Topics • Estonian Energy Market Overview • Trends in Estonian energy market and • Estonian Energy Market in the EU and world context
Strategic Energy Policy Objectives • Self-sufficiency • Ability to cover domestic electricity needs any time by producers located in Estonia. • Increase in the use of renewables • Indicative target 5,1% of power by 2010 (2001-0,1%;2005-1,2%). • Main emphasise on the biofuels based CHP generation and windpower. • Increase in the use of CHP-s • Indicative objective 20% of power from CHP-s by 2020 (today 12-13%). • Efficiency Improvements: • Primary Energy Consumption shall not exceed until 2010 the level of 2003.
Interesting Facts • Transit of crude oil and its products via Estonian ports exceeds local consumption over 30 times. • Power transit via Estonia from Russia to Latvia and Kaliningrad region represents~10% of the total consumption. • No congestions in the powerand gas transmission grids – technically 100% of the power needs of Estonia could be imported. • The share of district heating in the heating market is above 70%. CHP-s generate ~12% of power and ~40% of heat.
Conclusions • Estonia is a well-placed partner in the international energy markets • Energy market of Estonia is in many respects different from other countries • Estonia is headed towards own, but more sustainable energy supply • Energy efficiency improvements can decouple economic growth and energy consumption
