Outdoor Power Supply in Finland 2025

According to preliminary data of Statistics Finland and Finnish Energy, total electricity consumption rose by three per cent in 2024 and amounted to 82.7 TWh. Fossil-free electricity, that is, nuclear, wind, hydro and solar power and renewable fuels covered 95 per cent of electricity production in 2024.

However, by 2030, the goal is for wind power to produce half of Finland's electricity, with solar power contributing 5–10 per cent. Power plants, transmission lines, substations and connections are now being built at a brisk pace. Over the next ten years, Fingrid will invest up to EUR 4 billion in the main grid.

Wind power overtook hydro power as the second biggest mode of electricity production in 2024. Nuclear power covered most of Finland's electricity demand, 38 per cent. Total electricity consumption rose by three per cent.

Most electricity is consumed in Southern Finland, while most new electricity production plants are built in Western, Central and Northern Finland. The energy transition also calls for flexibility and regulation of renewable and weather-dependent energy sources.

The energy transition is increasing the need for renewable forms of energy, as fossil fuels need to be replaced cost-effectively. The spotlight is now on wind and solar power, which still have plenty of growth potential. Wind power currently accounts for 20 per cent of Finland's electricity consumption, while solar power makes up just one per cent.

Finnish Energy produces statistics on electricity in support of supervision of interests. We are able to monitor in real time what goes on in electricity procurement with the aid of our statistics. Finnish Energy publishes monthly statistics predicting the procurement and use of electricity.
