The Lithuanian government held the auction, the country’s first for an offshore wind project, last year. In July 2023, the government provisionally selected the joint venture between Ocean Winds and Ignitis Renewables. Three months later, it officially confirmed the joint venture as the developer of Lithuania’s first offshore wind farm.
Lithuania plans to have two offshore wind farms with a combined capacity of 1.4 GW. Both projects would provide about half of the country’s current electricity demand, according to the ministry.
