The Narva Power Plants (Estonian: Narva Elektrijaamad) are a power generation complex in and near Narva in Estonia, near the border with Leningrad Oblast, Russia. The complex consists of the world's two largest oil shale-fired thermal power plants, Eesti Power Plant (Eesti Elektrijaam) and Balti Power Plant (Balti Elektrijaam).[1] In 2007, Narva Power Plants generated about 95% of total power production in Estonia.[2] The complex is owned and operated by AS Narva Elektrijaamad, a subsidiary of Eesti Energia.
