5 FAQs about [Storage of wind energy Finland]
How much will Finland invest in offshore wind power?
According to Finland’s sustainable development programme published in 2021, a total of 161 million euros will be directed to investments in new energy technology, such as offshore wind power. The funds will come from the EU’s recovery package.
How many wind power projects are there in Finland?
After the update, 74 new wind power projects with a combined capacity of more than 12 000 MW have been added to the map. Wind power is growing rapidly in Finland, but there are still opportunities for further growth. According to the Wind Atlas, there are still areas with over 7 m/s wind speed where there are no planned wind farms.
Is there an offshore wind power plant in Finland?
Onshore wind power has solidified its place as a form of electricity production in Finland. In contrast, there is currently only one offshore wind power plant operating in Finland, located in Tahkoluoto, Pori. The most significant obstacle to offshore wind power is generally considered to be weaker profitability than onshore wind power.
How much wind power does Finland need?
Wind power is now 10 percent of Finland’s electricity, up from less than 1 percent a decade ago. By 2025 wind should meet at least 27 percent of Finland’s electricity needs. The country will reach 5 GW of capacity by year’s end, most of it onshore.
What percentage of Finland's Electricity is generated by wind turbines?
In 2022, 14.1% of Finland’s electricity was generated by wind turbines with a collective capacity of almost 5.7 GW² (+76%). That capacity is expected to increase to almost 9 GW by 2025.
