Overview
Estonia is accelerating its transition to renewable energy, targeting 65% renewables in final consumption by 2030 while phasing out oil shale. Key measures include grid synchronisation with Europe, offshore wind expansion, and nuclear energy adoption to enhance security and sustainability.

Highlights
- Estonia aims to limit the share of oil shale in its energy mix and targets a share of at least 65% of renewables in total final consumption in 2030.
- Eesti Energia dominates the power sector with 85% of generation, over 95% of distribution, and around 50% of total sales.
- Utilitas dominates the district heating sector with around 70% of the residential market.
- Oil shale dominates the energy mix (53% in 2024), with a rapidly declining share (-19 points since 2010).
- The share of solar and wind in the power mix reached 35% in 2024.
- Final consumption is relatively stable.
- Electricity and gas prices are decreasing since 2022, after more than doubling from 2020 to 2022.
- The development of wind is the main priority, with a lot of offshore projects.
Energy & Climate Policy Framework
The Department of Energy of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications is responsible for the energy policy.
The Estonian Competition Authority regulates the energy sector and reports to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications.
Energy Companies
Gas:
Elenger (Eesti Gaas) is the national gas company.
Energy Supply & Demand
Resources:
Estonia has very few conventional resources. However, the country does have important reserves of oil shale (around 50 years), peat and wood.
Energy Use and Price by Sector
Energy Prices in Residential:
The price of gas in the residential sector has fallen by 8%/year since 2022 to reach 8.6€c/kWh in 2025, after experiencing a sharp increase of 60%/year between 2020 and 2022 (11€c/kWh).
The price of electricity has remained stable at around €21c/kWh since 2022, after rising sharply by 33%/year between 2020 and 2022.

Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
According to Elering, electricity consumption should rise by 4.3%/year between 2023 (7 TWh) and 2030, reaching 9.4 TWh; peak demand should grow more slowly and remain under 1 700 MW. By this date, the installed capacity should decrease by more than 500 MW, due to the decommissioning of thermal capacities at the Narva power plants.

The Estonia energy market data since 1990 and up to
is included in the Excel file accompanying the Estonia country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.
Key Data included in the excelsheet:
- Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
- Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
- Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
- Energy Balance: total and per energy.
- Estonia Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Estonia energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
