Nobody is using gas to heat anything in Finland. District heating is pretty much all some combination of waste heat from some other industrial process (including electricity production), coal, wood or peat. Some district heating scale heat pump and storage projects are in prototype phase but are meaningless % of actual usage.

For individual house heating it is some combination of pure electric, heat pump, wood and oil.

Gas in general is used very little for electricity here (only ~7% of total energy production) and gas cooking stuff is also relatively rare.
