ELWIND is a cross-border project to be built together by Latvia and Estonia, whose governments started discussions to develop it in December 2019 and signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to build the offshore wind farm.
In 2022, the two governments pinpointed the locations in their respective parts of the Baltic Sea where the joint project will be built.
The ELWIND project was initially planned to have a total capacity of between 700 MW and 1,000 MW.
However, in November last year, the Latvian government announced that the planned target capacity of the offshore wind farm on the Latvian side alone would be up to 1,000 MW.
