Highlights
- Finland aims to reach over 50% of renewables in final energy consumption in 2030 and to phase out coal-fired generation by 2029. The country also intends to become carbon-neutral by 2035.
- Fortum completed the acquisition of German energy group Uniper.
- Gasum has lost its monopoly on the gas market.
- Neste Oil is the largest oil company with a strong position in the biofuels sector.
- Around 62% of the power mix is CO2-free.
- The country is highly dependent on Russia for its oil and gas supply.
- Electricity prices are much lower than the EU average.
- Pulp and paper accounts for around 1/4 of final consumption and over 50% of industry consumption.
- Total energy consumption has remained stable since 2013. Biomass contributes to 30% of the energy mix.
- The commissioning of 1.6 GW Olkiluoto-3 EPR has been delayed to March 2022.
- More than 1.8 GW of wind projects is under construction.
- A total of €1.4bn will be invested between 2019 and 2030 to reinforce the power transmission grid.

Abstract
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, 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 Supply
Gas:
Gas imports are relatively stable since 2015, hovering around 2.5 bcm (2.6 bcm in 2019). Russia supplied 100% of Finland's gas imports by pipeline. LNG, which accounts for less than 4% of gas imports, is also mostly provided by Russia (71%), followed by Norway (29%).
Energy Prices
Gas:
The price of natural gas is significantly lower than the EU average for households (-47%) and significantly higher for industry (+26%) (2019).

Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption per capita is twice as high as the EU average, at 6.2 toe in 2019, including around 15 000 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 remain stable between 2021 and 2030 at around 5.2 bcm.
