5 FAQs about [Estonia Energy Storage Project]

How much will Estonia's nuclear power plant cost?

He said on no specific reactor has been chosen yet. The plant is expected to be built by private investors and company Fermi Energia has been at the forefront of Estonia's nuclear power plant discussions. The project is expected to cost €2 billion euros and small modular reactors with a capacity of 300 megawatts are being considered.

Who owns the Battery Park in Estonia?

The battery park will be called the Baltic Storage Platform, in which Evecon will have a 20 percent stake and Corsica Sole will have 80 percent stake. Climate Minister Kristen Michal (Reform) said that the emergence of reserve and storage capacities in Estonia is good news and it is particularly welcome that it is being done by private companies.

Will nuclear energy protect Estonia's economy against energy price shocks?

Nuclear energy was also on the table last Thursday when the government discussed ways of safeguarding the Estonian economy against energy price shocks in the future. Because nuclear energy is heavily regulated on the international level, its implementation is far more complicated and time-consuming than building any other kind of power plant.

How much energy does Estonia use?

Estonia's all-time peak consumption is 1591 MW (in 2021). In 2021 the electricity generated from renewable energy sources was 29.3 %, being 38% of the share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption. Oil-based fuels, including oil shale and fuel oils, accounted for about 80% of domestic production in 2016.

Can Eesti Energia build a large-scale energy storage facility?

Eesti Energia was unable to secure a contract for a large-scale energy storage facility through an international tender. It is expected that it would have a capacity ranging from 25 to 50 megawatt-hours that sufficiently meets the reserve needs of the Baltic countries.
