The largest wind energy project in Lithuania and the Baltic States to date. Collectively, the wind farms consist of 44 wind turbines and have an installed capacity of 314 MW. The project can power approx. 250,000 households.
Ignitis Renewables has completed the construction of the Kelmė wind farms, I and II, consisting of 44 Nordex N163/6.X wind turbines. Located in Kelme District, this is the largest wind energy project in Lithuania and the Baltic States to date. With an installed capacity of 314 MW, the wind farms also represent one of the most significant regional projects for Ignitis Renewables, set to substantially boost local green electricity generation and contribute to green transition in Lithuania and the broader region. The wind farms can generate enough electricity to power approximately 250,000 households, reduce the country’s dependence on energy imports, and increase grid stability.
Our goal is to be good neighbours to the communities living in areas where we are developing and implementing our projects. That’s why we have been making every effort to build a relationship based on mutual trust with local authorities and residents. In addition, we are actively pursuing cooperation with local businesses, organising educational activities, covering tax liabilities, and undertaking projects important to local communities through an annual financial support fund.
Ignitis Renewables’ teams conduct public consultations for each project individually.
Wind farm projects involve a comprehensive assessment and management of environmental and social impact, including mitigating potential risks to birds and bats, visual disturbances, and noise pollution, while also addressing positive social impacts like local revenue generation, job creation, and enhanced energy independence.
Effective environmental and social management (ESM) frameworks are crucial for wind farm projects. To ensure projects comply with international standards and deliver sustainable energy benefits they encompass careful site planning, noise control, and biodiversity preservation.
