There are some good items in the programme:
-utilities must provide customers with demand response automation
-citizen's participation in small scale generation increases, including through Energy Communities
-end double taxation when charging/discharging electricity storage
-support long and short term heat storage
-support pumped hydro
-R&D increase to 4% of GDP with focus on energy transition
-independence of Russian imports
-fossil fuels phased out in heat and power generation by 2030
But there are some silly entries, particularly on wind and nuclear energy. There is an unsubstantiated claim that Finland needs more nuclear energy. Despite repeated calls for competitiveness and technology neutrality, nukes will benefit from public financing and capacity markets.
Wind power will be penalised by distance minimums and the requirement to include dispatchable capacity. This is precisely the nonsense that the industry feared.
