Inquiry regarding the stability and price of electricity production (no. 670)
2025-01-13
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
Political Position
The core position is that the owner's expectations regarding Eesti Energia must be reassessed and must take into account the interests of Estonian residents. Current expectations emphasize dividend revenue, supply security of 1000 MW, environmental requirements, and new investments, but the state has not provided additional investments; the price level for residents must be addressed concurrently, and this must be a priority. A crucial objective is to ensure a reasonable electricity price for residents, which has been highlighted as a necessary component when incorporating the owner's expectations; the position seeks balance and is centered on the public interest.
