Abstract

The problems and long-term prospects of energy supply in the world and in Estonia have been discussed in the paper. The problems treated in this paper are: environmental impacts, economical using of energy sources, electricity supply, optimization of power and interconnected power systems and electricity supply prospects in Estonia. The vector optimization of energy supply with the objective to minimize the consumption of energy sources, environmental impacts, operational and investment costs in the long-term perspectives is recommended in the paper.
