Analysis
Finland recorded 173.51 terawatt-hours for primary energy from low-carbon energy in 2025.
That represents a change of up 0.8% on the previous year and up 34.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, primary energy from low-carbon energy in Finland peaked at 175.6 terawatt-hours in 2023 and was at its lowest, 8.75 terawatt-hours, in 1969.
That places Finland 18th out of 77 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
