Renewable energy must be at least 42%, with a target of 16 TWh in 2030. [8] The plan was changed in October 2022, when Estonia set a target date of 2030 to generate 100% electricity from renewables. [9] According to the International Energy Agency's (IEA) 2023 Energy Review Policy, Estonia's energy strategy aims to achieve climate neutrality by
Estonia's electricity sector is interconnected with regional energy markets, particularly through connections with Finland, Latvia, and Russia.The direct electrical interconnection with Finland was established in 2006 and was further strengthened by the Estlink 2 interconnector in 2014.
Baltic states synchronization with UCTE (also known as Baltic Synchro) is an international electricity transmission infrastructure project to synchronize the three Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) with the Synchronous grid of Continental Europe (UCTE), managed by ENTSO-E, and leave the IPS/UPS transmission system managed by the BRELL (Belarus, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania ...
