Lithuania’s first offshore wind farm was put out to tender without an offer for state support and will operate under market conditions, with the developer to carry out site investigations and surveys at its own expense.
The site where the country’s first offshore wind farm will be built is located approximately 30–36 kilometres off Lithuania’s Baltic Sea coast and covers an area of approximately 120 square kilometres.
Subject to obtaining the relevant permits, contracting suppliers and securing financing, the project is expected to become operational by 2030.
The 700 MW offshore wind farm is estimated to be able to generate up to 3 TWh of electricity, which would meet up to 25 per cent of Lithuania’s current electricity demand.
