About electricity in Finland
Finland is 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets.
Grid & history
The Finnish grid balances nuclear (the new Olkiluoto 3 reactor came online in 2023), hydro, biomass, and wind. Strong cross-border ties with Sweden and Estonia balance variable renewables.
Availability
Excellent. Winter storms can occasionally interrupt rural supply.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is the standard.
Energy mix
Biomass and hydro are significant.
Practical tips
- A European C/F adapter works everywhere.
- Plug-in heaters for parked cars are common in winter, public sockets at supermarket car parks exist for this.
