More Than Security of Supply: Finland’s Energy Policy and Lessons for Poland
22.12.2011
For Finland—a country with a scarcity of oil, gas and coal—the reliability of the import of supplies is essential to its energy security. The state is also developing domestic production of nuclear energy and biomass from wood and peat. It also aims to reduce energy consumption through the deployment of energy efficiency technologies. The liberalization and integration of the electricity and gas markets are seen as solutions to its single-supplier dependence. These models of better deployment of indigenous resources and the development and export of new technologies can be applied in Poland.
