The Risti Solar Park marks a significant step in Estonia''s shift to renewable energy. The project offers substantial economic and environmental advantages, benefiting the
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 .
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.
As Estonia and its Baltic neighbors prepare for grid synchronization with the rest of Europe, energy security becomes a pressing issue. The ability to store and deploy energy as needed is crucial for balancing the power supply, especially as the region shifts towards renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.
Estonia’s climate minister, Yoko Alender, emphasized the role of storage systems in this transition, stating, “Estonia has a clear goal – by 2030, the amount of electricity we consume must come from renewable sources.
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.
Using the results of BISE , the estimated rooftop PV potential for EE is 6 TWh, LT 27 TWh, and LV 12,9 TWh. The authors have developed a clear geospatial methodology, utilizing the latest EU building stock spatial data to accurately quantify the roof area available for PV system installations.
