Seventy one percent of respondents support continuing preparations for the construction of a new-generation nuclear power plant in Estonia, according to a survey.

Compared to the previous survey carried out in April 2025, support for the introduction of nuclear energy has increased and is now at its highest level across the entire survey period since 2019. At the same time, the share of opponents of nuclear energy has continued to decline.

According to the latest survey, 17% of respondents oppose the development of nuclear energy, split almost evenly between “strong” opponents (8%) and those who are “rather” opposed (9%). A clear position could not be determined for 12% of respondents.
