Estonia wants to build wind farms. However, Kallas says that new wind farms may not reduce electricity prices.
The question is whether new wind farms will lower electricity prices. If the wind doesn't blow, the wind farms won't help. We want to know this.
We don't see calculations showing that new wind farms will definitely lower prices. Storage is necessary. With storage, electricity can be preserved.
How much will the support cost the taxpayer? It's hard to say. The maximum could be in hundreds of millions.
Estonia buys electricity from abroad. We need more gas power plants.
When will the support for wind farms come? The support must come with large-scale storage. The government must guarantee that investments will lower prices.
What is the cost of storage? It is a bank loan guarantee provided by the state.
If Sutt provides evidence that wind farms will lower prices, then it makes sense to build them. If not, storage is needed.
