The world’s most efficient onshore wind farms will be installed, allowing a smaller number of more powerful wind farms to produce the same amount of electricity. In total, the power plants will produce about 7% of the electricity consumed in Lithuania. As a result, the E Wind park will make a significant contribution to achieving the country’s energy independence goals.
The development of the wind farm follows all global best practices applicable to the development of such parks. Sparsely populated areas have been selected, with the involvement of the local communities, and all mandatory consents and agreements with the neighbours have been received. A public health impact assessment and all the required environmental impact assessments have also been carried out.
E Wind will attract about a €300 million investment to the Kelmė Region. The real estate, VAT and other taxes will contribute to the municipal budget every year, while new jobs will be created. In addition, the local communities will receive direct financial support each year through long-term financial support agreements. Meanwhile, clean and cheaper electricity will reach the whole of Lithuania.

The E Wind farm will make a significant contribution to achieving Lithuania’s energy independence, as well as the goals set out in the government’s programme: to produce half of the country’s electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030.
The E Wind farm that is under development in the western part of Kelmė Municipality will house about 40 of the currently most-efficient onshore wind farms in the world, and will become one of the most modern parks in the Baltic States. The capacity of one wind farm will be upward of 6 MW, while the total capacity of the wind farm will be developed in several stages and will reach up to 300 MW. The E Wind power plant will produce about 1 TWh of electricity per year, which is equivalent to about 7% of the electricity consumed in Lithuania. As a result, it will be one of the largest parks in Lithuania.
We are seeking not only to help the country achieve its energy goals, but also to contribute to the prosperity of the region in which we operate. From the very beginning of the development of the E Wind park, we have worked closely with the local municipality, communities and other residents. We believe they are a very important part of this project and if it were not for them, we could not take this step that is so important to all of Lithuania.
