Tiivistelmä
The thesis examines the potential of renewable energy in Finland, as a request from Natural Step. Six different renewable energies were studied: wind power, solar power, bioenergy, geothermal heat pumps, hydropower and untapped potential hydropower. This was done regionally in order to see which regions would be the most productive in producing energy from renewable sources mentioned above. Then the actual electrical usage was regionally compared to the potential of renewables that each region has the capacity to produce.
