Cut in red tape and offshore plans lift dark mood

摘要

Finland is poised to almost double its installed capacity in 2012 after failing to add any last year. Just 0.5% of the country's electricity consumption is currently generated by the country's 130 wind turbines, which have a combined capacity of 197MW. "If you look at capacity, 2011 was a dark year, a real disaster, as we didn't add any," says Anni Mikkonen, executive director of the Finnish Wind Power Association.
