Windenergy in Estonia

http://dimyselfpower.blogspot.com/

Estonian government is planning to sell AAU's (Assigned Amount Units-meaning CO2 emissions) in 23 million euros worth to Spain. Most of the money is planned to be spent on new wind farms in total output of 25-30MW.
If only the government would subsidise mi plans on building a wind genny. In mi opinion this is a grateful news to Estonians because electricity in Estonia is mainly produced by burning oil shale, which is a big pollutant if burned, also the power stations where the oil shale is burned aren't very efficient.
Currently there are several wind farms in Estonia, which are producing according to the manufacturer in excess of 78MW of electric energy. Even though current production should be 70+ MW there are still plans in development for more then 570MW worth of wind farms to be developed in Estonia. But still on average whole of Estonia requires about 1100MWh of electricity every hour, so in the best of winds all of the build and developing wind farms would not feed the need for electricity.
