KEY CONTEXT

What do installed capacities in Finland tell us?

Latest figures

In 2024, total installed electricity capacity is 24 746 MW. Selected renewable capacities include solar 1 247 MW, wind 8 358 MW, hydro 3 209 MW.

What the indicator measures

Capacities are expressed in MW and describe the power of the electricity fleet available at the end of the observed period. They do not directly measure electricity generated.

Important distinction

Comparing solar, wind and hydro describes the structure of the fleet, but actual generation also depends on capacity factors, weather and plant availability.
