The new E energija Telšiai 68,9 MW wind farm, which will be launched in 2022, will produce 235 GWh of green electricity per year, which would cover the annual electricity consumption of nearly 80,000 households. This will be the largest wind park in Lithuania in terms of electricity out-put.
In addition to household customers, Eesti Energia will supply wind energy to business customers in order to create better opportunities for companies to make their operations more environmentally friendly.
Previously, such a long-term and large-scale green energy purchase agreement has never been concluded in the Baltics. Eesti Energia's willingness to buy the entire production of the wind farm within 10 years was actually the key factor in financing the park. The largest green energy purchase agreement in the Baltics was made possible thanks to good cooperation with E energija, SEB and GE.
Eesti Energia is the leading developer of renewable energy in the region through its subsidiary Enefit Green, but through cooperation and long-term power purchase agreements with other developers, according to Margus Vals, the member of the company's Management Board, it is possible to make an even greater contribution to Baltic countries in order to become the leading emissions reducer in Europe and at the same time, increase the region’s energy independence.
"As an international energy company, our task in every home market is to strive for smarter customer solutions and cleaner energy production," said Vals. "We want to do this in many ways, which is why we contribute both as a developer of renewable energy and as a buyer of it, in order to offer our customers even more clean energy. We are constantly looking for new ways to grow our green energy portfolio.”
