The Finland renewable energy market size is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the government regulations that emphasize decreasing greenhouse gas emissions via the use of renewable energy.
Finland's emphasis on renewable energy makes the country self-sufficient while also helping to boost jobs. However, obstacles such as the inconstancy of accessible solar energy in the nation, as well as high installation prices, are likely to stymie the market's expansion. Finland has approved the National Energy and Climate Strategy for 2030 intending to boost its renewable energy contribution in the energy mix. The plan lays out specific measures and goals for achieving the goal of increasing renewable energy's share in the energy mix to more than 50% by 2030. Furthermore, the strategy specifies actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to about 80-90 per cent by 2050. As a result, the effort is likely to provide the market with a boost shortly.
Wind power is a renewable energy source. After hydropower, Finland is the second-largest source of renewable energy. In terms of power generation, it increased by about 55 per cent in 2018. Finland plans to build seven new wind energy projects to meet its 2050 greenhouse emission reduction objective and lessen its reliance on neighboring nations for electricity. The wind project's first installation is expected to be operational in 2020. The seven wind energy projects are expected to generate 1.36 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity annually, reducing the country's dependency on power imports from Sweden and Russia. Furthermore, Finland has a small number of other wind projects in the works, with approximately 13000 MW onshore and 2700 MW offshore projects. The execution of these projects is intended to propel Finland's future renewable energy industry.
Hydropower dominates Finland's renewable energy industry, accounting for about 41% of total renewable energy installed capacity in 2019. One of the most visible projects in Finland's hydropower sector is the expansion of the Kuusankoski hydropower plant's output capacity. The rehabilitation and modernization of the plant resulted in a 94% improvement in plant efficiency and a 19% increase in turbine capacity. By 2022, the plant's annual energy production is expected to grow from 180 to 195-gigawatt hours (GWh). In addition, Finland intends to build Pump Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) at its Pyhäsalmi mine. The Pyhäsalmi mine, which is located in Pyhäjärvi, is Europe's deepest base metal mine. The feasibility study for the projects is in the works. Renewable energy installation is projected to increase in the near future as a result of the projects' implementation.

Wind segment is projected to account for a large market share
In terms of types, the Finland renewable energy market is segregated into hydropower, wind, bioenergy, and other types. The wind segment is expected to account for a key share of the market during the forecast period due to growth in demand for cleaner energy, the depletion of water levels in rivers, and the irregularity of solar energy in the nation. On the other hand, the hydropower segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to the pace of renovation and modification work on existing power plants.
