Finland Electricity Industry Profile Report 2018: Whether to Pursue a New Nuclear Reactor will be the Defining Decision for Finland’s Energy Future – ResearchAndMarkets.com

February 19, 2018

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Electricity
Industry Profiles-Finland" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

Finland is a net importer of electricity. Most of its imports originate
from Russia, but it plans to build additional nuclear power plants to
decrease this dependency. The share of nuclear power in electricity
generation will increase when the new Olkiluoto 3 EPR nuclear power
plant becomes operational in 2018 (assuming there are no final delays).

In 2015, almost 80% of the electricity generated in Finland was
emission-free. Research projects that by 2030, approximately 92% of the
electricity generated would be emission free and the share of renewables
in electricity generation will reach approximately 56% by 2030.

The Finnish Transmission System Operator, Fingrid, is currently
upgrading the grid to allow smooth transmission from the new wind and
other renewable energy sources (RES) installations being built in the
northern part of the country. Finland does not have its own fossil fuels
– coal, oil or natural gas – but does have large reserves of biofuels,
peat, and extensive wood resources. These resources will play a vital
role in the Finnish energy transition.
