  • Estonian Electricity System Security of Supply Report 2019
    ESTONIAN ELECTRICITY SYSTEM SECURITY OF SUPPLY REPORT 2019 Tallinn 2019 FOREWORD Where will electricity come from in Estonia in 2030? I have recently often been asked where electricity will come from if the Narva power plants are closed. It is clear that transmission lines do not generate electricity and, to generate electricity, there has to be a power plant somewhere on the same electricity market. In addition, sufficient connections from the power plant to consumption have to be built to transport electricity from and to consumers. Let it immediately be said that the Estonian electricity system has for a long time already no longer only been based on the Narva power plants and, bearing in mind our climate goals, the future of the security of electricity supply in Estonia is not oil shale-fired power plants. Even if the regrettable malfunction at the Balti substation near Narva in May had had an impact on the operation of the power plants of Eesti Energia, it did not pose any risk to the operation of the Estonian electricity system as a whole. The risk of one producer, one power plant, to the security of electricity supply in Estonia has reduced to an acceptable level by today. In Estonia, the consumption has recently been near 800 MW, of which that generated in Narva accounts for approximately 400 MW. Thus, the Estonian consumer’s security of electricity supply has to be analysed considering a more comprehensive picture of electricity generation and transmission lines than only Eesti Energia’s power plants or Estonia. We do that in everyday close cooperation with other electricity suppliers in Europe.

  • The Impact of Wind Power on Electricity Market Competition in the Baltic Countries
    POLITECNICO DI TORINO Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Energetica e Nucleare Tesi di Laurea Magistrale The impact of wind power on electricity market competition in the Baltic countries Supervisors Candidate Prof. Ettore F. Bompard Alessio Coccia Prof. Sanna Syri Advisor M.Sc. Anahita Farsaei Academic Year 2019/2020 Summary In the 1990s, Nordic electricity market inaugurated as a pioneer regional market. Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) deregulated their power markets and joined the Nord-Pool market during 2010-2013. Today, major share of electricity in Baltic countries is produced from fossil fuels. Main energy source for electricity generation is natural gas, in Latvia and Lithuania respectively followed by oil shale in Estonia. Over the past few years, the increasing penetration of renewable energy systems intensified in order to meet EU-wide targets and policy objectives (40-27-27 target by 2030 within the EU). Regional cooperation is an opportunity to meet 2030 RES targets of Baltic countries. In particular, installing wind power dramatically rises as a result of a great potential especially in Northern Europe. In Baltic countries, Lithuania is forerunner in wind power by over 500 MW capacity followed by Estonia and Latvia with 309.96 MW and 78 MW respectively. A change in capacity mix could affect competition in the electricity market. This thesis attempts to provide an overview of the market power scenario over the years in Baltic countries. Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), a market concentra- tion index, is chosen to conduct this exploratory study. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is a common measure of market concentration and is used to determine market competitiveness.

  • WEC Congress IA Paper Final
    Developments in Production of Synthetic Fuels out of Estonian Oil Shale Indrek Aarna Enefit Outotec Technology OÜ Abstract (100 words) Estonia is still the world leader in utilization of oil shale. Enefit has cooperated with Outotec to develop a new generation of solid heat carrier technology – Enefit280, which is more efficient, environmentally friendlier and has higher unit capacity. The breakeven price of oil produced in Enefit280 process is competitive with conventional oils. The new technology has advantages that allow easy adaptation to other oil shales around the world. Hydrotreated shale oil liquids have similar properties to crude oil cuts. Design for a shale oil hydrotreater unit can use process concepts, hardware components, and catalysts commercially proven in petroleum refining services. Keywords: oil shale, retorting, upgrading 1. Introduction The first written information about oil shale in Estonia was documented already in 1777 [1]. The occurrence of burning rock on the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland is present in the travel notes of the 18th century naturalist and explorer Johann Anton Güldenstädt [1,2]. Studies of Estonian oil shale resources and mining possibilities intensified in the beginning of 20th century due to industrial development of Saint Petersburg and a shortage of fuel resources in the region. In 1918 the first mine was opened in North-Eastern Estonia. At that time, oil shale was used primarily in the cement industry and as a household fuel. Shale oil production started in Estonia in 1921, when the first experimental oil shale processing retorts were built in Kohtla-Järve [2]. These retorts used vertical retort technology, the forerunner of the current Kiviter processing technology.
