In contrast to 2022, the pervasive trend of 2023 was the reduction in energy prices. The reduction of prices of regulated services (heat, gas, electricity, water) meant that the Competition Authority was actively monitoring the market and issuing memo[1]randums to companies to reduce prices.
In the electricity and gas market, the fluctuation of prices was caused by weather conditions and repair works. Throughout 2023, Estonia imported more electricity than it exported.
In the postal sector, AS Eesti Post, operating under the Omniva brand, remained the only provider of services involving the home delivery of periodicals and forwarding items of correspondence in Estonia in 2023. The transition did not go smoothly, but Eesti Post was able to solve the issues in a few months.
