By order of Fermi Energia, the research firm Emor asked 1207 Estonians as one question between 15-22 March as part of a regular omnibus survey, whether they would prefer nuclear power plants, gas power plants, a combination of both, or neither to ensure the energy supply security of Estonia. The survey results showed that 41% of respondents would prefer a nuclear power plant, 19% felt that both nuclear and gas power plants would be equally suitable for ensuring supply security, and 13% felt that neither would be suitable for ensuring supply security. Only 7% would clearly prefer the construction of gas power plants. Every fifth respondent could not give a clear answer to this question.
Building a nuclear power plant to ensure energy security was the preferred option among both male and female respondents, as well as among Estonians and other nationalities. Nuclear power plants were also preferred over gas power plants by voters of all political parties.
Fermi Energia has been regularly commissioning studies related to the adoption of nuclear energy since 2019. The additional question in March is based on the supply security report published by Estonia's main grid company Elering at the end of 2025, according to which Estonia will need an additional 1000 megawatts of new generation capacity by 2035. The country is simultaneously developing investment measures necessary to support the establishment of this capacity.
