Programme for the promotion of wind power production. Proposal of a Working Group; Tuulivoiman tuotannon edistaemisohjelma; Tyoeryhmaen ehdotus

Abstract

Promotion of renewable energies has a pretty long history in Finnish energy policy. In its Energy-policy Report to Parliament in the spring of 1992, the Council of State expressed the intention to draw up a long-term programme for expanding the wind power capacity in Finland. In the Energy Department of the Finnish Ministry of Trade and Industry, a group of civil servants has been surveying the present status of wind power the chances for expanding it, and how this energy has been promoted in different countries. The survey is to provide a basis for a first goal-oriented Wind Power Programme for Finland. Finland`s existing wind power capacity approximates 1.5 MW. The Wind Power Programme suggests this to be raised to 100 MW by the year 2005. Even so, less than 0.5 % of the estimated electricity requirements would be supplied through wind power. To achieve this modest target, a systematic programme would already be necessary. Key actions according to the proposed Programme would include the continuation of R and D efforts, subsidized construction of installations, different options relating to land use planning, and voluntary agreements between the government and the power producers. Information will also have to be supplied to  More>>

Information will also have to be supplied to ensure its implementation. Under the proposed Programme, the Ministry of Trade and industry would go on contributing investment aid toward the building of wind power installations. Those to be erected in some early years would be looked upon as `new technology` ones, which would enable them to be assisted at more than 30 % of the total cost if necessary. Installations` improved competitiveness would decrease the aid percentage}
