We have solar in Finland as well, like everyone else. Yes, it's useless in winter. Yes, the expansion has slowed down, because there is no storage and limited export options.

The Nordic power market is a mess, and it's not because solar doesn't work in winter but because the grid needs massive investments on all levels and nobody wants to be left holding the bill for it.

Electrification? Sure, I'll buy an EV when the _local_ grid operator makes sure my lights don't flicker when the neighbor uses an angle grinder. The last update was that they plan to replace the old transformer station from the 60's "when it breaks".

Local generation? Can't get rid of the excess generation if I wanted to.

Is Denmark's power grid expansion still geared at selling Swedish electricity to the Germans?

Sweden? No internal transfer capacity so their consumers have constant high prices while power is exported cheaply.

Norway? Geo-blocked by Sweden.

Solar power in Finland is really not important.
