摘要

Wind power production from grid connected wind turbines in Finland was 153 GWh in 2006. This corresponds to 0.2% of Finland's electricity consumption. Installed wind capacity was 86 MW at the end of the year. Number of the operating turbines was 96. Two new turbines, 4 MW were installed in 2006. Promotion of wind power is part of the Renewable Energy Program that practices the national climate strategy. Wind energy receives investment subsidies and a production subsidy of 0.69 epsilon c/kWh. The amount of the investment subsidy for new technology projects is up to 40% of the total investment. The exact amount is granted separately for each project. The rated power of wind power plants has continued to rise steadily. The average size of all turbines in Finland was 900 kW at the end of 2006 (875 kW at the end of 2005). Year 2006 had a poor wind resource. The weighted production index for the four sea areas was 84%. Average capacity factor of standard wind turbines, which operated the whole year, was only 20% while the best turbine yielded 37% capacity factor. Technical availability of the standard wind power plants was 93% in 2006. The average age of wind turbines was 7.8 years at the end of 2006. This report contains production and availability figures of the grid connected wind turbines in Finland as well as component summary of failure statistics.
