On April 1st, 2025, Finland officially closed the Salmisaari coal power plant in Helsinki, marking an essential moment in the country’s energy history
By doing this, Finland lowered its reliance on coal for power generation to below 1%, an achievement that reached four years ahead of schedule.
The closure is part of other efforts by the Finnish government to phase out coal completely by 2029, transitioning to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, primarily wind power.
not fully sure on this but i think by “biomass” they mean peat, which is a controversial fuel.
Sort of, but not really. Peat accounted for 2.9% of its electricity generation in 2021 (page 14).
