Gas prices in Estonia
Estonian households buy gas from competing suppliers on an open market. The Competition Authority (Konkurentsiamet) regulates the network charges of the transmission operator Elering and of the distribution companies, while suppliers set the price of the gas itself.
District heating dominates in Estonian towns, so relatively few households heat with gas; where they do, it is mostly in detached houses and in some older apartment buildings with their own boiler rooms.
Estonia has no gas production and stopped buying Russian gas in 2022. It is supplied through the Baltic and Finnish network: from the LNG terminals at Klaipėda in Lithuania and Inkoo in Finland, the latter reached through the Balticconnector pipeline, and from the Inčukalns storage in Latvia.

Gas prices in Estonia explained
What makes up the price
The price per MWh or cubic metre covers the gas, the transmission and distribution charges, the excise duty on natural gas and VAT. Suppliers offer both fixed-price and exchange-linked contracts, so a bill can move with the regional wholesale price from month to month.
The Balticconnector incident
In October 2023 the Balticconnector pipeline between Finland and Estonia was damaged on the seabed and stayed out of service until April 2024. Supply continued through Latvia and Lithuania, which showed why the region had invested in several routes and in shared storage.
Gas and district heating
In Tallinn, Tartu and other towns most flats get their heat from district heating networks, some of which burn gas alongside biomass, so the gas price also reaches households indirectly through the heating bill. Detached houses connected to the gas grid pay the gas price directly.
Reading the Estonian figures
Estonia publishes no official household gas price that this page may show, so the figures are Eurostat's half-yearly averages in euros, with all taxes. Estonia, Latvia and Finland form one gas market area, so wholesale costs in the three move together.
