1 From: Mr Esa Härmälä (Head of Department, Director-General) and Mr Heikki Väisänen (Senior Administrator), Ministry of Employment and the Economy, Helsinki, Finland To: Mr Paul Hodson, Head of Unit, DG ENER Date: 26 April 2013 Ref.: TEM/2268/ / ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 3 OF THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY DIRECTIVE (2012/27/EU) In accordance with Article 3 of the Energy Efficiency Directive, Member States are to set an indicative national energy efficiency target, based on either primary or final energy consumption, primary or final energy savings, or energy intensity. They must notify this target by 30 April 2013, express it in terms of an absolute level of primary energy consumption and final energy consumption in 2020 and explain how, and on the basis of which data, this has been calculated. In addition, the annual report must provide data on the indicators listed in Part 1 of Annex XIV to the Directive. national energy and climate strategy In summer 2011, the Government of Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen established a ministerial working party for energy and climate policy to update the long-term energy and climate strategy drawn up in The essential goals of updating the strategy are to ensure that the national targets set for 2020 can be met and to pave the way for meeting the EU's long-term energy and climate targets. The strategy sets out measures for simultaneously increasing the share of renewable energy, promoting energy conservation, improving energy efficiency, safeguarding energy availability, enhancing energy independence and reducing emissions. In addition, the plan, under the government work programme, for reducing oil dependency is being merged into the strategy. The updated version of the strategy was drawn up under the direction of the Government's ministerial working party for energy and climate policy and was submitted to Parliament as a Government report on 20 March The ministerial working party's team for preparing the updated strategy was an official coordination network made up of representatives of various ministries, namely the Ministry of Employment and the Economy, the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of the Environment. indicative national energy efficiency target for 2020 Finland's indicative national energy efficiency target for 2020 is an absolute level of final energy consumption of 310 TWh (26.66 Mtoe). This corresponds to an absolute level of primary energy consumption of 417 TWh (35.86 Mtoe). The estimated gross domestic product for 2020 used in the scenarios was 159 billion ( billion in 2010 at 2000 prices).

2 Current measures and those already decided on would give a final energy consumption figure of 317 TWh in Under the updated strategy, achieving the energy efficiency target set will thus require either additional measures to be introduced or the current measures to be stepped up. Under the updated strategy, the energy efficiency target set in 2013 is not directly compatible with the target, also of 310 TWh, set for final energy consumption in the 2008 climate and energy strategy. The methods for compiling energy statistics have been since refined in such a way that the final consumption figure for 2006, which was used as the baseline for drawing up the 2008 strategy, was actually around 11 TWh higher than originally estimated. Basis for calculating the indicative national energy efficiency target The energy efficiency target has been calculated on the basis of sector-specific reports and estimates which the relevant ministries either commissioned from experts or produced themselves. In our calculation model, this Ministry combined the assumed developments by 2020 in each final consumption sector and in energy production. The baselines are based on statistics. The calculation used Statistics Finland's population forecast, the economic development forecasts of the Ministry of Finance and the Government Institute for Economic Research and the IEA's estimates of world fuel prices. The basis for calculation is described in more detail in the background report to the national energy and climate strategy. Indicators set out in the annual report The data to be reported annually in accordance with Part 1 of Annex XVI to the Directive are set out in the annex hereto in the form of time series covering the period. The data have been set out both in accordance with the Directive ('s') and in the form of three-year rolling averages. As far as final energy consumption is concerned, the sector which has shown clear growth is the services sector (figure 6). The key reasons for this persistent increase include the almost 2% year-on-year growth in the building trade. The situation in 2009 and 2010 was influenced by two exceptionally cold winters was normal in terms of heating needs, but the gross value-added as compared to 2009 was 3.7% and growth in the building trade was %. The impact of the current economic situation can be seen in the figures for industry since In general, however, it should be noted out that, in Finland, population growth, the number of households and, in particular, households' average disposable income have grown steadily for the entire period.
