What is the biggest energy project in Estonia?

The largest ongoing energy project in Estonia is the desynchronization of the Baltic States from the BRELL grid shared with Belarus and Russia and synchronizing with continental Europe through Poland. The synchronization of the Baltic States’ power system with the Continental European Network is expected to be completed by 2025.

Where does Estonia's energy come from?

The rest of Estonia's generation is from other renewable fuels. Wood-based fuels were the second largest source of power in 2016. The rest comes from waste and other biofuels, as well as a small amount of hydropower.

What is Estonia's energy demand?

Estonia energy demand is satisfied through domestic production (70 percent) and imported supplies, mainly natural gas and both gasoline and diesel oil (30 percent). Estonia already fulfilled the target of 25 percent of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in gross final energy consumption set by the National Renewable Energy Action Plan.

Why is Estonia so energy independent?

Estonia is one of the most energy independent countries in the EU due to domestically mined oil shale, which accounted for 56 percent of Estonian energy in 2020. Biofuels – mainly woodchips – account for 26 percent of energy, gas is 7 percent, other renewables are 6 percent, and other fossil fuels are 5 percent.

When will Estonia & Latvia connect to the European Union's electricity system?

It was agreed in 2018 that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania will connect to the European Union's electricity system and desynchronize from the Russian BRELL power system, this is expected to be completed by February 2025.
