Enefit Green has taken final investment decision on 90 MW Kelme 2 wind farm in Lithuania. Kelme 2 is the second stage of the three-stage Kelme development project and part of Enefit Green’s previously communicated project pipeline to increase its installed electricity generation capacity to 1,900 MW by the end of 2026.
Kelme 2 wind farm is expected to be commissioned in 2025 and is expected to generate ca 315 GWh electricity per year. Enefit Green will invest nearly 150 million EUR in this project. In order to secure the necessary investments for the construction of the wind farm, Enefit Green has earlier entered into long-term PPAs covering part of the expected production during first 5 to 7 years of operation of Kelme 2 wind farm.
Including the Kelme 2 wind farm, the number of wind farms under construction by Enefit Green will increase to six with total capacity of 615 megawatts to be added upon completion. In addition, five solar farms with a total capacity of 100 megawatts are under construction.
