Scope

What is the electricity consumption in 2010-2050 in the Helsinki metropolitan area?

Definition

Data

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

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

Dependencies

• IPCC scenarios
• Building stock in Helsinki metropolitan area
• Population of Helsinki metropolitan area

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
