Fortum tops list of recipients of renewable energy subsidy in September in Estonia
That amount
of money was paid out as a subsidy to Fortum
Eesti AS and its subsidiary Anne Soojus
AS combined.
The next biggest recipients of subsidy were Enefit Taastuvenergia OU and companies of Nelja Energia group, both of which received one million euros,
it appears from data available from the transmission system operator Elering.
Altogether, Elering paid out over 5.5 million euros in renewable
energy support and 102,900 euros in high-efficiency cogeneration support during
September.
In the first nine months of the year Elering paid out
51.8 million euros under the former and 2.3 million euros under the latter
item.
The list of recipients of the subsidy in the nine
months was topped by Fortum Eesti and Anne Soojus with 14.2 million
euros, Enefit Taastuvenergia OU being in second place with 11.1 million euros and
companies of Nelja Energia third with 9.8 million euros.
Elering is planning
to pay out 76.7 million euros in support for renewable energy production this
year. After the first nine months, 53% of that amount had been disbursed.
Renewable energy support and high-efficiency
cogeneration support are deemed state aid.
