The average hydropower is 133 TWh/year (135.3 TWh in 2007). There is also a large potential in , and , as well as p.
[pdf] Solar energy in Finland is used primarily for water heating and by the use of to generate electricity. As a northern country, summer days are long and winter days are short. Above the , the sun does not rise some days in winter, and does not set some days in the summer. Due to the low sun angle, it is more common to place solar panels on the south side of buildi. .
Bioenergy, closely associated with Finland's forestry and forest industry, plays a significant role in the country's renewable energy portfolio. Wood-based fuels, derived from forest industry by-products such as , bark, sawdust, and industrial wood residues, along with biomass from operations, have constituted approximately one quarter of Finland's energy consumption in rec.
