What was the most memorable moment of your internship?
Kaarel, energy system controller
Meeting with the current manager, who introduced me to the work of the control centre and the responsibility for the entire Estonian electricity supply. I was fascinated by the work being done and the interesting stories that made me want to be a part of this team.
Kristiina, junior power system analyst
The most memorable part was the visit to Estlink 2 during its repairs, where we saw theory in practice. We also visited the substations and equipment there, which we were able to examine up close that day.
