Eesti Elektroenergeetika Selts

What Eesti Elektroenergeetika Selts does

Eesti Elektroenergeetika Selts (EEES, also English: Estonian Society for Electrical Power Engineering / ESEPE) is a non-profit, voluntary professional association founded on June 11, 1992 and headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia. Its stated purpose is to unite electrical engineers, students, and enterprises in the electrical power engineering field, to value electrical engineers in Estonian society, and to create professional succession. EEES operates as a community-led organization with over 250 individual members (electrical engineers with higher education) and 12 corporate/juridical members drawn from the country's dominant energy and infrastructure companies. It is a member of the Estonian Association of Engineers (EIL), which gives it indirect membership in FEANI, and has been a collective member of CIGRE since 2000.

Since 2005, EEES has held the exclusive right, awarded by Kutsekoda (Estonian Qualifications Authority) and renewed in October 2023 for a five-year term, to issue professional electrical engineer certifications at levels 6, 7, and 8 (Elektriinsener, Diplomeeritud elektriinsener, and Volitatud elektriinsener). From July 2024, certifications are issued under new professional standards with two specializations: building electrical installations, and electrical networks and systems. The Estonian government has signaled that, from January 1, 2031, this certification will become mandatory for electricians working on electrical installations, structurally expanding the credential's demand. Revenue is generated almost entirely from low individual membership dues (€5-20/year) and certification application and renewal fees (initial €300+VAT, renewal €230+VAT, exam retake €50+VAT).

EEES delivers value through its certification committee (Kutsekomisjon), annual conferences ('Electroenergeetika päevad' and a 2026 TalTech conference titled 'Elekter – Eesti majanduse uus mootor!'), info days, and continuing education coordination with TalTech, Estonian University of Life Sciences, and Tallinn University of Applied Sciences. It also awards annual recognition such as 'Engineer of the Year' and best-thesis prizes, and maintains cross-border cooperation with the Finnish Association of Electrical Engineers (SIL).
