Estonia
EST · 2024 energy mix · renewables 17.5% · fossil fuels 82.1%
Threat reading 35 of 100, classified HIGH THREAT, HOLDING. 26 events recorded here in the last seven days, 26 in the last thirty.
That number is computed from live feeds and moves. The live monitor is where to read it as of right now.
Where its energy comes from
| Coal | 48.3% |
|---|---|
| Oil | 27.6% |
| Other renewables | 7.8% |
| Gas | 6.1% |
| Solar | 5.0% |
| Wind | 4.6% |
| Hydro | 0.1% |
In 2024, renewables accounted for 17.5% and fossil fuels for 82.1%. On electricity traded with its neighbours, Estonia is a net importer of electricity.
Sources under one per cent of the mix are left out of the table rather than listed as a row of zeroes. Percentages are shares of a country's primary energy, not of the power it generates.
Recorded history
NOAA's hazard records hold one significant earthquake in or just off Estonia since 1858.
The strongest earthquake on record here was magnitude 3.0, on 15 January 1858 (Hiiumaa Island).
| Date | What | Where | Toll |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 January 1858 | magnitude 3.0 earthquake | Hiiumaa Island | - |
A dash means NOAA recorded no number, not that nobody died. Older entries are fewer because fewer were written down, not because less happened.

What the threat reading is made of
| Conflict | 0 |
|---|---|
| Unrest | 0 |
| Security | 10 |
| Spillover from neighbours | 5 |
| Natural hazard | 55 |
| Resilience | 79 |
Each is 0 to 100. Resilience runs the other way to the rest: a high number is a country better able to absorb a shock, not a country in more trouble.
