Yeah... It's only 10% I wrote that on my OP as well But 10% can actually be a lot if you have a tight power grid. Certain inelastic comodities swing in price a lot with even a tiny shortage or oversupply from balance and it is always a problem But seems like Finland has options to offset this 10% so that's good 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sweden might help them out or import gas from Norway.

Benji 16,459 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) Russia is about to become so irrelevant if Europe manages to successfully phase out its reliance on Russian gas and electricity The attack on Ukraine has been the ultimate backfire in recent Russian history.
