15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political stance centers on guaranteeing constitutionality, backing the Chancellor of Justice’s proposal to amend the law that is in violation of the Constitution. This position is grounded in both policy and legal norms, stressing that the constitutional infringement must be rectified, even if the European Commission holds a contrary view regarding the disbursement of the relevant support. Legal compliance is the priority, although the debate concerning the supremacy of the EU directive will persist.

15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary session.
The political focus is heavily on energy policy, grid regulations, and how electricity prices are determined. It supports measures designed to cover fixed costs (oil shale reserves) and incentivize the addition of new production capacity (renewables, nuclear energy), viewing this as a way to drive down electricity prices. The framework itself is primarily policy- and efficiency-driven, concentrating on improving technical rules (such as addressing double taxation and connection fees). The speaker is a strong proponent of nuclear energy, pointing out that the draft legislation offers favorable connection terms for a nuclear power plant.
