From 2011 to 2021, Finland experienced a significant shift in its . The share of in Total Energy Supply (TES) declined from 53% to 36%, with decreases seen across all types: oil (26% to 21%), natural gas (9.6% to 6.4%), and coal (11% to 6.3%). Peat's contribution to TES also decreased from 5.8% to 2.7%. These changes were driven by transitions to renewable energy sources, notably solid biomass, with bioenergy and waste increasing from 23. . The electricity sector in relies on , , and electricity import from neighboring countries. Finland has the highest per-capita electricity consumption in the EU. Co-generation of heat and electricity for industry process heat and district heating is common. Finland is one of the last countries in the world still . As part of the Finland has been replacing electricity generation from with. [pdf]
Finland's per capita energy consumption is notably high, driven by its heavy industry sector and significant heating requirements due to its cold climate. In 2021, the industrial sector was the primary consumer of energy, accounting for 52% of Total Final Consumption (TFC)—above the International Energy Agency (IEA) average of 36%.
Bioenergy also plays a key role in Finland’s climate and energy policies: forestry biomass is currently a key source of electricity and heat, and biofuels are set to play a central role in supporting the transport sector’s clean energy transition.
Finland's energy and climate strategy targets carbon neutrality by 2035, emphasizing energy security, sustainability, and biodiversity.

The power station has a capacity of 37.5 megawatts, sold directly to the state-owned Ivorian electricity utility company, Société de Gestion du Patrimoine du Secteur de l'Electricité (SOGEPE), for integration in the national electricity grid. The electricity is evacuated via a substation near the power station. The energy generated will power approximately 30,000 homes. In addition to supplying the country with 37.5 megawatts of clean energy, the power station will. [pdf]
A lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) made by Saft will be installed at a 37.5MWp solar PV power plant in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast). It is the African country’s first-ever large-scale solar project and the batteries will be used to smooth and integrate the variable output of the PV modules for export to the local electricity grid.
“After having experimented with fossil fuels and hydroelectricity, [Ivory Coast], which is rich in renewable energy potential, is about to commission its first solar power plant, marking its intention to vary its energy mix as much as possible,” said Noumory Sidibé, the director general of CIE
In addition to supplying the country with 37.5 megawatts of clean energy, the power station will enable Ivory Coast avoid the emission of 27,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. Up to 300 construction jobs were created during the construction phase.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Ivory Coast had 13 MW of cumulative solar capacity in 2021. This content is protected by copyright and may not be reused.

CIE, the Ivory Coast’s state-owned utility and subsidiary of French group Eranove, has recently completed the development of this solar farm in the Boundiali Department, Bangoue Region. The solar power plant is now set to supply clean electricity to 30,000 households in the region. But, its launch date is yet to be known.
