What Enefit does
Financing is sourced through sovereign equity injections (€100M from the Government of Estonia in May 2025), a €400 million green hybrid bond on the London Stock Exchange in July 2024, and a €300 million 5-year senior green bond issued in May 2026, supporting credit ratings of Baa3 (Moody's, stable) and BBB- (Fitch, stable). The group's strategic positioning combines a state-backed regulated franchise (TSO procurement, national grid ownership) with a corporate-level pivot away from oil-shale dependence toward renewable generation, battery storage, and hydrogen-ready capacity.

Enefit product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Enefit is an integrated electricity business spanning generation, portfolio management, sales, and customer relationships across Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. It generates electricity from renewable sources (wind, solar), oil shale, and battery energy storage systems, while its subsidiaries produce liquid fuels, industrial byproducts (crushed stone, ash), district heating, and operate the Estonian distribution network through Elektrilevi. The company sells electricity and smart energy solutions to both private households and business customers, and provides reserve capacity services to the Estonian transmission system operator.
Product overview
Enefit operates as an integrated energy group with three main business segments: Enefit (electricity generation, portfolio management, and sales), Enefit Industry (liquid fuel production, circular economy, and industrial solutions including Enefit Power for controllable electricity generation and Narva Soojusvõrk for district heating), and Elektrilevi (distribution network services managing Estonia's electricity infrastructure). The company also operates battery energy storage systems at wind farm sites and provides industrial products including crushed stone and oil shale ash through its circular economy initiatives. Previously separate, the renewable energy subsidiary Enefit Green has been integrated into the parent company following its 2025 delisting from Nasdaq Baltic.
