15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary session
The speaker has a strong regional focus on Saaremaa, where he himself lives, and Hiiumaa. He sharply criticizes the planned fourth electricity connection to Latvia, which is routed through Saaremaa and is estimated to cost 1.3–2 billion euros. This connection is linked to an offshore wind farm project. He emphasizes the opposition of local residents and the damage it would cause to nature. He highlights that local needs (specifically, network redundancy or ring supply) could be covered much more affordably (for 50–100 million euros).

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
A strong regional focus on Saaremaa and Baltic energy interconnections. Particular emphasis is placed on the planning of the Latvian fourth connection running through Saaremaa, the construction of which the speaker strongly opposes in order to prevent the "desecration of Saaremaa's nature." Also mentioned are the Estlink 3 connection to Finland and the issue of Baltic island operation (saartalitlus).
