ENEFIT GREEN Q2 2023

Interim results presentation

Enefit Greeni III kvartali 2022 vahearuanne

Results are presented by:

Aavo Kärmas CEO

Electricity prices on core markets 2X lower

Drivers:

  • Over 2X lower natural gas prices
  • Commissioning of Olkiluto-3 nuclear reactor
  • Strong hydro power supply

Regulatory developments

The European Council continued the debate on electricity market reform, which will have a significant impact on the business environment

  • In April, the European Council decided to change the policy on CO2 emission allowances and to set a new EU-wide emissions reduction target. The decision will encourage investment in new renewable power plants
  • Parliamentary elections were held in March 2023. Government's Action Programme (2023–2027) has number of targets that will affect the business environment for renewable electricity generation: to make Estonia a country that exports electricity, organize reverse auctions with price ceilings and floors, purchase renewable electricity for the buildings under its management Riigi Kinnisvara AS, offer an opportunity for households and apartment associations producing up to 30 kW to connect to the grid at a fixed price

The new government's EU policy priorities until 2025: create a single price area in the Baltic electricity market in order to increase the market for renewable electricity, build the third electricity transmission cable, Estlink 3, between Estonia and Finland by the early 2030s

In June, the government established a procedure for granting permits for the construction of wind farms on state and municipally-owned land, which gives a one-off right to submit a reasoned construction permit application for up to 10% of the total area the state forest management company

In June, the electricity market regulator VERT changed the principles of the price ceiling for electricity producers and extended the price ceiling retroactively from 1 December 2022 to the production of power plants under construction

The rule according to which the minimum distance between a wind turbine and a residential building must be at least ten times the height of the wind turbine was lifted. The new restriction zone for new wind turbines is 700 metres

Government decided to maintain the temporary price cap imposed by the EU on renewable electricity producers until the end of the year
