  • Simultaneity of the Wind Power in Estonia
    Proc. Estonian Acad. Sci. Eng., 2002, 8, 4, 270–275 Simultaneity of the wind power in Estonia Teolan Tomson Estonian Energy Research Institute at Tallinn Technical University, Paldiski mnt. 1, 10137 Tallinn, Estonia; [email protected] Received 1 February 2002, in revised form 27 March 2002 Abstract. Analysing synchronous wind speed and power databases at six characteristic sites in West and North Estonia, the simultaneous wind power on the Estonian coastal line is studied. Estonia is big enough not to be covered by the calm totally, but about 33% of the time wind turbines over the whole Estonia would be performing at an insignificant capacity. The wind energy resource in West Estonia is nearly twice bigger than that in North Estonia due to favourable wind conditions on islands. If wind on islands is not employed (due to environmental restrictions or lack of electrical lines), no big effect can be expected from wind utilization in the rest of the Estonian territory. Key words: wind energy, geographical variation of wind. 1. INTRODUCTION The potential of Estonian wind resource is considered significant [1–3]. In case the economical analysis confirms the feasibility of its usage, a number of wind turbine generators (WTGs) with the total capacity of up to 350 MW could be installed on the coastline. This would allow to generate annually 700 GWh of wind based electricity which would cover about 10% of the energy consumed in Estonia. The circumstance that the maximums of the wind speed and of the consumed electricity coincide in winter months is highly beneficial. As a disadvantage, the stochastic character of wind must be mentioned; that requires energy storage or at least support from additional hydropower or gas fired power plants.

  • Energy Policies Beyond IEA Countries

The terms and conditions are available online at http://www.iea.org/ termsandconditionsuseandcopyright/ 2013 Energy Policies OECD/IEA, © Beyond IEA Countries Energy Policies Beyond IEA Countries Estonia 2013 One of the fastest-growing economies in the OECD, Estonia is actively seeking to reduce the intensity of its energy system. Many of these efforts are focused on oil shale, which the country has been using for almost a century and which meets 70% of its energy demand. While it provides a large degree of energy security, oil shale is highly carbon-intensive. The government is seeking to lessen the negative environmental impact by phasing out old power plants and developing new technologies to reduce significantly CO2 emissions. The efforts on oil shale complement Estonia’s solid track record of modernising its overall energy system. Since restoring its independence in 1991, Estonia has fully liberalised its electricity and gas markets and attained most national energy policy targets and commitments for 2020. It has also started preparing its energy strategy to 2030, with an outlook to 2050. Estonia is also promoting energy market integration with neighbouring EU member states. The strengthening of the Baltic electricity market and its timely integration with the Nordic market, as well as the establishment of a regional gas market, are therefore key priorities for Estonia. Following its accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2010, Estonia applied for International Energy Agency (IEA) membership in 2011.

  • Deliverable WP4.1 Analysis of Legal Framework in Context of Use of Wind Energy
    Gulf of Riga as a resource for wind energy - GORWIND Deliverable WP4.1 Analysis of legal framework in context of use of wind energy Ain Kull, University of Tartu Inga Jansone, Anda Ikauniece, Latvian Institute of Aquatic Ecology Summary The report analyzes the current situation in the field of legal regulations concerning the use of wind energy in Estonia and Latvia as it stands for 4 March 2011. We have included the general policy descriptions, the laws and regulations on choosing the development areas at the coastal zone and in marine locations, the construction of wind power plants, the licensing, the related environmental impact assessment. The differences between two countries are mostly in the details of procedures. Still, the problems and inconsistencies are quite in common – a missing stability in legislation and coordinated development of infrastructure to increase connection capacity for wind energy producers. 1 Renewable energy accounted for 41% of all new installations Background while gas represented 28 GW (51%) of new installed power Wind energy is one of the fastest developing technologies in capacity last year, compared to 6.6 GW in 2009. The wind energy sector and is expected to play an essential role in power capacity installed by the end of 2010 will, in a normal meeting the objectives of the new Energy Policy for Europe. wind year, produce 181 TWh of electricity (up from 163 TWh), meeting 5.3% of overall EU electricity consumption (4.8% in The EU objective set for 2020 is to achieve a 20 % reduction of 2 greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 and a 30% 2009) .

International Energy Agency Website: www.iea.org Foreword The International Energy Agency (IEA) has conducted in-depth peer reviews of its member countries’ energy policies since 1976. This process not only supports energy policy development, but also encourages the exchange of international best practices and experiences. In short, by seeing what has worked – or not – in the “real world”, these reviews identify policies that achieve their objectives and bring concrete results. Recently, the IEA has moved to modernise the reviews by focusing on some of the key energy challenges in today’s rapidly changing energy markets.
