ENERGY PRODUCTION, RENEWABLE ENERGY IN ESTONIA

The production of energy in Estonia is split into two: fossil fuels (exclusively shale oil) and renewable energy, which comprises of four different areas. The first being wind power, second biomasses, third being solar power and fourth hydropower energy. Shale oil and its extraction makes up a massive 90% of all energy produced in Estonia, and although it is in limited size, it will be a massive part of Estonia's energy production until it is eventually deprived in about 50 years. Out of all of the renewable energy sources, wind power makes up of 65% of all produced, and frankly, that is how it will stay, since the geographic positioning of Estonia and its actual opportunities for renewable energy in every other area are very limited, and would be wasteful to invest too much into it in this country.
