The speaker, as a representative of the leading committee, is strongly opposed to this draft and supports its rejection. He/She defends the current law, which defines the impact zone for onshore wind turbines (2 km/3 km) based on actual environmental impact, rather than basing it on the determination of local benefit, as is the case with offshore wind turbines (20 km).

The primary legislative focus is the amendment of the Atmospheric Air Protection Act (Bill 393 SE) to better define and implement the noise target value. The speaker is the chief rapporteur of the bill, who is managing the process and emphasizing the establishment of legal clarity when planning noise-sensitive areas.

The legislative priority is the creation of clarity and certainty in the field of nature conservation, especially the deliberation of the draft law on Natura impact assessment in the Riigikogu (Estonian Parliament). This year's achievements are highlighted: desynchronization, the strengthening of electricity grids costing 1.6 billion, the deliberation of the draft law concerning the maintenance of oil shale power plants in reserve, and the promotion of renewable energy storage.

The legislative focus is currently on supporting the draft Natura assessment bill (610 SE) during its first reading, emphasizing its goal of bringing clarity to landowners and ensuring the protection of forest habitats. The speaker is a strong proponent of the bill, noting that it incorporates many reasonable and clarifying principles.

The legislative focus centers on implementing the national long-term development strategy, "Eesti 2035," and establishing concrete energy consumption targets. The priority is the execution of policies aimed at fostering new industries and boosting productivity, while simultaneously inquiring about the ministry's specific measures.

The legislative focus is on adopting bills that support renewable energy production capacity and keeping the path open for developing the legal framework for nuclear energy. Also important is ensuring the hydrogen and biogas readiness of gas power plants, and examining the role of energy cooperatives and smart consumption management. It is noted that the provision for the local benefit instrument has already been adopted by the Riigikogu.
