📖 Full Retelling
Eesti Energia's oil and gas segment faced particular challenges, with shale oil production declining 16% to 378.4 thousand tonnes, primarily due to maintenance at the Enefit 280-1 oil plant. This resulted in segment EBITDA falling 59% to €47.3 million. On a positive note, new regulations effective January 1, 2026, provide compensation of approximately €59.5 million annually for maintaining dispatchable capacity. Distribution services showed resilience with revenue increasing 5% to €321.5 million and distribution EBITDA improving 23% to €132.3 million, driven by higher distribution tariffs. The company has also reduced its debt burden, with borrowings decreasing from €1,670 million in 2024 to €1,612 million in 2025, while maintaining substantial liquid assets of €358 million with €520 million in undrawn loans available.
