We are the largest wind energy producer in the Baltics
Enefit Green owns 22 wind parks in Estonia and Lithuania with the total of 165 wind turbines. The total capacity of all wind park is 398 MW, which yearly produce about 1 TW/h of electricity.
This amount could supply more than 330,000 homes with an average consumption per year. Compared to electricity produced from oil shale, approximately 940,000 tons of CO2 per year are left unemitted at this production volume.
Enefit Green owns 22 wind farms in Estonia and Lithuania with a total capacity of 397.75 MW.
Enefit Green's biggest wind park is located in Šilute, Lithuania, and it was completed in 2016. The wind park consists of 24 2.5 MW wind turbines with the total capacity of 60 MW. Its prognosed annual capacity is 230 gigawatt-hours of electricity, which can supply the annual electricity needs of more than 76,600 homes.
The largest park in Estonia is Aulepa Wind park in Lääne County with a total capacity of 48 MW. Aulepa's 16 wind turbines produce about 80 gigawatt-hours of electricity which can supply about 26,600 regular homes for one year.
A wind turbine starts working at an average wind speed of 3.5 m/s
Good wind energy production is obtained at 10+ m/s, and the ideal wind speed for wind energy production is approx. 12-13 m/s
In extreme conditions with winds of approx. 25 m/s and stronger, wind turbines are stopped to spare them
Wind energy is what creates the basis for the company's long-term growth. We have 19 years of experience that we can use for building wind parks in our home markets. We have developed an ambitious growth plan for wind energy developments, consisting of several projects.
