 Renewable energy use will be increased to account for over 50 % of the final energy consumption in the 2020s. The long-term goal is for the energy system to become carbon neutral and be heavily based on renewable energy sources. Policy measures looking to 2030 take into account not only cost-effectiveness but also longer term needs to change the energy system.  The use of agricultural, municipal and industrial waste and sidestreams in the production of heat and electricity as well as transport fuels will be promoted. This will also reduce environmental stress, promote a circular economy, and create reference sites for clean bioeconomy and circular economy solutions.  Decentralised electricity and heat production based on renewable energy will be promoted. An effort will be made to increase decentralised small- scale production, mainly on market terms and through the current economic incentives. The interest of citizens, companies and the public sector in utilising renewable sources in the energy solutions of individual buildings will be encouraged through guidance by information and local reference sites. Changes in financial incentives for decentralised production, including investment aids, will be implemented with moderation and over a sufficiently long time interval, taking the reduction in the costs of decentralised production into account.  Renewable energy investment subsidies will primarily be targeted at the commercialisation of new technologies and to the non-ETS sector, including plants producing advanced biofuels for transport, wider use of alternative transport power sources, and building- specific or other non- ETS electricity and heat production of companies and farms. The objective is that aid for different technologies will be phased out as a technology develops, the costs are reduced and competitiveness improves.  Additional measures taken to increase the volume of renewable energy and improve energy efficiency will bring Finland's self-sufficiency in energy up to 55 % of final energy consumption by the end of the 2020s. Global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will create demand for clean energy production and consumption solutions. In measures that promote renewable energy use, attention should also be paid to the creation of references and a domestic market for solutions based on renewable energy, resource efficiency and a flexible energy system, which are growing global sectors.
