Eesti Elektritööstuse Liit

What Eesti Elektritööstuse Liit does

Eesti Elektritööstuse Liit (Union of Electricity Industry of Estonia), branded as Elektriliit, is a non-profit industry association headquartered at Lelle 22, 11318 Tallinn, Estonia, founded in 2013. It represents the collective interests of 16 member companies spanning the entire Estonian electricity value chain — generation, transmission, distribution, and retail — including Eesti Energia, Elektrilevi, Enefit Green, Evecon OÜ, and Fermi Energia. Member companies collectively employ approximately 9,000 people and report combined turnover of €4,265,700,000, underscoring the association's representational reach over a strategically important national sector.

The association's core offerings are industry representation and policy advocacy in energy and climate regulation at the Estonian and EU levels, sector publications and analyses (position papers, decarbonisation and electrification studies), event organisation (Power Summit participation and domestic programmes), and expert network access via affiliations with EURELECTRIC and the World Energy Council Estonia. It also runs workforce-development initiatives, including the Positron youth festival for ages 14–25, Energia Avastuskeskus summer day camps for ages 7–12, and educational partnerships such as the Virumaa Kolledž (TalTech) cooperation established in May 2026. A new board chairman, Andrus Durejko, was elected alongside the admission of Evecon OÜ at a recent general meeting, indicating governance renewal and intentional diversification into renewables representation.

The business model is membership-dues-funded and non-commercial. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set internally. The union employs 1–10 staff, led by Executive Director Tõnis Vare, who has held the role since 3 January 2013. There is no proprietary technology platform or commercial product; the organisation is positioned as an institutional advocacy and convening body rather than a technology vendor, with pan-European distribution limited to its EURELECTRIC and WEC Estonia affiliations.
