A bill which would provide a universal electricity service at set prices to small businesses passed its second reading (of three) at the Riigikogu Tuesday.
Two bills aimed at reforming the electricity market passed their first Riigikogu reading Wednesday evening in a special session convened for the purpose. The bills, should they enter law, have both the long-term goal of moving towards renewables electricity only, and aim to resolve the immediate issue of soaring electricity prices, by providing a universal, guaranteed service.
The Economic Affairs Committee on Friday approved the universal electricity service bill aimed at relieving high electricity prices and sent it to the plenary of the Riigikogu for its first reading. Opposition parties believe the solution is half-baked.
Conservative People's Party (EKRE) leader Martin Helme said that the party is planning no major changes in terms of where its frontrunners will be set up for the 2023 Riigikogu elections.
