The Eesti Power Plant is located roughly 20 km west-south-west of Narva.

[3] The Eesti Power Plant initially had sixteen TP-101 boilers and eight 200 MWe steam turbines.

[4] Eesti Power Plant has two 250 metres (820 ft) tall flue-gas stacks, which are the tallest in Estonia.

It also was the only listed power plant from Baltic states and Nordic countries region, emitting 10.67 Mt of CO2 per year into the atmosphere.

[6][7] The initial €540 million contract foresaw a construction of a 300 MW oil shale-fired unit which was completed 2015.

The ash is highly alkaline, since the non-combustible portion of the oil shale is essentially limestone.

In 2012, a 39 MW wind farm was erected on the closed ash field of Balti Power Plant.

To fasten the generators' foundations, 22-metre (72 ft) stakes have been drilled into the field's limestone base.
