About wind power in Finland

In Finland, wind power construction began later than in many other European countries. However, from 2012 to 2013, wind power construction has gained momentum and national construction and production statistics have been broken year after year.

At the end of 2023, there were 1 601 installed wind turbine generators, with a combined capacity of 6 946 MW. They generated 18,1 % of Finland’s electricity consumption in 2023.

200 TWh by 2040

Finland has the potential to increase wind power capacity considerably. FWPA is expecting that we have aproximately 100 TWh of annual onhore wind power production and 100 TWh of annual offshore wind power production in 2040 in Finland.

There will be also growing demand for renewable energy in Finland. According to Fingrid System Vision, in all 4 scenarios the electricity consumption will rise from current 86 TWh to 128-188 TWh by 2035.
