But you're not giving the electricity away for free or even a low price. As far as I know there's no EU regulations that prevents Finland from redistributing these profits to the population in such a way that it makes the effective price of electricity close to what it would be if it wasn't exported. Or to use some of the money to build more cheap production capacity and increase your advantage in the long term.

But you cannot give it to companies, as that would be illegal subsidies. Thus, our economy will tank even if the households are compensated.
