Estonia’s Solar-Plus-Storage Project to Lead Renewable Energy Leap
Estonia is taking a significant step toward a sustainable future with the approval of a major solar-plus-storage project at the site of a former oil shale quarry in northwestern Ida-Viru County. This ambitious initiative, a collaboration between Baltic Green Energy and energy company Stora Enso, will establish a 300 MW solar power plant paired with a 600 MWh energy storage system.
Transforming the Energy Landscape with Solar and Storage
The upcoming solar power plant is expected to generate 300,000 MWh of electricity annually, enough to power roughly 100,000 households for a year. Spanning 600 hectares—an area comparable to 1,200 football fields—the vast project will include a 600 MWh energy storage system to ensure a stable power supply even when the sun isn’t shining, boosting overall energy reliability.
Driving the Shift from Fossil Fuels to Renewables
This project marks a crucial transition for Ida-Viru County, steering the region away from fossil fuels and toward renewables. It is also expected to create local jobs and stimulate the area’s economy. The initiative supports Estonia’s broader goals of achieving energy independence and significantly reducing its carbon footprint.

Pioneering Renewable Energy Innovation in Estonia
As the first of its kind in Estonia, this solar-plus-storage project demonstrates the country’s commitment to advancing its renewable energy capabilities and becoming a leader in the sector. With sustainability as a core goal and solar energy playing an increasingly pivotal role, Estonia aims to achieve a 40% renewable energy mix by 2030.
