This paper focuses on the evolution of the Finnish power grid until 2035 and the role of mobile communications networks in this evolution. It outlines alternative futures (i.e. scenarios) and identifies the role of mobile communications networks in these scenarios. The paper uses an established scenario planning process and a group of experts to determine three scenarios for the evolution of services offered to customers in a future electricity system and four scenarios describing the evolution of grid management. Finally, the role of mobile communications (cellular networks) is analyzed in each of the scenarios. Results show that mobile networks can serve as a key enabler in those scenarios where smart grid evolution would be the most transformative.

本文重点介绍到 2035 年芬兰电网的演变以及移动通信网络在这一演变中的作用。它概述了替代未来（即情景）并确定了移动通信网络在这些情景中的作用。本文使用既定的情景规划流程和一组专家来确定未来电力系统中向客户提供的服务演变的三个情景和描述电网管理演变的四个情景。最后，分析了每个场景中移动通信（蜂窝网络）的作用。结果表明，在智能电网发展最具变革性的场景中，移动网络可以作为关键推动因素。
