24.9.2026 | Between 2017 and 2025, Finnish companies and municipalities invested more than EUR 2 billion in measures improving energy efficiency. Thanks to these measures, the organisations are saving 18.6 terawatts (TWh) of energy per year compared with the initial situation. With the help of voluntary energy efficiency agreements between the government and sectors, Finland has achieved the EU’s strict energy efficiency obligations without the need for national legislation or other mandatory measures.https://tem.fi/en/-/energy-efficiency-agreements-have-delivered-savings-on-a-billion-euro-scale

Recently published scenarios show that we have a bumpy road ahead to climate neutrality. These scenarios also help us to grasp the magnitude of the climate challenge. To meet the commitments of the Paris Agreement on climate change, we need to take determined action to reduce greenhouse gases. Although we are currently nowhere near the desired level globally, Finland is pursuing ambitious climate goals, both nationally and in its role as the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.https://tem.fi/en/-/polku-kohti-ilmastoneutraaliutta-tuoreet-skenaariot-kuvaavat-haasteen-kokoluokkaa

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 -
