Scored as the Eesti Energia GROUP — the oil-shale electricity generation and shale-oil business (Enefit Power) consolidated with the renewables subsidiary (Enefit Green), not Enefit Green alone (which would score far higher in isolation). Eesti Energia operates Estonia's dominant fossil fuel infrastructure: 85% of national generation capacity, heavily dependent on oil shale. Emissions have declined from 11.3 Mt CO2 in 2018 to 3.8 Mt in 2020, driven by market forces rather than decarbonisation strategy. Critical gaps: unaudited sustainability data, no Scope 3 quantification, systemic environmental permit violations, and ongoing investment in new shale oil capacity despite IEA warnings.

“decreasing the intensity of energy production from 0.88 to 0.61, equivalent to a 35% reduction in the period from 2022 to 2023”
“emissions are higher than many rated peers in Europe, at about 280 grams of CO2 per KWh for its total energy production”
“CO2 emissions have fallen threefold over the last few years: from 11.3 million tons in 2018 to 3.8 million tons in 2020”
“Eesti Energia has been asked to keep 1 000 MW of oil shale generation available until 2026 at a significant financial loss”
“In 2024, Enefit Green's electricity production increased by 40% to 1.9 TWh”
“violations regarding sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust emissions have been consistent and systemic”
“In June 2024, Enefit Power had to stop using tire shreds in oil production because the quality of the oil fluctuated”
“a substantial lowering of the groundwater level, air pollution, contamination of rivers, lakes and the Gulf of Finland”
“800,000 tonnes of waste rock could be used in the construction of Rail Baltica”
“Eesti Energia AS announces that it has published its Green Financing Report for FY2024”
