Introduction Many rural municipalities aim energy self-sufficiency using renewable energy sources on regional level due to rising energy prices, reliability of steady supply and environmental pollution. A new draft directive of the EU in January 2008 triggers the efforts to raise the proportion of renewable sources in energy production by 20 % until 2020. This means that Finland should rise the proportion of renewable energy resources in energy production from about 28.5 % in 2005 to about 38.5 % until 2020 (Heinimö 2008) The objective of this paper is to find whether an example rural municipality can achieve this goal and whether there is the potential to become energy self-sufficient and to close material flows.
