According to Statistics Finland's preliminary data, total energy consumption in January to September amounted to 918 petajoule (PJ), which was seven per cent less than in the corresponding period last year. The mild weather and the Paperworkers’ Union’s strike decreased the demand for energy especially in the first quarter. In the third quarter of the year, two per cent less energy was consumed compared to the year before.
