Estonia: Electricity prices set to increase after joining European grid

Electricity prices in Estonia will increase significantly following the planned decoupling from the Russian electricity grid in February 2025, Postimees reports. Currently, the rate for production and consumption stands at just EUR 0.04 per MWh. Estonia’s transmission system operator, Elering, has proposed raising the rate to as much as EUR 5.31 per MWh, largely due to the costs of procuring frequency reserves and added VAT. The new tariff will fluctuate with the frequency reserve market and will be reviewed every two months.
