The Resolution of the Riigikogu that 100% of the grid electricity and 65% of all en-ergy consumed in Estonia will be generated from renewable sources by 2030 cannot realistically be met.<\/p>\n
The notion of renewable energy covers two contradictory sources of energy. Combustion-free wind-solar power is pollution-free and free of charge. In 2021, it accounted for 2.1% of energy consumption. However, under the name of biomass, combustive fuels from agriculture, food and forest wood residues accounted for 92% of renewable energy, and in this, burning of wood formed 93%.<\/p>\n
The growth can be achieved with wind-solar electricity, and in order to reach 65%, the production has to increase by 18 times.<\/p>\n
Wind power 3500 MW (currently 300 MW) would cover the consumption of grid electricity during 30% of the hours per year.<\/p>\n
1500 MW solar farms would cover the hourly consumption during 9.3% of hours. The development of solar energy is generation for own use.<\/p>\n
In order to ensure supply security, it is still necessary to have 1500 MW peak load controlled generation operating in an uneconomic fluctuating mode. In some hours, there is a wind-solar power overgeneration, but this would cover less than half of the missing grid electricity through storage.<\/p>\n
The increase in capacity will bring lower prices and the profitability of invest-ment is not guaranteed. Significant changes to electricity market regulation are needed.<\/p>\n
The solution would be a permanent premium on non-combustion electricity to ensure a return on investment when electricity prices are low. If the price rises above the limit, the subsidy would be reduced.<\/p>\n
The production, consumption and saving of electricity and heat energy cannot be regulated through a common notion of energy. The nature, consumption and sa-ving of electricity and heat energy are essentially contradictory. Each sector needs its own regulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
