Finnish tech company Synergi has become the first Flexibility Service Provider (FSP) to join FinFlex, Finland’s first congestion management marketplace, hosted by NODES.
The marketplace, otherwise known as FinFlex, is the first of its kind in Finland, launched April 30, 2025. Synergi has become the first provider to join the marketplace, where it plans to trade the flexibility of its household virtual power plant (VPP) as needed.
FinFlex is a co-development project by Fingrid and Helen Electricity Network to establish a TSO-DSO congestion management market, meeting the flexibility needs of both transmission and distribution networks through a shared platform.
Currently, Synergi serves over 10,000 Finnish households via the Synergi app, with 38% of them owning an EV, 43% HVAC systems, and 19% solar systems. The company says they are ready to participate in grid-balancing efforts while being rewarded for their flexibility.

Commenting in a release was Harri Iisakka, chief operations officer at Synergi: “We’re building a future where households play a central role in energy flexibility.
“Becoming the first provider in Finland to join the NODES and FinFlex marketplace brings us one step closer to deploying Synergi’s virtual power plant (VPP) to help balance the Finnish electricity grid—and to reward the households on our platform for their contribution.”
Said Guro Grøtterud, director regulatory affairs and senior project manager at NODES: “NODES welcome Synergi Solutions as the first FSP in the FinFlex TSO-DSO Congestion Management Market.
“We are looking forward to [seeing] how the flexibility provided by Synergi and other FSPs can contribute to optimising grid operation and planning in Finland.”
As a first step, Synergi is preparing to launch a reward function for selected households.
The new feature will allow users to take advantage of Synergi’s optimisation and shift consumption to cheaper, grid-friendly hours – and receive rewards for it.
