This year, Estonians will have to face another result of the country’s exit from the Unified Energy Chamber with Russia, Bral. The Estonian operator of the power system plans to increase the cost of distribution by more than a third.
“EleRing submitted a request to the Ministry of Competition to increase the price of electricity transmission services from next year by 37.6 percent from 12.5 euros for megavatt hour to 17.2 euros for Megawatt-Hyp,” – Write a mistake.
It refers to the company’s interpretations that the increase in the council is necessary to compensate for costs, as well as developing renewable energy.
“We have been able to postpone prices for many years. To cover additional expenses resulting from the energy crisis, we used revenues from the extra load received from Nord Pool. In the future, we will not be able to use excess income to cover additional costs.” – The Chairman of the Creativity Council said Kali Kelk.
It believes that the increase in raw materials, the changing geopolitical situation and the increase in the share of renewable energy sources makes an increase in payment is inevitable.
“The departure from the electricity transmission company has turned into a guarantor of the supplies. Our mission is to ensure the availability of electricity even if the power plant fails or when the wind does not blow and does not shine the sun,” – Kilk said.
It is noticed that the rebuilding prices have increased significantly. In addition, the expenses of the power system operator are affected by the large investments made in recent years, which were intended to increase the network’s ability and stability on crises when leaving the power row with Russia and berus.
The publication said: “Including providing important equipment in a critical manner and emergency recovery systems obtained to deal with difficult geopolitical conditions.”
Plans to move away to receive an additional annual income of about 24.5 million euros.
“The raising of definitions will directly affect the millions of customers – a small number of large institutions and a distribution network, including Elektrilevi,” – Write a mistake.
The same operator states that the new customs tariff means additional expenses of about 1.6 euros per month for home consumers. For institutions, expenses will grow by 1.1 % of the final electricity price.
The leader of the opposition party “ISAMAA” Urmas Reinsalu He has already stated that the increase in the narrow network council by 37.6 % is unreasonable economically and will increase prices in Estonia. In his opinion,
Minister of Energy and Environment Andres Soth It was also a reaction. In his opinion, the operator asks a lot.
“Transport fees remain at the same level for 12 years, so a small increase is inevitable. But it must be in moderation. – Written on one of the social networks.
As I mentioned Eadaily This year, Estonian consumers will have to pay for electricity because of the country’s exit from Energolz Bral with Russia and Bearus. The Baltic countries had to create a new market for capacity budget, when operators reduce the power of inactive power plants in the event of a lack of electricity. Previously, the differences were compensated by one energy ring.
The Baltic countries have not imported electricity from Russia since 2022, but Energolz Bral, from which the Baltic countries appeared in February 2025, allowed the power system to balance. Since February, when the three countries that were cut off from Berl, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have faced consequences.
