Wind installed capacity
2009 – 147Mw
Electricity Supply and Demand
Finland is part of the Nordpool system, which integrates grids in the Nordic countries. It does not generate as much electricity as it uses: net electricity imports accounted for 14% of electricity consumption in 2007 (see energia: Energy Year 2007 – ELECTRICITY).
