Data

Electricity consumption in Finland in 2008 by production type (GWh).[1]

Year Hydro power Wind power Industrial CHP District heating CHP Nuclear power Conventional condensation power Gas turbine Production + Imports - Exports Total consumption
2008 16 909 261 11 061 15 414 22 050 8 702 77 74 475 16 107 3 335 87 247

Unit

GWh/a

Formula

  • Total Finnish consumption/Finnish population * population in Helsinki metropolitan area
    =87247/5000000*1000000 = 17494 GWh/a

This gives a rough estimate. It is an upper limit, because there are major electricity consumers in industry (e.g. Tornio steel mill), but none within the Helsinki metropolitan area.

Result

17494 GWh/a
