Ignitis Renewables is initiating the development of a solar park in Taurage region of Lithuania, having secured a permit from the State Energy Regulatory Council.
The developer will site a new 22MW solar project with a 10MW wind farm that has been in operation for 10 years.
The solar park is expected to begin commercial operation in 2024.
Ignitis Renewables chief executive Thierry Aelens said the project opens wider opportunities to use the infrastructure and the land managed by the company more efficiently.
He said: “A 10MW wind farm has been successfully operating in the Tauragė region for over 10 years, and now we will establish a solar park next to a currently operational wind farm.
“This first solar-wind hybrid park in the history of Ignitis Group will contribute to the group’s goal of further expanding its green production.”
Ignitis Renewables manages four wind farms in Lithuania; its two other wind farms are in Poland and Estonia.
New wind farm projects are also being developed in Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.
