Finland energy report

• Institutions & Energy Policy

  The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment is responsible for the country's energy policy, through its Department of Energy. More specifically, it 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 Supply

  Oil:

  Oil supplies are primarily ensured by imports, particularly crude oil (more than 80%). In 2018, 81% of crude oil came from Russia and 15% from Norway. Finland is a net exporter of oil products (4.1 Mt in 2018, compared to 4 Mt in 2017), mainly to the European Union.

• Energy Prices

  Electricity:

  Electricity prices for industry increased by 3% in 2018, after a 2%/year decline over 2011-2017. Since 2015, electricity prices for households increased by 3.5%/year.

  Taxes account for 33% of residential prices (11% for industry) and excise taxes on electricity are much higher than the EU minimum (€22.53/MWh and €1/MWh, respectively).

• Energy Consumption

  Total energy consumption per capita is twice as high as the EU average, at 6.2 toe in 2018, including around 15 300 kWh of electricity (2.7-fold higher than the EU average). The gap is due to a high share of pulp and paper industry activity.

• Issues & Prospects

  Gas:

  The Ministry of Employment and Economy expects gas consumption to increase from about 4.7 bcm in 2010 to 5.2 bcm in 2020 and to remain stable thereafter until 2030.

In the Finland energy market report you will find the following tables:

• Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO₂ emissions.
• Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source
• Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
• Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.
• Infrastructure Projects: Covers power plant projects by energy, technology, status and operator, gas plant projects by status and operator and LNG contracts.

The Finland energy market data since 1990 and up to 2018 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Finland country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

• Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO₂ emissions.
• Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
• Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
• Energy Balance: total and per energy.
• Finland Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Finland energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO₂ emissions (from fuel combustion).
