For electricity produced in an efficient cogeneration regime if waste within the meaning
of the Waste Act, peat or oil-shale processing retort gas is used as a source of energy, 50
cents/kWh;
For electricity produced in an efficient cogeneration regime with a cogeneration
installation which has an electric capacity not exceeding 10 MW, 50 cents/kWh;
For usability of the installed net power of a production installation operating with oil
shale, if the production installation has been commissioned in the period from January

FIGURE 2. Renewable energy support in the period 2007-2010
Figure 2 shows that the consumers paid 2,18 s/kWh for the support of renewable energy in
2007, 3,03 s/kWh in 2008, 6,07 s/kWh in 2009 and 12,64 s/kWh in 2010. Thus the support
has increased from 2,18 s/kWh to 12,64 s/kWh or approximately 6-fold.
While in 2009 the total sum of support paid for 619 GWh of electricity was 405 million
EEK, the estimated total sum of support of 2010 for the produced 1202 GWh of electricity
is 962 million EEK. Thus in 2009 support was paid to 7,9% of the produced electricity (the
total amount of electricity produced in Estonia in 2009 was 7 884 GWh). In the situation
where the number of applicants for support is constantly increasing in Estonia, their
