Measures, framework and financing
A range of measures is required and will be completed as part of the work of the Finnish Energy Efficiency Committee.
Higher energy prices motivate energy saving and improve the profitability of energy saving measures. Regardless of this, new steering methods shall be introduced in order to facilitate the meeting of the obligation proposed by the Commission for Finland: increasing the share of renewable energy to 38 per cent.
The range of measures required is broad and will be completed as part of the work of the Energy Efficiency Committee, which is currently underway. For instance the recently implemented car tax reform aims at the renewal of the
national car fleet into a lower-emission one. In addition to car tax,
the prospects are being investigated of modifying the annual car usage
fee to become emission-dependent. Other support and steering tools are expected to be presented. The
nature of the support systems, regulations or other types of steering
tools which will finally be adopted are to be defined in the climate
and energy strategy.
