Overview

Finland’s energy and climate strategy prioritises carbon neutrality by 2035, with ambitious renewables expansion, nuclear reliance, and coal phase-out, supported by market liberalisation, cross-border energy trade, and innovative low-carbon solutions.

Highlights

  • Finland aims to reach 62% of renewables in final energy consumption in 2030 and to reduce GHG emissions by 60% (compared to 1990). The country also intends to become carbon-neutral by 2035.
  • Fortum is the main power generator with around 20% of the country's total capacity (2024). Neste Oil is the largest oil company with a strong position in the biofuels sector.
  • Wind power capacity has more than tripled between 2020 and 2024. The share of nuclear in the power mix increased by 7 points in 2023 to 42%, following the commissioning of Olkiluoto-3.
  • Final consumption was stable in 2024 after a decreased by 6%/year since 2021. Electricity has a share of 29%.
  • Paper industry accounts for 50% of industry consumption.
  • Electricity prices are 50 to 60% lower than the EU average.
  • Around 174 GW of solar projects are planned.
  • A total of EUR5.2bn will be invested between 2026 and 2035 to boost the power transmission grid and interconnections.

  • Energy & Climate Policy Framework

    The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment is responsible for the country's energy policy, through its Department of Energy. More specifically, the department is in charge of energy markets, energy efficiency, emissions trading, renewables, and nuclear energy and fuels. It also coordinates the preparation and implementation of climate policy.

  • Energy Companies

    Electricity:

    Fortum (51% state-owned) is the main power generator, with a capacity of 4.7 GW in Finland (of which 1.9 GW of nuclear, 1.6 GW of hydropower, and 0.4 GW of wind) in 2025. In December 2025, the group acquired ABO Energy's 4.4 GW portfolio of onshore wind projects (at various development phases) in Finland.

  • Energy Supply & Demand

    Oil:

    Crude oil supplies are primarily ensured by imports, with 88% of the consumption coming from the imports in 2024. Such as the oil consumption levels, imports of crude oil declined by 12% in 2024 to 9.2 Mt, after an 11%/year increase over 2021-2023. In 2023, Finland stopped importing oil from Russia, a country on which it used to be primarily dependent (64% of imports in 2021).

  • Energy Use and Price by Sector

    Energy Prices in Industry:

    In 2025, industrial electricity prices decreased by 4%, following a 13%/year decline in 2023-2024, after a 52% surge in 2022. They increased by 2.2%/year over 2017-2021. Electricity prices are significantly lower than the EU average, by 55% in 2024.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Gas:

    The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment expects gas consumption to remain stable between 2021 and 2030 at around 5.2 bcm.
