Efficient energy system and clean technology go hand in hand Balanced use of several energy sources in electricity production in Finland 2006 Source: Finnish Energy Industries

Efficient energy system and clean technology go hand in hand Finland’s energy needs are high due to the country’s energy intensive industry, cold climate and long distances. Finland’s own energy resources – hydropower, wood and peat – are scarce. About 70 % of the energy is imported. Finland strengthened its position by becoming part of the larger Nordic electricity market and enhancing energy linkages (IEA 2007). Country ensures energy security by relying on transparency and sound market signals to investors and customers, as well as by making good use of domestic sources of biomass and nuclear (IEA 2007).

Efficient energy system and clean technology go hand in hand

Deregulation of the energy markets in the late 1990s boosted competition and offered Finnish companies advantages in development of new services and products to global markets. Efficient logistic chain, innovations in processing techniques (pulp and paper or metal industry), consulting services in energy saving measures, etc.
