Summary
The Riigikogu debated the second reading of Bill 308, the Act amending the Building Code and other acts (acceleration of the deployment of renewable energy), initiated by the Government of the Republic. Mario Kadastik, the rapporteur for the Economic Affairs Committee, explained that the bill’s objective is to reduce bureaucracy and speed up the processing of renewable energy projects by consolidating several permit procedures into one for offshore wind farms. By the deadline for amendments, 238 proposals were submitted, the majority of which originated from the EKRE faction. Opposition representatives (Andres Metsoja, Mart Maastik, Aivar Kokk, Helle-Moonika Helme) sharply criticized the bill, highlighting conflicts between environmental protection and planning (e.g., the restoration of the Lavassaare bog), and also expressed concern over the high cost of the projects and the potential increase in network tariffs. Coalition representatives emphasized that the priority development of renewable energy constitutes an overriding public interest, which will help reduce energy scarcity and lower electricity prices. Helle-Moonika Helme repeatedly submitted requests for recesses and votes on almost all amendments proposed by EKRE, all of which were rejected by the coalition's votes. The committee fully adopted 9 amendments, including one proposal by Varro Vooglaid. Finally, EKRE's proposal to terminate the second reading was also rejected.
Decisions Made 4
Recommendations of the Economic Affairs Committee regarding the amendments to Bill 308, which received consensus support or a majority vote:
Amendment proposal No. 2 (Economic Affairs Committee) was fully adopted.
Amendment proposal No. 20 (Varro Vooglaid) was fully adopted.
Amendment proposal No. 37 (Economic Affairs Committee) was fully adopted.
Amendment proposal No. 46 (Economic Affairs Committee) was fully adopted.
Amendment proposal No. 58 (Economic Affairs Committee, essentially replacing No. 57) was fully adopted.
Amendment proposal No. 64 (Economic Affairs Committee) was fully adopted (43 in favor, 5 against).
Amendment proposal No. 77 (Economic Affairs Committee) was fully adopted (47 in favor, 1 against).
All remaining amendments proposed by the EKRE faction (Nos. 1, 3–19, 21–36, 38–45, 47–56, 59–63, 65, 68–76, 78–79) were disregarded.
The motion by the faction of the Estonian Conservative People's Party to suspend the second reading of draft bill 308 was rejected (6 votes in favor, 43 opposed).
The second reading of Bill 308 was concluded.
Most Active Speaker
Helle-Moonika Helme (EKRE, right-wing) was by far the most active, calling for a vote on nearly every amendment submitted by EKRE and repeatedly taking 10-minute recesses, employing obstructionist tactics to delay the bill's proceedings.

AI Summary
Deputy Speaker Jüri Ratas thanked the rapporteur, stated that there were no questions, opened the floor for debate, and invited Andres Metsoja to the rostrum.

Andres Metsoja
Profiling Isamaa fraktsioonAI Summary
Andres Metsoja cites the example of Pärnu County, where, alongside the utilization of designated renewable energy areas, private and EU funding has been allocated to the very same area for bog restoration. Furthermore, various institutions have signed off on the development, which creates a dissonance between the ideas of nature conservation, the green corridor, and reducing bureaucracy, and the actual interests involved.

Andres Metsoja
Profiling Isamaa fraktsioonAI Summary
I am convinced that nature conservation and industry are not easily compatible, and planning must provide clarity and perspective, striving to fully exhaust its entire land potential while consistently steering decisions toward the interests of nature conservation.

The Deputy Speaker thanks [the previous speaker] and asks Mart Maastik to take the floor from the Riigikogu rostrum.

Mart Maastik
Profiling Fraktsiooni mittekuuluvad Riigikogu liikmedAI Summary
The organization Landscape asserts that the draft bill aims to accelerate the environmental impact assessment through a new permit category, but the Saaremaa offshore wind farm project is detrimental to nature and taxpayers. It would be prudent, instead, to first develop onshore wind farms (e.g., Lavassaare) and avoid the expensive and environmentally damaging interconnection with Latvia via Saaremaa.

The Deputy Speaker gives thanks and invites Aivar Kok to the Riigikogu rostrum as the next speaker.

Aivar Kokk
Profiling Isamaa fraktsioonAI Summary
Aivar Kokk points out that electricity generated from oil shale was not the primary cause of the price hike. Instead, prices increased mainly due to developments in the Estonian electricity grid, cross-border transmissions at the Latvian-Estonian border, and factors tied to the price of gas. He also urges discussion of all production options and ensuring that the final consumer does not bear the cost of the entire network fee, emphasizing a focus on a controllable, domestic electricity generation solution.
