  1. Energy policy and its implementation in EstoniaRenewable energy 4.05.2012 Madis Laaniste, Energy Department

  2. National energy policy • Adopted in Parliament June 2009 • Key issues for Estonia • Security of electricity supply, reduction of carbon intensity on power generation mix • Future of domestic oil shale power generation • Oil shale mining and shale oil production • Diversification of natural gas supply sources • Opening of electricity market • More efficient energy consumption • Higher share of renewable energy • Becoming a member of IEA

  3. Targets of RES policy • national long-term energy strategy (Parliament 2009) • target for renewables – 25% from gross final energy consumption in 2020 • target for transport – 10% from renewables in 2020

  4. Estimates of final consumption and targets of energy efficiency policy

  5. Primary energy supply Total Primary Energy Supply: in 2010 – 233 PJ (5.56 Mtoe) [in 2009 – 200 PJ]

  6. Final Energy Consumption Total Final Energy Consumption: in 2010 – 119 PJ (2.84 Mtoe)

  7. Final Energy Consumption Total Final Energy Consumption: in 2010 – 119 PJ (2.84 Mtoe)

  8. Total share of RES

  9. Achievingnational target

  10. Measures to promote RES-E generation • Premium tariff support scheme (premium tariff 53.7 €/MWh + market price ~50 €/MWh), available for 12 years • for RES-E generation in CHPs unlimited support • for wind, support is available until 600 GWh is generated during the calendar year • Investment support schemes • for installation of wind energy capacities, first call of proposals ~30 MW; • for small CHPs (biogas, biomass) less than 2 MWel • Wind energy support scheme extensions probably needed for additional 300 MW, in total up to 650 MW needed

  11. Measures to promote RES-E generation • Investment support scheme for offshore wind farms • the use of use of flexibility mechanisms is envisaged • Development of the grids • Measures to streamline planning of offshore wind farms – basic legislation is in place

  12. Measures to promote RES-H generation • Fuel excises discourage the use of fossil fuels and promote conversion to RES in boilerhouses • Investment support schemes for boilerhouses • Long-term contracts for heat suppliers using domestic fuels (principle adopted recently in the District Heating Act)

  13. Measures to promote RES-H generation • Support to renovation of buildings • Support programmes for apartment buildings started in 2003 • Support programmes for small residential buildings launched in April 2012 • Reconstruction of public buildings • Energy performance requirements for buildings promote use of RES in buildings (easier to fulfil the requirements when using heat pumps)

  14. Contribution of heat pumps • NREAP implementation progress report 2011: • in total, the amount of RES-H was 7931 GWh • in addition to that, estimated share of RES-H from heat pumps was 430 GWh • no information, how this is split between aero-, hydro- or ground source heat pumps
