20.5.2026 | The views on data centres and their electricity use presented in public tend to either depict the centres as a threat to the sufficiency of electricity or, alternatively, highlight the necessity and benefits of such investments. However, data centres are not a black-and-white issue. Data centres should be seen as a part of the overall economic change, data sovereignty and general electrification.

System integration - a new key theme for energy policy - Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment
Climate neutrality requires that we stop using fossil fuels and increase the use of intermittent renewable energy. Different energy systems should be strongly interlinked to secure the functioning of energy systems and improve their efficiency, with due consideration for the large-scale needs of industrial production. However, we must also beware of the pitfalls on the long path towards sector integration.https://tem.fi/en/-/system-integration-a-new-key-theme-for-energy-policy -
The negotiations on the EU’s Clean Energy Package are getting close to being completed in a number of respects. In the quite heated trilogues in early summer agreement was reached on the directives concerning both energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Is the EU’s tool kit consistent and optimal in economic terms?https://tem.fi/en/-/miten-optimoida-eu-n-energia-ja-ilmastotoimet-

The European Commission issued its expected Fit for 55 package in July. The handling of proposals in the EU will begin when the autumn term starts.

As an interim target for reaching climate neutrality by 2050, the EU wants to tighten the emission reduction target from 40% to at least 55% by 2030. Although it seems that the EU will exceed the original target, this constitutes a major change. In particular, the way emission reductions are implemented has a major impact on how much the transition will cost and how these costs will be distributed between countries.https://tem.fi/en/-/fit-for-55-what-are-the-best-ways-to-cut-emissions-
