Energy in Estonia
Energy in Estonia depends on fossil fuels. Finland and Estonia are two of the last countries in the world still burning peat.[1][2]

Electricity
Electricity production in Estonia is largely dependent on fossil fuels. In 2007, more than 90% of power was generated from oil shale.[4] The Estonian energy company Eesti Energia owns the largest oil shale-fuelled power plants in the world, Narva Power Plants.[5]
Transport sector
In February 2013, Estonia had a network of 165 fast chargers for electric cars (for a population of 1.3 million).[6][needs update]
