At the request of the Ministry of Finance, Statistics Estonia analyses the electricity consumption of blocks of flats to identify empty dwellings across Estonia. This is a further step towards tackling the problem of empty blocks of flats at national and municipal level.

How many blocks of flats are there in Kohtla-Järve city and Lüganuse and Valga rural municipalities in which all or most dwellings are unoccupied? Can this question be answered by looking at electricity consumption data? We prepared an analysis, using place of residence registrations and electricity consumption data, to determine how many of the flats in the blocks of flats in Kohtla-Järve city and Lüganuse and Valga rural municipalities are empty.
