Energy in Estonia

Energy in Estonia describes energy and electricity production, consumption and import in Estonia.

Electricity production in Estonia is largely dependent on fossil fuels. In 2007, more than 90% of power was generated from oil shale.[1] The Estonian energy company Eesti Energia owns the largest oil shale-fuelled power plants in the world, Narva Power Plants.[2]
