Finland’s Integrated Energy and Climate Plan

The National Energy and Climate (ENCP) Plan is a ten-year integrated document mandated by the European Union to each of its member states in order for the EU to meet its overall greenhouse gases emissions targets.  The Energy and Climate Plan addresses all five dimensions of the EU Energy Union: decarbonisation, energy efficiency, energy security, internal energy markets and research, innovation and competitiveness. 

The plain aims : 1) to reduce GHG emissions in the non-emissions trading sector; 2) to increase the share of renewable energy ot the final energy use and of the final energy use in road transport; 3) to promote energy efficiency. 

The plan outlines the impact of existing policy measures on the projected evolution of greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy and energy efficiency up to 2040. It describes the effects of the planned policy measures on the energy system, greenhouse gas emissions and sinks, economic development, the environment and public health.
