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.
This list of countries by electric energy consumption is mostly based on the Energy Information Administration. [2] ... Estonia: 8,800: 2021 [4] EIA: 1,328,704: 2021 [5]
The International Energy Agency’s (IEA) 2023 energy policy review for Estonia highlights the nation's shift towards renewables, emphasizing reduced reliance on oil shale and the development of wind, photovoltaic (PV), and biomass. [8] Estonia aims for climate neutrality by 2050 and 100% renewable electricity by 2030. Energy auctions, in ...
This is a list of countries by total primary energy consumption and production. 1 quadrillion BTU = 293 TW·h = 1.055 EJ 1 quadrillion BTU/yr = 1.055 EJ/yr = 293 TW·h/yr = 33.433 GW. The numbers below are for the total energy consumption or production in a whole year, so should be multiplied by 33.433 to get the average value in GW in that year.
Estonia is the only country in the world that uses oil shale as its primary energy source. [118] In 2018, oil shale accounted for 72% of Estonia's total domestic energy production and supplied 73% of Estonia's total primary energy. [119] About 7,300 people (over 1% of the total workforce in Estonia) were employed in the oil shale industry. [120]
The economy of Estonia is rated advanced by the World Bank, i.e. with high quality of life and advanced infrastructure relative to less industrialized nations. Estonia is a member of the European Union, eurozone and OECD [20] The economy is heavily influenced by developments in the Finnish and Swedish economies.
The energy intensity is the ratio of primary energy consumption over gross domestic product measured in constant US $ at purchasing power parities. In 2009, energy intensity in OECD countries remained stable at 0.15 koe/$05p, with 0.12 koe/$05p in both the European Union and Japan and 0.17 koe/$05p in the USA.
