Eesti Energia enters the solar energy business

Customers will also have the option of acquiring a complete solution from Eesti Energia and to start producing solar energy themselves.

According to the Head of Energy Sales of Eesti Energia, Karla Agan, from this autumn Eesti Energia will offer two different solutions for starting the production of solar electricity to its major business clients, from which clients can choose the solution that best meets their needs.

“We will offer a new, unique complete service in Estonia that will enable consumers to utilise solar energy without self financing. The business operator may concentrate solely on its main business and leave everything related to solar energy production to Eesti Energia. The client only has to pay for the electricity to be produced on the basis of the agreed price,” said Agan. The first solar power plant will be built by Enefit Taastuvenergia, Eesti Energia’s renewable energy subsidiary, on the roof of the dairy farm of OÜ Estonia in Järva county.

Companies that wish to invest in the equipment necessary for producing solar energy can acquire from Eesti Energia the top-class equipment, which has passed a careful selection procedure. Eesti Energia will also ensure a smooth process from design of the solar power plant to its final adjustment and delivery for production. Eesti Energia will look after the necessary building permits and activity licences as well as the documentation for connection to the network.
