Estonian Islands Energy Agency is a not-for-profit organization.

We operate as a social enterprise and our work is funded through the provision of innovative engineering services, education and advice and supported by grant aid from national and European sources.

Our goal is to deliver the energy transition at scale in archipelago through innovation and world class project delivery. We bridge the gap between climate targets and real-world results by taking the engineering & financial actions necessary to deliver on Estonia’s Climate Action Plan.
