Evaluation of renewable energy development in power generation in Finland

“…It is also one of the most energy intensive countries because of a cold climate, its energy intensive industries, wide sparsely populated areas with long distances, and a high standard of living. 3 In 2011, the total energy consumption in Finland was 1 392 279 TJ with 52 Mt CO 2 Emissions. 4 Figure 1 illustrates the primary energy consumption in Finland by sources in 2011.…”

“…10 In 2009, solar photovoltaic modules produced 5 GWh of electricity in Finland (mostly in universities and research centers). 3 Diffusion challenges of solar energy utilization in Finland are categorized in three terms: Geographical feasibility, commercial, and technical. Because of Finland's geographical location, the solar radiation is not noticeable compared to some European countries such as Germany, France, and Italy.…”
