A permit has been issued by the Polish Energy Regulatory Office to Enefit, subsidiary of Eesti Energia, to trade with electricity and natural gas. The company is focused on providing services to small and medium scale enterprises and bigger industrial clients.

According to the head of the energy sales division of Eesti Energia Karla Agan, the start of business activities in Poland is a part of the strategic objective of Eesti Energia to grow from solely being a Baltic electricity seller to an energy seller and provider of energy services throughout the whole Baltic sea region. “We have been successfully operating in Latvia and Lithuania for more than ten years and have secured a leading position in the Baltic energy market. On the basis of this experience, we believe that we will also succeed in Poland”.
