– In Lithuania, with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Baltic and Nordic countries, primarily about energy security. Is Finland ready for a potentially harsh winter?
– In Finland, we know about the difficulties that European countries are talking about. Our energy system is not dependent on Russian gas. we had gas connection with russia but now it is disconnected. We replaced it with a connection with a Baltic country. Also, we are building a new terminal, it will be finished soon. It should also be remembered that there are five nuclear power plants operating in Finland, hydropower plants are suitable for producing electricity.
But, of course, we feel solidarity with the European country due to the energy crisis. However, the most important issue for us is not availability, but their price.
– Do you need Lithuania, how we could improve our energy market?
– I think that decisions are now needed at the level of the European Union.
