On April 1st, 2025, Finland officially closed the Salmisaari coal power plant in Helsinki, marking an essential moment in the country’s energy history
By doing this, Finland lowered its reliance on coal for power generation to below 1%, an achievement that reached four years ahead of schedule.
The closure is part of other efforts by the Finnish government to phase out coal completely by 2029, transitioning to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, primarily wind power.

Finland once again putting the rest of us to shame.
I wish the rest of the world would do that. Instead, some of us, not naming any names here, are now trying to speed run climate change.
You might say coal is…. Finnished. Don’t get up, I’ll see myself out.
