Enefit Green
By 2026 we will be the largest renewable energy producer in the Baltics and a rapidly growing renewable energy company in Poland.
Regulatory developments
- The Riigikogu adopted amendments to the Natural Gas Act. From July 2023, the owners of new wind farms will have to pay local authorities and residents wind farms compensation.
- The government used the opportunity in the regulation of national reverse auction and increased the amount of renewable electricity procured from 450 GWh to 540 GWh.
-
The new coalition set the goal that by 2030 Estonia should produce at least as much renewable energy as it consumes (the previous goal was 50% of consumption). Various measures are being implemented to accelerate the green transition.
-
The court of first instance ruled against Latvian subsidiary SIA Technological Solutions in the latter's dispute with BVKB over the fixed electricity price. We filed an appeal.
-
The parliament continued to discuss amendments to laws that should create preconditions for the construction of onshore wind farms of around 1 GW
-
The parliament passed a package of energy law amendments ,,Breakthrough Package" to accelerate the implementation of renewable energy projects
- Discussions on the development of offshore wind farms continued.
- We applied for the exit of the Šilale and Mockiai wind farms from the Lithuanian FiT support scheme
The government submitted a proposal to
Parliament to remove the restriction that significantly hinders the construction of onshore wind farms, which prohibits the construction of a wind farm closer than 10 times the height of the wind turbine to residential buildings
Rules for the certification and supervision of offshore wind farms were adopted.
Consultations are ongoing on the possible introduction of additional restrictions on the planning of solar parks with a capacity of more than 1MW.
Wind conditions remained similar to Q2 2021
Average recorded wind speed in Enefit Green wind farms, m/s
Good availabilities achieved
