Browse the tabs below for a detailed table of contents, the list of graphs and tables, and details on the data files.

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 is the main power generator with 22% of the country's total capacity (4 GW).
  • Gasum has lost its monopoly on the gas market.
  • Neste Oil is the largest oil company with a strong position in the biofuels sector.
  • Almost 90% of the power mix is CO2-free.
  • The long delayed Olkiluoto-3 nuclear reactor started commercial production in April 2023.
  • Prior to the war in Ukraine, the country was highly dependent on Russia for its oil and gas supply.
  • Electricity prices are much lower than the EU average.
  • Total energy consumption rebounded by 5% in 2021, back to its 2019 level.
  • Biomass has a growing share of the energy mix (+10 points since 2010 to 33%).
  • Pulp and paper accounts for around 1/4 of final consumption and over 50% of industry consumption.
  • Nearly 4 GW of wind projects are currently under construction.
  • A total of €1.4bn will be invested between 2019 and 2030 to reinforce the power transmission grid.

  • 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 2020 and in 2021). In 2021, Russia supplied 98% of these imports (and 100% of Finland's gas imports by pipeline), a figure that includes gas that transited through Estonia (23% of the total).

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    Motor fuel prices are close to the EU averages and follow global oil prices. Gasoline and diesel prices soaring by around 30% and 40% respectively in 2022, after a 20% increase in 2021. They had remained relatively stable between 2017 and 2020.

  • Energy Consumption

    Total energy consumption per capita is twice as high as the EU average, at 6 toe in 2021, including over 15 000 kWh of electricity (2.6-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 Economic Affairs and Employment expects gas consumption to remain stable between 2021 and 2030 at around 5.2 bcm.
