSC reach major milestone: Complete coverage of all Finnish electricity and flexibility markets
Energy & Utilities, Tieto Indtech, and NSC EnergyOpti reached a significant milestone in their strategic collaboration. NSC has successfully achieved full market coverage across all major electricity and flexibility markets in Finland in 2025. This achievement is further strengthened by Tieto’s comprehensive Energy Management platform, which provides a true end‑to‑end approach for energy market participants.
Through the achievement, NSC positions itself as one of the few balance service providers capable of supporting end‑to‑end participation across the entire Finnish reserve market, enabled by Tieto’s Energy Management solution.
“After a thorough European level scanning of potential partners that meets NSC EnergyOpti’s requirements for the multi-market optimization and trading, Tieto was chosen as a strategic partner for us. Our professionals have more than a century of experience, combined, in the energy markets, and thus the right strategic partner decision was crucial, and requirements were set extremely high. We have been pleased with the expertise and hands-on attitude with Tieto to co-develop a market leading solution into our service portfolio for us to be able to serve all our clients the most effective way in the energy markets,” says Jarkko Avikainen, CEO, NSC EnergyOpti Oy.
NSC EnergyOpti’s service now enables seamless operation, optimization, and trading across the full spectrum of Finnish electricity and reserve markets — including day‑ahead, intraday, balancing, and all key Fingrid-operated reserve and flexibility services.
“The Energy Management solution supports everything from asset‑level aggregation and virtual power plant (VPP) control to market execution, ensuring utilities, aggregators, and traders to operate efficiently across all markets,” explains Niko Jauhiainen, Head of Asset and Data Solutions, Energy & Utilities at Tieto Indtech.
Together, Tieto and NSC EnergyOpti continue to advance digital solutions that support the energy transition, enable flexible asset participation, and enhance operational performance for market actors navigating Finland’s evolving electricity and reserve markets.
