Bionalis, Sorainen and TEC Consulting join the Association

New members are joining the Lithuanian Wind Energy Association (LVEA), which unites the country’s wind energy sector. Bionalis, which implements wind energy construction and maintenance projects, Sorainen, which provides legal services at all stages of wind energy project implementation, and TEC Consulting, which works in the field of project management and maintenance, have joined the Association.

Bionalis has been working in the sector for almost a decade, developing wind energy projects from plan to completion. The company has already built more than 30 wind farms and is currently developing 14 more.

“The company’s range of services in the wind farm construction market is as wide as it can be. We build used and new wind farms from design through to full implementation. We also provide maintenance services for second-hand wind farms,” says Julius Lauraitis, the company’s CEO.

According to the CEO, the renewable energy sector is driven by the very rapid development of the sector, the complexity and efficiency of wind power plants and the opportunity to provide consumers with clean electricity. With the environmental impact of climate change already evident today, it is becoming an unquestionable necessity.

The company hopes that its membership of the LVEA will contribute to the accelerated development of wind power in Lithuania, in order to provide the country with clean electricity and ensure energy independence.

TEC Consulting, which has been working on wind energy projects in Lithuania and abroad since 2018, has joined the LVEA. The company provides construction project management, construction management, construction maintenance, project preparation, commissioning and debugging, as well as the organisation of in-kind tests with ESO and Litgrid to developers and builders of wind energy parks.

“TEC Consulting has contributed to wind farm construction projects in Mažeikiai, Akmenė, Telšiai, Anykščiai and elsewhere.

“Renewable energy projects are a priority area for our company. Our first steps into this sector were made in 2002, when we started using biofuel combustion technologies. We have consistently built up our expertise and in 2018 we confidently started providing services to wind and solar developers. We have been following the development of renewable energy, which should not be called alternative energy for a long time, and have been looking into hydrogen production and analysing the issues involved for some time. We believe that we will be able to provide our services to companies starting hydrogen projects in Lithuania,” says Giedrius Andriulionis, CEO of the company.

By becoming a member of the LVEA, the company hopes to establish cooperation with a wide network of members, to listen to the expectations of the sector’s stakeholders and to meet them with quality services.
