Estonia has seen a significant increase in its solar power capacity in 2022, becoming one of the leaders in solar power per capita among EU members. With growing investments and innovative startups, it now aims to be fully green
Enel North America, a clean energy leader in the U.S. and Canada, has started operations at the Estonian solar-plus-storage plant in Delta County, Texas. The 202-megawatt (MW) solar
In Estonia, only one organization with CEC status operates a rooftop PV system (13 kW) on an office building, while Latvia has no operational energy communities yet. The focus was drawn to the roofs of residential multi-apartment buildings as the most accessible place for residents for the possible organization of CEC.
Share of PV systems installed capacities. In Latvia, the installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in single-family homes significantly increased in 2022 and 2024. This growth was largely driven by the availability of state support programs, the introduction of a net metering system, and rising electricity prices .
Between 2022 and 2024, the expansion of solar energy production across the Baltic region has exceeded even the most optimistic forecasts. By June of 2024, Estonia's total installed solar capacity reached 879 MW, Lithuania attained 1.2 GW, and Latvia added nearly 500 MW.
In that year alone, 56 GW of solar PV were installed in the EU, with two-thirds of these installations on rooftops, empowering consumers and protecting them from high electricity prices while reducing land use.
Considering the above, the Baltic States have significant technical potential for rooftop PV installations to support the energy transition. EU policymakers have highlighted renewable energy communities as a key driver of this transition, as they promote citizen participation and local control over renewable energy decisions .
Despite the high dispersion, the median values at an 8 % discount rate did not exceed 0.18 EUR/kWh for Latvia and Lithuania and 0.19 EUR/kWh for Estonia. However, rare outliers exceeded 0.47 EUR/kWh for Lithuania, 0.49 EUR/kWh for Latvia, and 0.50 EUR/kWh for Estonia.
