Figure 3.15:
Total energy consumption by sources, 2015 (Source: Statistics Finland).
In 2015 natural gas accounted for about 20% of the fuels used in the production of
district heat and CHP production as shown in the figure 3.17 and about 6% of the
electricity production as shown in figure 3.16. On the scale of the whole country,
natural gas accounts some 6% of the use of primary energy.
