In a recent discussion, Marko Allikson, a member of the board at Baltic Energy Partners, provided insights into the establishment of the electricity market system. He emphasized that the system was created to ensure efficiency and fairness in energy distribution, particularly in the context of the Baltic region. However, as market dynamics evolve and consumer needs change, there is growing discontent with the current state of the market.

Allikson pointed out that if the current electricity market no longer serves the consumers effectively, various alternatives are available. He highlighted options such as localized energy solutions, increased reliance on renewable sources, and direct consumer engagement in energy trading. These alternatives could potentially address the shortcomings of the existing market by promoting sustainability and reducing costs for consumers.

The discussion reflects a broader trend in energy policy debates where there is an increasing focus on how to modernize energy systems to be more responsive to consumer demands and environmental concerns. As Estonia and other Baltic states navigate the challenges of energy production and consumption, the insights shared by Allikson could play a pivotal role in shaping future energy policy and market structures, influencing both national energy independence and the move towards greener energy solutions.
