Energiavõrgu

Energiavõrgu refers to the electricity grid in Estonian. It is the complex network of power lines, substations, transformers, and other infrastructure used to transmit and distribute electricity from power plants to consumers. This system ensures a reliable and continuous supply of electricity for homes, businesses, and industries. The energy grid is essential for modern life, powering everything from lighting and heating to communication systems and industrial machinery.

The Estonian energy grid is interconnected with neighboring countries, allowing for the exchange of electricity and enhancing the security of supply. This international connectivity is crucial for balancing supply and demand, as well as for responding to unexpected outages or disruptions. The management and operation of the energy grid are overseen by specialized companies responsible for its maintenance, development, and ensuring its stability.

Modernization and technological advancements are continuously being implemented within the energy grid. This includes the integration of renewable energy sources like wind and solar power, which require flexible grid management to handle their intermittent nature. Smart grid technologies are also being introduced, enabling better monitoring, control, and efficiency of electricity flow. The goal is to create a more resilient, sustainable, and efficient energy system for the future.
