Verification of non-discrimination

The electricity network business is a legally regulated, licenced business in the form of a natural monopoly. The network operator shall treat all users of the electricity network in an equal and non-discriminatory manner.

In order to meet this requirement, Oulun Energia Sähköverkko Oy has created a non-discrimination verification programme. The programme defines the measures by which the network operator assesses non-discrimination in its operations and ensures that its personnel and external service providers do not engage in discriminatory behaviour.

The non-discrimination verification programme is valid indefinitely. The implementation of the programme is evaluated in an annual report.
