History
The oil shale retorting plant (the UTT-3000 refinery) was built in the late 1970s next to the Eesti Power Plant to provide shale oil as a start-up fuel for the power plants. The plant was commissioned in 1980. Since beginning of 1990s, the oil plant operated as a part of the Narva Power Plants. In September 2007, the oil plant was separated from the power plants and the separate subsidiary of Eesti Energia was established.
