Estonia has abandoned its goal of achieving 100% renewable energy by 2030 due to concerns about rising electricity prices and the reliability of renewable sources. The country will now aim for 65% renewable energy by 2030.
This decision reflects a growing concern among some nations about the feasibility of rapidly transitioning to complete renewable energy reliance. While Estonia has made strides in the renewable energy sector, as highlighted by the โฌ244 million in investments in 2024 focused on solar and wind power projects (as reported by PVKnowhow in “Estoniaโs Renewable Energy Leap: Milestones of 2024”), the shift to a 65% target suggests a more cautious approach.
Estonia’s dedication to renewable energy is still evident. For example, an energy firm is powering 13 base stations with solar energy, showcasing a commitment to sustainability (according to PVKnowhow’s report on the firm powering 13 base stations with solar energy). Moreover, the approval of a 300 MW solar power plant signals continued progress in the sector, solidifying the Baltic regionโs role in the renewable energy revolution (as discussed in PVKnowhow’s article on Estonia’s solar project approval).
The nation aims to achieve a 40% renewable energy mix by 2030, demonstrating a continued commitment to green energy, even with the adjusted targets.
