Topics Estonian Energy Market Overview Trends in Estonian energy market and Estonian Energy Market in the EU and world context

Estonia: Key Fact Sheet 2005 GDP (in current prices)10,5 Bill. EUR Annual GDP growth+9,8% Primary Energy Consumption ~212 PJ Annual Change in Primary Energy Consumption -2,3% Electrification Rate99,99% Electricity Consumption6 403 GWh Annual change in electricity consumption +1,2%

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%; ,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 %). Efficiency Improvements: Primary Energy Consumption shall not exceed until 2010 the level of 2003.

Target 5,1%

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 power and 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
