Gasum has appealed Finnish Market Court’s ruling on matter between Gasum and Finnish Energy Authority

Gasum has on 12 June 2026 filed an appeal with the Finnish Supreme Administrative Court regarding a ruling made by the Finnish Market Court on a matter between Gasum and the Finnish Energy Authority concerning unbundling obligations under the Natural Gas Market Act.

In 2020, the Energy Authority submitted to the Market Court that the court impose a penalty fee on Gasum for non-compliance with the unbundling provisions of the Finnish Natural Gas Market Act in conjunction with Gasum’s demerger.

In 2022 the Market Court reversed the decisions issued by the Energy Authority concerning Gasum’s financial statements. In addition, the Market Court dismissed the Energy Authority’s proposal concerning a penalty fee. The Energy Authority appealed the Market Court’s ruling to the Supreme Administrative Court.

In 2024, the Supreme Administrative Court reversed the Market Court’s decision and returned the penalty fee proposal to the Market Court for reconsideration. According to the decision given on 13 May 2026, the Market Court decided that Gasum is liable to pay a EUR 17 million penalty fee for non-compliance with the unbundling provisions of the Finnish Natural Gas Market Act.

Gasum does not accept the reasoning presented in the Market Court’s decision and has therefore appealed the matter to the Supreme Administrative Court.
