Finland: energy consumption distribution 2010-2020

This statistic shows the distribution of energy consumption in Finland from 2010 to 2020. During this period, the renewable energy production increased, and for the first time in 2020, the consumption of renewables was higher than the consumption of fossil fuels and peat combined. Wood fuels accounted for roughly 28 percent of the total energy consumption in 2020, six percent more than in 2010. Consumption of nuclear energy fluctuated over the shown period, increasing to 19 percent in 2020.

Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information: "Hydro and wind power and net imports of electricity were made commensurate with fuels according to directly obtained electricity (3.6 TJ/GWh) and nuclear energy at the efficiency ratio of 33 percent from nuclear power (10.91 TJ/GWh)."

* Includes hard coal and coke, blast furnace gas, and coke oven gas.

** Consumption of natural gas exclusive of uses as raw material.

Missing percentage points or percentage points exceeding 100 percent are probably due to rounding.
