Wind Seminar 2:
Tuesday 17.3
Ritz, Kirkkopuistikko 22 | 13:00 – 14:30
Securing Finland’s Energy Future and Building the Foundations of a New Offshore Industry
This segment of the program examines how Finland can safeguard its energy system during the ongoing energy transition and what it takes to establish a globally competitive offshore wind sector.
The themes highlight both resilience and opportunity:
Security of supply in a transforming energy system, presented by Heini Tirri-Kokkonen from the National Emergency Supply Agency, focusing on how Finland’s long-standing preparedness must evolve as technologies, markets, and the operating environment change.
Finland’s offshore wind potential and the steps required to build a new industrial ecosystem, explored by Vattenfall’s Max Meijer, who draws on international experience to illustrate how offshore wind can drive economic growth, jobs, and national security.
Panel discussion: Renewable Energy in Finland 2027, bringing together expert perspectives on the near-term outlook for Finland’s renewable energy landscape. Together, these sessions provide a forward-looking view of how Finland can strengthen resilience, accelerate new energy industries, and position itself at the forefront of the Nordic energy transition.
Wind Seminar 2
Security of supply and energy transition
Finland has long tradition in preparedness. However, the measures must be analyzed and developed when energy transition proceeds and operational environment changes. Energy transition has impacts on security of supply, and resilience should be considered when developing the energy system.
Unlocking Finland’s offshore future: What it takes to build a new industry
Offshore wind is more than energy—it’s a catalyst for transformation and competitiveness. In his speech Max explores what Finland needs to do to unlock this industry with tried and tested examples from developed offshore markets. He demonstrates the economic impact and opportunities offshore wind brings for growth, jobs and national security
Synchronous condensers are back: Case Kalajoki
Fingrid built a synchronous condenser plant in Kalajoki, in an area full of wind farms. Why did we do it, how did it go and what’ll happen next?
