The TOP5 largest wind farm projects in Lithuania over the last twenty years
According to the estimates of the Lithuanian Wind Power Association (LVEA), the country’s current electricity needs of around 13 TWh per year would be met by wind projects with an installed capacity of around 3.5 GW. In 20 years, wind energy enthusiasts have managed to develop 1.85 GW, so Lithuania still needs 1.65 GW wind turbines and parks. Today we want to invite you to take a look at the TOP5 largest wind farm projects that have been developed in Lithuania over the last twenty years or are still under development, which are very important to our energy independence:
1) Amberwind – Pagėgiai 13
The first such ambitious and large-scale wind farm in Lithuania, with a capacity of 73.5 MW, opened in 2016. The park generates the equivalent of the average annual electricity consumption of 35,000 households.
2) Ignitis Renewables (Ignitis Group) – Kelmė wind farm
The 300 MW wind is the largest wind farm currently under construction in the Baltic States and will be able to supply 250,000 households in Lithuania with electricity. The wind farm expected to start commercial operations this year.
3) UAB Windfarm – Akmenė One & Akmenė Two
ABOVO red, a German capital company, is developing a 400 MW wind farm, with the first phase of the wind farm started in 2023. The first phase of the wind farm will have a capacity of 75 MW and an annual electricity production of up to 300 GWh.
4) Enefit Green – Kelmė I, Kelmė II
The project is being developed in three phases. The total capacity of the project will be more than 300 MW and park will generate almost 1 100 GWh of electricity in total.
5) European Energy – wind park in Anykščiai, Jonava, Rokiškis and Telšiai
The company has simultaneously developed and installed wind farms with a total 306 MW capacity in 4 districts. In total these turbines can generate and supply enough electricity to the grid to power around 438,000 average households per year!
