Power Plants in Finland

Finland has 191 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 21st-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and 0.6% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 61 operating and 121 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 15.2 GW across 61 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Olkiluoto nuclear power plant (3.6 GW).

The largest owner-operators are OX2 AB (18), Ilmatar Energy Oy (14) and Helen Oy (9) — OX2 AB alone is named on 9% of them. Half of Finland's power plants in service predate 2013 (median commissioning year of the 59 with a known date), 27 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Imatra hydroelectric plant, dating from 1929. 121 are in the pipeline, led by Halla wind farm (2.1 GW), proposed. They account for 87% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Finland.
