Fixing old transformers, initiative

Initiative done  Initiative type Council initiatives Initiative author Anu Åberg Initiative status Processed

The Tuusula Council’s Centre Party, Swedish People’s Party, Christian Democrats and TuPu council groups propose that the area’s old substations be renovated to a presentable standard.

There are 11 pagoda-roofed substations in the municipality of Tuusula. These small, white brick buildings have adorned the Tuusula landscape since the 1930s. The substation design is unique and cannot be found anywhere else in Finland. The substations were designed by Lauri Lindberg, director of the Tuusula Region Electricity Board. Author Kaisa Luukkonen has also written a book entitled “Tuusulan Vanhat muuntamot” (The Old Substations of Tuusula). The old substations are part of Tuusula’s cultural history and are located in prominent places along the roads.

There are old transformers in the centre of every larger village. They are important to local residents, as evidenced by the fact that OSB has made proposals to renovate the transformers on several occasions over the years. We hope that the transformers will not be allowed to fall into disrepair and will continue to delight us with their beauty in the future.
