Finland is increasing the supply of nuclear energy
Kauppalehti suggests that the war in Ukraine, combined with Europe ‘s new emissions targets, has led to talk of a European "nuclear renaissance," as the continent seeks to end its energy dependence on Russia.
However, the EU is still divided on the issue of nuclear energy, as shown by the European Commission’s latest proposal on sustainable energy. The proposal contained only one mention of nuclear power, which was a cause for concern in some energy-reliant Member States.
When Finland’s newest Olkiluoto 3 reactor is connected to the national grid this week, nuclear power will soon account for about 40 percent of domestic electricity.
President of Fortum, a Finnish state-owned energy company Simon-Erik Ollus told KL that EU countries abandoning nuclear power are heavily influencing EU legislation in this area.
Large support package for work in the agricultural sector
The future of the countryside says that Finland will soon decide on a support package for the agricultural sector in response to the food security problems caused by the war in Ukraine.
The sector can receive up to EUR 300 million in subsidies and tax breaks.
The Minister for Agriculture and Forestry, Jari Leppรคdid not want to go into further detail on the package as negotiations are still ongoing.
In the agricultural lobby, MTK, for its part, announced that it wanted the support package to be published as soon as possible and took into account the rise in food production prices.
