We are delighted to share that our colleagues’ contribution has been featured in the Chambers Power Generation, Transmission & Distribution 2026 Guide, providing an overview of the key trends and developments shaping Finland’s rapidly evolving energy sector.

The Finnish energy market is undergoing a significant transformation. Electricity consumption is expected to grow substantially by 2030, driven by, among other things, electrification, artificial intelligence, and data centre investments. At the same time, Finland continues its transition away from fossil fuels while strengthening energy security and self-sufficiency.

Among the key trends highlighted in the guide are: 

• Growing demand for electricity and the resulting need for major investments in grid infrastructure; 
• Renewed interest in nuclear energy, particularly Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), supported by ongoing legislative reforms; and
• The expansion of battery storage and data centre projects, both of which are reshaping the energy landscape and creating new regulatory and infrastructure considerations.

Finland offers a compelling example of how decarbonisation, energy security, industrial competitiveness and technological innovation can advance in parallel. The developments of the coming decade will play a decisive role in determining how these ambitions are translated into a resilient, flexible and sustainable energy system.

We are pleased to contribute to this discussion and to share insights on the developments that continue to shape the Finnish energy market. Our experienced lawyers regularly advise clients on a broad range of energy-related matters.
