Eesti Energia notified the Nord Pool electricity exchange on Thursday that it would indefinitely suspend the participation of four energy units of the Estonian power plant in exchange trading.
The capacity of the units removed from the exchange is about 700 megawatts – we are talking about the third (163 MW), fourth (163 MW), sixth (173 MW) and eighth (194 MW) energy blocks of the Estonian power plant.
According to the owner’s expectations set by the state, Eesti Energia must provide a regulated capacity of 1000 megawatts for a reliable energy supply, however, after the mothballing of the Baltic power plant this spring, Enefit Power has submitted only two objects to tomorrow’s auction: the Auvere power plant (274 MW) and the fifth power unit of the Estonian power plant ( 173 MW).
According to the market statement, the decommissioning of the stations is temporary and further actions depend on the results of consultations and new decisions, while system operator Elering told Ärileht that with only two production facilities operating, it will not be possible to ensure a reliable energy supply to Estonia in winter.
