According to Statistics Finland’s preliminary data, total energy consumption was 1,330 petajoule (PJ) in 2009, which was 6 per cent less than in 2008. The economic recession lowered consumption of energy particularly in industry. Industrial production collapsed by over 20 per cent from 2008. The fall was historically steep and the volume of production fell to the level of 2000. Total energy consumption has last been this low in 2000.
