Beneficiaries can draw up to one million euros with the maximum subsidy amount of EUR 360 000/MWh of electricity storage and EUR 220 000/1000 cubic meters of thermal storage. The subsidies are distributed by the Center for Environmental Investments (KIK) and applications opened in December 2022. Read MoreDownload files
Yes—Estonian businesses and housing associations can apply for government grants for solar panels under the national Security of Supply Grant program. This initiative provides grant money for solar panels with funding from the EU’s recovery fund. Read MoreDownload files
Estonia’s first large-scale energy storage project, Zero Terrain, has received an official permit and construction can go ahead. Developed by Energiasalv, the 550 MW underground pumped-hydro storage plant has minor environmental and land-use impact and can therefore be implemented in urban areas. Read MoreDownload files
The Baltic countries have good potential for solar photovoltaic (PV) energy generation, as on average 15 hours of sunlight is available in summer. Another potential option is to encourage the construction.
