European Energy has unveiled what it says is the biggest solar farm built to date in the Baltics.
The solar farm in Anyksciai, Lithuania will have a capacity of 65MW when it is connected to the grid in Q4 2023.
When fully operational the solar farm will have more than 140,000 installed solar panels.
The solar panels are mounted on tracker systems, which will adjust the panels to the sunlight and therefore secure an optimal production from the panels throughout the day.
The total output of the solar farm will be 90,000MWh a year.
This corresponds to the electricity consumption of around 24,000 households in Europe.
Tadeusas Konkovskis, country manager of Lithuania for European Energy, said: “It is a milestone for European Energy to have reached so far in pushing the renewable energy development in Lithuania.
“We are happy that together with the help of our local partners in Anyksciai and the Lithuanian government, we can implement this.”
The solar farm in Anyksciai is not the only solar farm that European Energy is planning to connect to the Lithuanian grid.
European Energy also has solar farm projects in Jonava and Skuodas.
These solar farms are slated to be connected to Lithuanian national grid by 2026.
