The company is also involved in the construction and maintenance of energy systems. Eesti Energia has 13 subsidiaries and four business units. In the financial year 2005/2006 the company employed an average of 8,983 people. The main raw material for energy production oil shale is extracted from mines owned by the company in Ida-Virumaa. The main office of Eesti Energia is situated in Tallinn. In order to improve its distribution network before losing monopoly rights in 2013, the company is planning a culmination of investments for years 2008-2010. For that period Eesti Energia will need additional 100-150 electricians. There are not enough skilled workers in Estonia, thus the company sees Belarus, Ukraine and Poland as main donor states of potential employees.
