Finland aims to begin tendering areas for offshore wind power generation in its exclusive economic zone at the end of 2025, the Nordic country's economic affairs ministry said on Thursday.
A new legislation that will come into force in January opens up the possibility to more efficiently promote the building of offshore wind farms, the ministry said in a statement.
The government will select the areas that will be used for offshore wind power instead of companies proposing suitable areas, it added.
