Finland's nuclear energy consumption has seen significant growth in recent years, reaching approximately *** petajoules in 2024. This increase reflects a broader shift in the country's energy landscape, with nuclear power playing an increasingly important role in electricity production and overall energy consumption.

Nuclear's rising share in electricity production

The share of electricity produced from nuclear energy in Finland has risen substantially. While it remained below ** percent between 2014 and 2022, by 2024 nuclear energy accounted for around ** percent of Finnish electricity production. This growth indicates that nuclear power is still a key component of Finland's energy mix.

Changing energy consumption patterns

In 2024, nuclear energy became the second-largest source of energy consumption in Finland, accounting for approximately **** percent of the total. This positions nuclear power close behind wood fuels, which held the top spot in the distribution of energy consumption. The rise of nuclear energy coincides with a decline in fossil fuel consumption, which reached a low of about ** terajoules in 2024. Additionally, the share of net energy imports in Finland's total energy consumption decreased to *** percent by 2024, suggesting a move towards greater energy independence.
