Pity you didn't post the whole story .Finland witnessed a significant decrease in electricity prices in 2023, with the average cost falling back to pre-crisis levels. According to Nord Pool's annual price data, the average wholesale electricity price stood at €56.5 per megawatt-hour. This marks a 64% reduction from the crisis peak in 2022 and a return to the average price levels seen since 2010, adjusting for inflation.
The increase in wind power capacity and the operational start of the Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant have played a pivotal role in making Finland self-sufficient in electricity since spring. Despite this stabilization, short-term price fluctuations have been greater than before, primarily due to the growing share of wind power in the energy mix.
