Eesti Energia plans to cut about 390 jobs across the group

Estonia's state-owned energy group Eesti Energia (about 4,400 staff, roughly 3,000 of them in Ida-Viru County) opened collective redundancy consultations on 5 November 2026. The initial proposal removes about 10% of positions: 390 at Enefit Industry, Enefit Power and Eesti Energia AS, plus further cuts at Enefit OÜ and Elektrilevi. Support functions such as marketing, IT, mining transport and maintenance are mainly affected, not plant operators; the final number is due on 23 November 2026 (ERR News, 05.11.2026).
