We survived the winter, but problems remain:

  • Energy security
  • Carbon intensity
  • Structural energy deficit

Regulatory developments

  • The European Commission published its proposals for amending the EU electricity market regulation
  • Council of the EU and the European Parliament reached a political agreement on amending the Renewable Energy Directive , among share of renewable energy from 32 % to 42 . 5 % by 2030
  • An amendment to the Electricity Market Act which requires paying a security deposit of €38.000/MVA for connecting to the grid electricity production equipment of over 15 kW entered into force
  • Legislative changes facilitating the planning and construction of onshore and Offshore wind farms entered into force entered into force

  • A legislative amendment which requires paying a security deposit of €21,630/MW for connecting to the grid electricity production equipment of over 50 kW entered into force

  • established; possibility to build hybrid solutions for electricity generation and storage were created
  • the height of the wind turbine was lifted New grid connection principles were As the total capacity of solar power plants connected to the Lithuanian electricity network exceeds 2 GW, the government introduced the possibility to limit the output of new power plants if necessary
  • An auction to find a developer for an offshore wind farm with a generating capacity of 580 –700 MW was announced
  • The ban on planning wind turbines closer to residential buildings than ten times

Q1 wind conditions were somewhat above average

Average recorded wind speed in Enefit Green wind farms, m/s

** On 2May 2023 there was an incident in Akmene wind farm resulting in a destruction of a wind turbine (see stock exchange announcement). The circumstances and causes of the incident and effect on timing of COD are being investigated.

NB! Development projects are in continuous change.

The presented information is management team's best assessment of the current status of the near-term development portfolio as of 30 April 2023

Complete view of the development portfolio

NB! Development projects are in continuous change.

* Various onshore wind and solar farm developments that are not expected to get final investment decision before 2024.

1Q 2023 Key highlights

+38 GWh (electricity production from new wind farms under construction)

* (electricity sales revenue + renewable energy support and efficient cogeneration support + revenues from sale of guarantees of origin - day-ahead and intraday purchases on Nord Pool - balancing energy purchases) / production

Example of transactions in a wind energy portfolio with baseload PPAs during a theoretical 24h period

The need for electricity purchases

Short-term production shortfalls arising from the difference between the realised wind profile and base load PPAs have to be covered with electricity purchases from the day-ahead market

Difference between day-ahead forecast and actual realized production are covered with transactions on the open supply market
