The Akmene Wind Farm with a capacity of 75 megawatts (MW) and 14 wind turbines will be Enefit Green’s largest to date and will be completed by the end of 2023. In June, the company announced the construction of the Šilale II Wind Farm in Lithuania that will be completed by the beginning of 2023.
The recent investment decision for the Akmene Wind Farm will allow Enefit Green to continue implementing its ambitious growth plan and increase its wind power production. The project involves the installation of 14 wind turbines with nominal capacities of 5.3 and 5.5 megawatts (MW). The total cost of the investment will be approximately 85 million euros. The annual forecasted output of the wind farm will be approximately 258 gigawatt-hours (GWh), i.e. about a fifth of the company's current annual wind electricity production. It will cover the annual electricity needs of about 80,000 homes.
