Lugupeetavad
Esitan hoonestusloa taotleja CI NMF Estonia Sea I OÜ nimel arvamuse ja
küsimused majandus- ja taristuministri määruse „Konkureerivate
hoonestusloa taotluste hindamise tingimused ja kord, hoonestusloa
menetluse konkursi korras algatamise kord ja enampakkumise alghinna
määramise metoodika" eelnõu kohta.
Vajadusel oleme valmis oma ettepanekuid selgitama täiendavalt, sh
suuliselt.

------------ English version ---------------------
Dear Madams/Sirs,
On behalf of the applicant for a building permit, CI NMF Estonia Sea I
OÜ, I hereby submit comments on the draft Regulation of the Minister of
Economic Affairs and Infrastructure on the conditions and procedure for
the assessment of competing applications for a building permit, the
procedure for initiating the building permit procedure by competitive
tendering and the methodology for determining the starting price of the
auction.
If necessary, we are ready to clarify our proposals further.
Best regards,
Magnus Brogaard Larsen

• Currently 21 applications in the Ministry of Environment’s GIS-viewer
25 (xgis.maaamet.ee), where 17 applications have overlaps and 4 have
21 none
‒ Not including CIP’s and other future applications
• 17 applications with overlaps result in 40 areas where resubmittal is
required due to overlaps
28 • In total 44 areas across offshore wind zone with 7GW capacity equals
an average project size of 159 MW
Outcome
Outside • Time and resource intensive process for CPTRA if not altered
of MSP
• Uncertainty of achieving an area of feasible size will likely decrease
developer interest and result in lack of competition for areas and sub-
optimal allocation of Estonian offshore wind zones

• Areas clustered based on existing applications avoiding to splitting them
25 up but requiring applicants to cluster their applications to some degree
21
Outcome
• Achieving project-sized areas allow developers to apply for areas which
can stand alone, which is expected to:
28 ‒ Increase applicants per area i.e. competition
‒ Ensure smooth and fast development of Estonian offshore wind
Pros: Scale advantages and lower LCoEs + Allocation of all areas
Cons: +1 GW-sized areas could potentially disable local developers to
obtain areas alone. Local and international developers could combine
local expertise with offshore wind experience and financial capability
