Centre Party Criticizes Eesti Energia’s Mine Closure Decisions

Narva and Uus-Kiviõli mines are facing closure following decisions by Eesti Energia, with the Uus-Kiviõli mine slated to transfer to VKG. The move has drawn strong criticism from the Centre Party, led by Mihhail Kõlvart, Chairman of the party. Kõlvart characterized the decisions as “a shameless move” with potentially irreversible consequences for Estonia’s energy security.

He asserts that the decisions were not made by the Estonian Energy Board, but rather reflect the current government’s approach. Specifically, Kõlvart alleges the actions represent “scorched-earth tactics.” He contends that the changes demonstrate a lack of oversight and a detrimental impact on the nation’s energy infrastructure. The Centre Party’s statement highlights concerns about the long-term implications of these shifts for Estonia’s reliance on domestic energy sources.

The party is calling for a thorough review of the decisions and a greater emphasis on ensuring the stability and security of the country’s energy supply. [Photo of Mihhail Kõlvart would be included here]
