Electricity
Electricity production in Estonia is largely dependent on fossil fuels. In 2007, more than 90% of power was generated from oil shale.[2] The Estonian energy company Eesti Energia owns the largest oil shale-fuelled power plants in the world, Narva Power Plants.[3]
Transport sector
Since February 2013, Estonia has for the population of 1.3 million a network of 165 "fast chargers" for electric cars.[4]
