Wind power in Estonia

Offshore wind farms are planned on Lake Peipus and in the Baltic Sea near the island of Hiiumaa.

Past auctions allocated substantial support to photovoltaic (PV) and wind projects.

[7] Estonia is advancing its renewable energy initiatives by addressing wind turbine height restrictions, which were imposed due to potential interference with aviation radars.

With an investment of EUR 74.5 million between 2019 and 2022 for radar upgrades, and a similar budget allocated in 2022, Estonia plans to lift these restrictions across most of the mainland by 2025.

Nevertheless, the government recognizes the potential of offshore wind to contribute significantly to its climate targets.
