Estonia National Inventory Report (NIR). 2026Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Estonia 1990-2024 - NATIONAL INVENTORY DOCUMENTSUBMISSION TO THE UNFCCC SECRETARIAT

This Plan contains goals and actions to ensure energy security in the transition to climate-neutral energy generation with a competitive price by 2050.
The transition to clean energy is one of the sub-goals of the development plan. The ambition to reach 100% renewable electricity consumption remains, but this will be achieved on a market-based basis at a time when production technologies are competitive without operating subsidies, which is projected to happen in the 2030+ period. The Plan leaves open, among other things, the possibility of introducing nuclear energy in the future.

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.
