Energy
The daily lives of many people are affected by whether electricity is affordable, where energy comes from and how much of it is consumed. Energy statistics provide a comprehensive picture of Estonia's energy sector, showing how much energy is produced and consumed, how dependent Estonia is on energy imports and how energy prices change. This helps to understand the general direction in which Estonia's energy sector is moving.
Statistics Estonia publishes data in two main areas:
- energy production and consumption
- energy prices
The data provide an overview of the energy sources being used, the amount of energy consumed in different sectors and changes in the prices of electricity, gas and other energy products. We also publish statistics on renewable energy, energy efficiency and energy security.
Energy statistics are necessary for the state, enterprises and households. These data are used to assess the functioning of energy supply systems, formulate energy policies, support investment decisions and monitor progress towards the goals of energy transition and sustainable development. These statistics also help to understand how changes in energy prices and energy use affect the economy and everyday life. Energy statistics enable comparisons between Estonia and other countries and provide important input for the European Commission and the International Energy Agency.
The new version of the Estonian Classification of Economic Activities – EMTAK 2025 – is in force since 1 January 2025. EMTAK 2025 reflects today’s economic environment and activities. Data based on the updated classification are published by Statistics Estonia starting from 2026. Read more on our website.
