Skarta Energy becomes a member of Finnish Energy

In February 2023, Skarta Energy Oy became a member of energy sector advocacy organisation Finnish Energy. This will strengthen Skarta Energy’s efforts to speed up the energy transition and become a notable expert across multiple areas relating to renewable energy. Together, Skarta Energy and Finnish Energy are creating a new success story for the Finnish economy based on the hydrogen economy. This is being carried out not just through substantial industrial projects, but also through mid-sized regional and local implementations.

“Finnish Energy is a key reference group for Skarta Energy, and this membership puts us in an even better condition when it comes to encouraging dialogue amongst the sector and stakeholders. This is particularly important now, with energy markets in the midst of the greatest upheavals they have ever seen. Together, we can take Finland’s future as a renewable energy superpower into our own hands,” believes Skarta Energy’s Managing Director Kari Tuominen.

Some of the foremost and most topical of Finnish Energy’s and Skarta Energy’s common interest are improving the predictability and smooth running of the permit process for renewable energy projects and implementation of technology neutrality in legislation and taxation at all scales.

“Finland offers fantastic opportunities for gaining new wellbeing and growth from the energy transition. This requires clean electricity generation, electrification of energy use, and the hydrogen economy, along with the infrastructure that serves them. Skarta Energy’s operations promote these very objectives, so I’m delighted to welcome the company on board at Finnish Energy,” states Finnish Energy’s Managing Director Jukka Leskelä.

Ahead of Finland’s parliamentary elections, Finnish Energy set out its key messages for parties and candidates alike under three main headings:

Sustainable growth: the energy sector is building a solid basis for Finnish success.
Customers’ benefit: getting past the energy crisis through cooperation across borders and market consistency.
Finnish security: varied energy production guarantees security of supply and delivery.
