[TALLINN, ESTONIA] As governments all over the world grapple with shocks to global energy prices as a result of the Iran war, the importance of alternative energy sources – especially renewables – have come under the spotlight once again.
For Estonia, the race towards renewables, as well as other clean energy sources, started even before the outbreak of the current Middle East conflict, which was triggered after the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran in February this year.
While its clean energy push was mandatory after the Baltic country’s accession into the European Union in 2004, it accelerated after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
