Reduce GHG emission compared to 1990 emissions levels is 70% by 2030.

No more than 11% emission increase by 2020 compared with a 2005 baseline

80% GHG emission reduction by 2050 compared with a 1990 baseline

Maintain energy consumption per GDP at 20.0TJ per PPP by 2010 against a 2003 baseline

Less than 90% oil and at least 8% renewable of electricity produced by 2015

25% renewables of final energy consumption by 2020, then 50% by 2030

Reduce GHG emissions from transport below 2,157,000 tons CO2e base level and fossil fuels in transport below 387.7 kg per inhabitant

The National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) is a ten-year integrated document <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/energy/topics/energy-strategy/national-energy-climate-plans_en" target="_self">mandated by the European Union</a> to each of its member states in order for the EU to meet its overall greenhouse gases emissions targets. Following feedback from an EU-wide assessment of draft NECP submissions, EU members are required to submit updated final NECPs for the period 2021-2030.
Estonia’s long-term objective is to transition to a low-carbon economy, which means gradually reforming the economy and energy system to be resource-efficient, productive and environmentally-friendly in line with the objectives. The use of fossil fuels will be reduced and CO2 emissions will decrease due to energy savings in transport, agriculture, waste management and industrial processes and small-scale power production where energy is produced by facilities with a rated output of less than 20 MWh. To maintain final energy consumption in the period 2021-2030 requires annual energy savings equivalent to 0.8% of the average final energy consumption in the period 2016-2018. Consumption of primary energy is forecast to drop by a quarter in the period 2017-2030. The share of renewables will be increased by changing fossil fuel boilers to renewable fuels, increasing electricity generation from fuel free sources and increased use of biofuels in transport. In the electricity and heating sector, the plan aims at increasing renewable sources.
