The document summarizes information about renewable energy sources in Estonia. It discusses that Estonia's renewable energy potential is strongest in wind power and bioenergy. Estonia has exceeded its 2015 renewable energy target, with renewable sources providing over 9% of electricity in 2010. The renewable energy charge finances subsidies for renewable energy producers. Wind power production grew significantly from 2009 to 2010 and is expected to continue rising with new wind farms coming online. Combined heat and power plants also contribute to renewable energy goals.
