Purposes and the current situation of renewable energy in Estonia
By Rene Tammist, Manager of Estonian Renewable Energy Association
Structure
Introduction of Estonian Renewable Energy Association Renewable energy in Estonia today Perspective up to 2020 The main activities in 2011
Renewable energy in Estonia today
Renewable sources are water, wind, sun, waves, tides, earth temperature, dumping groundwastegas, gas emission/segregation from sewage, biogas and biomass

282,4 MW power to the end of 2011 Up to 2007 minimum investments Soaring in 2009: 107,5 MW Towards the end of 2011 there is produced 767 GWh power from renewable sources, 412
GWh from biomass and 343 GWh from wind power
Prospective of renewable enery in Estonia up to 2020
Purpose according to the renewable energy directive: 25% renewable powers from total finalconsumption, 7% higher from consumption level in 2005 (18%)
Up to the Member State whether it will be achieved in heating and cooling, electricity ortransporting fuel consumption (min 10% renewable fuels in the field of
According to the National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAP) the renewable sourcesmust come from heating and cooling (from 31,3% in 2005 to 38,1% in 2020), from electricity
(from 0,1% to 17,6%), from transport (from 0% to 9,9%)
727 MWel powers to the end of 2020 according to the National Renewable Energy ActionPlans up to year 2020
1919 GWh electricity produced of renewable sources

Basically all the growth in the country is planned through the wind power; biogas and solarpower are not included to the plans
Electricity Economics Action Plans accepted in 2009 (up to 2018) budgets for 1160 MWrenewable powers (incl. wind 900 MW). Today the existing powers are acceptable
Subsidization of Energies
It is important to move towards to the development of market- based prices for electricity. Therefore it is expected an end of subsidization in fossile power sources and calculating the
environmental contamination caused by fossile sources and nuclear power in energy prices.

Subsidization of Energies Estonia
Subsidium of renewable sourcescontains on the base of EITS ?? The
grant for sustainable sources
120 Mlj eur from fossile subsides is
made up by a CO2 quota, 150 Mlj
eur oil shale opportunity costs, in
addition financial support for
biomass burning in Narva kettles
and grant for efficient cogeneration

Grants for renewable energy
Investment grant, which helps to brng the new sustainable technologies to the market, causethe lower costs for technology through the increased extension, reduce the impact of
energetics to the environment, increase the confidence in supply
Grant for renewable energy (Feed-in Tariff) guarantees to the producer the prices forelectricity or fixed grants during 10-20 years in addition to electricity price applied on the
market. (EE-s both up to 2010). In 23 Member States in service.
In the neighbouring countries the obligation to purchase is used. Is in use in Latvia, Lithuaniaand Finland. Fixed grant is used in Estonia and the obligation to buy green certificates in
Sweden.
There are differentiated refunds which vary in payments duration and there are differencesin reference system. i. e. Additional investment aids, available payment facilities,
compensation of power network costs, taxation of fossile sources etc.

Grant for renewable energy fixed by law for electricity market 59 prescribes the right for therenewable energy producer to get support from main power network supplier:
For electricity produced from renewable sources 0,0537 EUR per kWh For electricity produced from biomass in cogeneration regime 0,0537 EUR per kWh
On an efficient cogeneration regime from fossil sources i.e. waste, peat or oil shalegas (heating gas) 0,032 EUR per kWh
Over 20% of total grants are paid for burning oil shale and biomass together in EestiEnergia Balti EJ (Power Station) 11 cogeneration blocks. The efficiency of
cogeneration a block in the Baltic Electric Power Station is ca 40%, which is
approximately two times less compared to new CHP stations. From the same wood
amount could be produced twice as much and even more energy or to produce the
same amount of energy with twice as less wood.

By the end of 2020 according to the National Renewable Energy Action Plans Estoniawill need 727 Mwel renewable powers.
According to the law for electricity market in 59 the support for wind energy isreduced to 600 GWh (ca 250 MW). This limit will be reached by 2012.
With grants for sea wind parks, biogas and solar power have not accompanyinginvestments. There are also problems in the case of small biomass CHP-s.
Discussion about reorientation of the grant system in order to accompany alternativemonetary resources for new required powers by 2020 for obligatory renewable
energy purposes. By existing powers forms EREA an opinion, that the grants cannot
be changed for the legal certainty. Also there must be found some other sources for
refunding besides the bills of electricity comsumers, e.g. The EU CO2 waste trade
(ETS) auction incomes, the EU structural funds or the flexible trade regulations of
renewable energy directive.1
