Support schemes
In Finland, electricity from renewable sources is promoted through a technology neutral tender based premium scheme for electricity from wind, solar, biogas, biomass wood fuels and wave power and through a premium tariff for electricity from wind, biomass and biogas. Apart from these, Finland provides subsidies for investment and research projects.

In Finland, the use of the grids for the transmission of electricity from renewable sources is regulated by the general legislation on energy (Electricity Market Act - Sähkömarkkinalaki - 588/2013). There are no special provisions for electricity from renewable sources.
