Voimaantuloehdot

Voimaantuloehdot refers to a set of guidelines and regulations in Finland that determine the compensation received by companies that produce electricity from renewable energy sources, such as wind power, solar power, and biomass.

The regulation is based on the Power Generation (Electroniquity of Fulfillment) Act (Electroniöläiskimin Akilia Lahityo Ja Anteoismentsähijahi Tioala HELO) Act 83:1458, which was established in 1985. However, it underwent significant changes in the 1990s and 2000s to promote the development of renewable energy sources.

The compensation amount is paid to companies that produce electricity from existing power plants for a certain number of years, known as the "production guarantee period". During this period, the companies receive a fixed price for the electricity produced, which is calculated based on the cost of energy production, feed-in tariffs, and other factors.

The voimaantuloehdot system also has targets for the amount of renewable energy to be produced and sold in the electricity market. This ensures that companies with production concessions prioritize the sale of renewable energy. Companies that fail to meet their obligations may face changes or cancellation of their production concessions.

These regulations aim to support the growth of the renewable energy sector and make it more competitive in the electricity market. By providing a profitable environment for the production of renewable energy, the government aims to promote the transition to a more sustainable energy mix.
