Wind Turbines to Propel Renewable Energy in Finland
Uutiset 14.09.2008 Government has agreed to construct a number of wind power plants over the next decade. Information obtained by YLE indicates that the aim is to generate about 200 megawatts of wind power by the year 2020. In principle about 1,000 wind turbines would be needed to produce that much power.

The proposal calls for development of wind parks in key catchment areas such as coastlines and near the sea, to accommodate the large numbers of turbines needed. The proposal is part of government’s climate and energy strategy that is currently being hammered out.

Boosting wind power requires other supporting programmes, such as so-called input tariffs, which are expected to be approved in principle during the autumn……………………..The working group has failed to reach agreement on amping up nuclear-generated power in Finland
