The share of RES should increase by 25% in 2015 and by 40% in 2025to achieve one third of primary energy supply.2. Biofuels, including forestry chips, biomass, biogas, etc. should growby 65% in 2015 and by 80% in 2025 when compared to 2003 levels.3. The share of RES in the electricity supply should reach 31.5% in 2010.4. Biofuels should reach 5.75% of road transportation fuels by 2010.The IEA finds that Finland generally takes a cost-effective approach todeveloping its RES, investing around eighty-five million euros per year ina variety of projects. Yet, Finland continues to lag behind many other IEAcountries in the development and implementation of feed-in tariffs and certificationschemes. Currently, there are policies under consideration that by2012 will put feed-in tariffs into practice.Finland is ranked fourth highest among IEA countries for share of RESin its total primary energy supply, behind Norway, New Zealand and Swedenwhich have substantial hydropower sources. Finland's energy supplyhas the highest share of biomass among any of the IEA countries.241
