• Renewables make up 35% of Finland''s total energy supply in 2019. The renewable energy share in final energy consumption is 43%2. Around 85% of renewable energy is from biomass. • Finland has a low population density and a high forest area per capita, so it has a high domestic potential of solid biomass.

READ MORESince 2002, the penetration of non-hydro renewables in supply have increased from only 2 percent to 22 percent in 2012. The bulk of generation from new renewables, as in Portugal, is from wind energy. In 2011, wind energy contributed more than 15 percent of supply; solar more than 3 percent; and biomass nearly 2 percent.
