The Energy and Climate Plan addresses all five dimensions of the EU Energy Union: decarbonisation, energy efficiency, energy security, internal energy markets and research, innovation and competitiveness. The EU has set Finland a 2030 national target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the non-emissions trading sector by 39 % compared to 2005. At the same time, emissions from the land-use sector should be kept lower than the computational reduction in emissions from sinks. Finland also aims to increase the share of renewable energy to at least 51 % of the final energy use and to 30 % of the final energy use in road transport. With regard to energy efficiency, the target is that the final energy consumption does not exceed 290 TWh. The Finnish Energy and Climate Plan outlines the impact of existing policy measures on the projected evolution of greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy and energy efficiency up to 2040. In addition, the plan describes the effects of the planned policy measures on the energy system, greenhouse gas emissions and sinks, economic development, the environment and public health. The Plan also assesses the impact of planned and existing policy measures on investment.

Energia- ja ilmastosuunnitelmassa käsitellään kaikkia viittä EU:n energiaunionin ulottuvuutta: vähähiilisyyttä, energiatehokkuutta, energiaturvallisuutta, energian sisämarkkinoita sekä tutkimusta, innovaatiota ja kilpailukykyä. EU on asettanut Suomelle vuotta 2030 koskien kansalliseksi tavoitteeksi vähentää päästökaupan ulkopuolisia kasvihuonekaasupäästöjä 39 % vuoden 2005 tasoon verrattuna. Samaan aikaan maankäyttösektorin päästöt tulee pitää laskennallisten nielujen aikaansaamia poistumia pienempinä. Suomen tavoitteena on nostaa uusiutuvan energian osuus vähintään 51 %:iin kokonaisloppuenergian käytöstä ja 30 %:iin tieliikenteen loppuenergian käytöstä. Energiatehokkuuden osalta tavoitteena on, että loppuenergian kulutus ei ylitä 290 TWh:n tasoa. Suomen energia- ja ilmastosuunnitelmassa esitetään päätettyjen politiikkatoimien vaikutus kasvihuonekaasupäästöjen, uusiutuvan energian ja energiatehokkuuden arvioituun kehityskulkuun vuoteen 2040 asti. Lisäksi suunnitelmassa kuvataan suunniteltujen politiikkatoimien vaikutuksia mm. energiajärjestelmään, kasvihuonekaasupäästöihin ja nielujen aikaansaamiin poistumiin, talouden kehitykseen, ympäristöön ja kansalaisten terveyteen. Suunnitelmassa arvioidaan myös suunniteltujen ja olemassa olevien politiikkatoimien vaikutusta tuleviin investointitarpeisiin.

Energi- och klimatplanen behandlar energiunionens alla fem dimensioner: energitrygghet, den inre marknaden för energi, energieffektivitet, minskade växthusgasutsläpp, samt forskning, innovation och konkurrenskraft. EU ålägger Finland att minska utsläppen av växthusgaser i den icke-handlande sektorn med minst 39 % jämfört med utsläppen år 2005. Därtill ska växthusgasutsläppen i sektorn för markanvändning vara mindre än det kalkylmässiga upptaget i sänkor. Finland har som målsättning att öka andelen förnybar energi till minst 51 % av den slutliga energianvändningen och till minst 30 % i vägtrafiken. Inom energieffektivitet är målsättningen att den slutliga energianvändningen inte överstiger 290 TWh. I Finlands energi- och klimatplan beskrivs effekterna av befintliga styrmedel och åtgärder på den vägledande utvecklingsbanan för växthusgasutsläpp, förnybara energi och energieffektivitet fram till 2040. Därtill beskrivs effekterna av planerade styrmedel och åtgärder på bland annat energisystemet, på utsläpp och upptag av växthusgaser, ekonomisk utveckling, miljö och hälsa. I planen ges också en översikt över effekten av befintliga och planerade åtgärder på framtida investeringsbehov.

    FINLAND 242 FINLAND FINLAND 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1. General Overview Finland (in Finnish Suomi) is a republic in northern Europe, bounded on the north by Norway, on the east by Russia, on the south by the Gulf of Finland and Estonia, on the south-west by the Baltic Sea and on the west by the Gulf of Bothnia and Sweden. Nearly one third of the country lies north of 2 2 the Arctic Circle. The area of Finland, including 31 557 km of inland water, totals 338 000 km . The terrain is generally level, hilly areas are more prominent in the north and mountains are found only in the extreme north-west. The average July temperature in the capital Helsinki on the southern coast is 17 °C. The February average in Helsinki is about -5.7 °C. The corresponding figures at Sodankylä (Lapland) in the northern Finland are 14.1 °C and -13.6 °C. Precipitation (snow and rain) averages about 460 mm in the north and 710 mm in the south. Snow covers the ground for four to five months a year in the south, and about seven months in the north. Finland has a population of 5.16 million (1998) and average population density of 17 per km2 of land. Historical population data is shown in Table 1. The predicted annual population growth rate between the years 1998 and 2010 is 0.21 %. More than two thirds of the population reside in the southern third of the country. In Finland the total primary energy consumption1 per capita was about 60 % higher than the European Union average (according to 1996 statistics) and about 35 % higher than the OECD average.

Within this context, further progress is required towards the optimal exploitation of their potential, especially in terms of dispatchability, where the role of storage is considered vital. Although current literature delves into either storage per se or the integration of storage solutions in single renewable technologies, the comparative advantages of each technology remain underexplored. However, high-penetration solutions of renewable energy sources (RES) are expected to combine different technological options. Therefore, the conditions under which each technology outperforms their counterparts need to be thoroughly investigated, especially in cases where storage components are included. This paper aims to deal with this gap, by means of assessing the combination of three competing technologies, namely concentrated solar power (CSP), photovoltaics (PV) and offshore wind, with the storage component. The techno-economic assessment is based on two metrics; the levelized cost of electricity and the net present value.

Finland has commercial clout far in excess of its modest 5.4 million population. Finland routinely ranks at the very top in international surveys of research and development funding, competitiveness, transparency, literacy, and education. Helsinki, is a pocket-sized green maritime metropolis, and the Design Capital for 2012; a yearlong event showcasing the global influence of Finnish design and innovation. In Finland, nature reigns supreme and it is no surprise that Helsinki was the site of the first LEED certified building in the Nordics. Finland, along with all its Nordic neighbors, has a focused interest in green build and energy efficient and intelligent building products, services and technologies. Contrary to popular misconception, Finland is not a part of Scandinavia.
