Wind power in Finland

Wind power in Finland

Wind power in Finland was 110 MW with 107 turbines in September 2007. [ [http://www.vtt.fi/services/cluster7/topic7_9/Tuulivoiman_tuotanto-_ja_vikatilastot.jsp?lang=en Wind Energy Statistics in Finland] VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland] Wind power is the most popular energy resource among Finnish public: 90 % of Finns would want further investments in wind energy in September 2007. In April 2005 the value was 88 %. [Valtaosa suomalaisista kannattaa tuulivoiman lisäämistä, Helsingin Sanomat, 3.10.2007 A4] In the Pori area of Finland 97 % of people supported wind power according to Suomen Hyötytuuli Oy in 2000.

Finland does not use Feed-in Tariffs, fixed premiums, Green Certificate systems or tendering procedures. From the European countries, Finland, Malta and Slovenia are the only ones (2006) that use only tax incentives to promote wind energy and other renewable electricity. [ [http://www.gwec.net/fileadmin/documents/Publications/gwec-2006_final_01.pdf Global Wind 2006 Report Global Wind Energy Council GWEG] page 16] In 2007 this includes only Finland and Malta.

Kimmo Tiilikainen (1966) (Centre Party) is the new environmental minister of Finland during 1.10.2007-31.3.2008, while the permanent minister (Paula Lehtomäki, Centre Party) is away. In his preliminary minister comments in September 2006 Kimmo Tiilikainen recommended Feed-in-Tariff for wind power within one year with the objective of 3000 MW wind power in 2020. This would be 3,3 % of electricity. Finland consumed 90 000 TWh of electricity in (2006).
