Finland
National Energy and Climate Strategy for 2030
Executive
Strategy
Mitigation Framework
Passed in 2016
Other decisions include 1) focusing greenhouse gases emissions reductions from transport on road transport, 2) phase out coal in the energy mix by 2030, 3) fortifying the growth and carbon binding capacity of forests to prevent the decline of the carbon sink capacity. Feed-in-tariffs will be "discontinued" for wind power to increase stability by seeking new projects being developed on market terms, allow for long-term competitiveness of the Finnish economy and reduce the burden on the State's budget. In that purpose, technology-neutral competitive tendering will be pursued over the period 2018-2020. Cost-effective measures will be augmented by € 160 to 240 million in 2018-2020 and by € 900-930 million over the period 2021 to 2030. Energy taxation will also foster the use of forest chips and other wood by-products for combined heat and power generation and biofuels.
