Finland is booming in wind power. One of the reasons is that Finnish municipalities, unlike Swedish municipalities, are financially compensated by wind power companies.
Property tax in Finland goes to the municipality, as in Sweden. Production covers about ten percent of the country's electricity needs. According to the Finnish Wind Power Association, the proportion will double within just a few years. The municipality of Närpes is a telling example of the wind power boom. There are currently 44 wind turbines and more than 50 are under construction.
