Finally, in view of the substantial amount of aid and the long duration of the scheme, third parties have already raised concerns that the aid might crowd out existing plants and discourage investments in new plants both in Estonia and in neighbouring markets, since competing plants – contrary to the subsidised new plants – would be obliged to bear their full investment costs.
Arvestades abi märkimisväärset suurust ja kava pikka kestust, on juba muret tundnud ka kolmandad isikud, kuna abi võib halvendada olemasolevate jaamade olukorda ning muuta uutesse jaamadesse investeerimise ebaatraktiivseks nii Eestis kui ka naaberturgudel, kuna konkureerivad jaamad, erinevalt subsideeritud uutest jaamadest, oleksid kohustatud kandma oma investeeringukulud täielikult.
