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. However, the directives must also be efficiently implemented by Member States. What does this mean for Finland in practice? What are the key challenges?https://tem.fi/en/-/vahvaa-kunnianhimoa-ja-saantelyn-sudenkuoppia-energiatehokkuuden-ja-uusiutuvan-energian-uudet-eu-velvoitteet

Climate policy aims to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the European Union, these emissions are reduced by emissions trading scheme, the obligations of effort sharing sectors and the promotion of renewable energy and energy efficiency. Other relevant tools are land-use change and sinks in forests, which have their own regulations.

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
