Question

How is electricity produced in Finland currently and in the future? More specifically:

• What is the share of different production modes and importation?
• What fuels are used in CHP and separate production of electricity?
• What is the capacity range of CHP and separate electricity production?

Rationale

Statistics Finland:

• Electricity supply and production statistics for Finland from 1960 onwards.
• Statistics for 2005-2010:

	2005		2006		2007		2008		2009		2010
Production mode	TWh	Share	TWh	Share	TWh	Share	TWh	Share	TWh	Share	TWh	Share
Hydro power	13.4	15.9 %	11.3	12.6 %	14.0	15.5 %	16.9	19.4 %	12.6	15.5 %	12.7	14.5 %
Wind power	0.2	0.2 %	0.2	0.2 %	0.2	0.2 %	0.3	0.3 %	0.3	0.3 %	0.3	0.3 %
Nuclear power	22.4	26.4 %	22.0	24.4 %	22.5	24.9 %	22.1	25.3 %	22.6	27.8 %	21.9	25.0 %
Conventional condensing power	5.3	6.3 %	17.6	19.5 %	14.4	15.9 %	8.8	10.1 %	9.0	11.0 %	14.2	16.2 %

CHP, district	15.8	18.6 %	15.7	17.4 %	15.3	16.9 %	15.4	17.7 %	15.9	19.6 %	17.8	20.4 %
Importation	17.0	20.1 %	11.4	12.7 %	12.6	13.9 %	12.7	14.6 %	12.1	14.9 %	10.5	12.0 %
Total	84.7	100 %	90.1	100 %	90.4	100 %	87.2	100 %	81.3	100 %	87.7	100 %

• Conventional condensing power: electric energy produced by cooling down steam with water without using the heat energy of the steam.
• CHP: Combined heat and power production

Finnish government: Long-term Climate and Energy Strategy 2008:

• Development of electricity production in Finland
  • Baseline scenario: compliance with measures and development in place before the 2008 government climate and energy strategy.
  • Target scenario: measure outlined in the 2008 climate and energy strategy are in place.

	2005		2006		2020 Baseline scenario		2020 Target scenario
Production mode	TWh	Share	TWh	Share	TWh	Share	TWh	Share
Hydro power	13.4	16 %	14	16 %	14	14 %	14	14 %
Wind power	0.2	0 %	0.2	0 %	1	1 %	6	6 %
CHP, industry, fossil fuels	2.9	3 %	2.3	3 %	5	5 %	4.1	4 %
CHP, industry, renewables	7.7	9 %	8.7	10 %	9.2	9 %	8.4	9 %
CHP, district, fossil fuels	14.3	17 %	13.9	16 %	16.3	16 %	14	14 %
