2024 was a year of change and growth for
Alexela. We have reached an evolutionary
phase, where we are moving away from
our previous business models towards
new solutions. This transition will require
significant investment and continuous
learning, but it is essential if we are to
be the region's leading energy solutions
provider in the future. The validity of this
direction is demonstrated by the growth
in our market share and the positive customer
perception of Alexela's image.
We have a balanced energy
portfolio and are developing
solutions for the futuure
Estonia needs a balanced energy portfolio,
where renewable energy is complemented
by dispatcheble capacity, energy
storage and functioning connections with
neighbouring countries. Alexela is contributing
to this by developing Estonia's
first bio-LNG supply chain, investing in
managing the flexibility of electricity
supply with our customers, contributing
to the Paldiski pumped-storage hydropower
project and building infrastructure
that reduces dependence on Russia.
In 2024, we continued to move from a
product-led to a service-led business
model, offering customers complete and
smart energy solutions at home, en-route
and at their destination. We grew our refuelling
network, expanded our energy
services and electric vehicle charging
network, making the Smart Electricity
solution available free of charge to our
electricity customers. In addition, we invested
in renewable energy by developing
solar and battery parks and hydrogen
refuelling solutions.
We are a growing energy
partner for the regioon
In 2024, we expanded our operations in
Latvia and Finland. Our subsidiaries Rohe
Solutions Oy in Finland and SIA Alexela in
Latvia built new Western-based supply
chains and provided sustainable energy
solutions. The Hamina LNG terminal in
Finland has become an important regional
hub, helping to secure independent gas
supplies in both, Finland and across the
Baltics.
We also finalised the establishment of
the region's first westbound LPG supply
chain – Alexela's parent company AVH
Group owns the Riga terminal SIA Latvija
Propāna Gāze, securing a new supply
chain for the whole region.
We maintained a strong
financial position
Despite the difficult economic environment,
we maintained a strong financial
position and invested over ten million
euros in innovative energy solutions.
Alexela's market share in electricity sales
increased to 19.7%, strengthening our
position as the second largest electricity
seller in Estonia.
The volatility of energy prices and the
high Euribor affected the market, but we
managed to maintain an efficient cost
structure.
Investing in the economy,
education, and culture
Our values - increasing the well-being of
the Estonian people, ensuring security
of supply, reasonable energy prices, supporting
education, culture and sport, and
responsibility - are not just words, but
principles that we live by every day.
We contributed €182 million in taxes paid
to the Estonian economy and supported
education, culture and sport with more
than €500 thousand, including additional
activities to activate them.
We were awarded the title of Estonian
Friend of Culture and Supporter of Music,
and a Kantar Emor survey confirmed that
Alexela is the most spontaneously recognised
energy company in Estonia and one
of the most desirable employers.
In addition, we stood up for the interests
of Estonian consumers by helping to prevent
the introduction of frequency reserve
fee, which would have meant higher
electricity prices for both, consumers and
producers.
Looking to the future
There is an ongoing fundamental change
in the energy sector. Current solutions no
longer work, but new ones are not yet fully
ready. To make the transition smooth and
sustainable, we need strong partnerships
and a long-term vision. Every decision by
businesses and individuals will have an
impact on the future- energy is not just
the price, but also the values that create
a stronger and more independent society.
Together we will create a better energy
future!
