In the Telšiai district, the renewable energy group UAB L-vėjas is beginning construction of a 70 MW wind farm. During construction, work will be organized by The Natural Power Consultants Limited (Scotland) together with project management specialists from the Baltic Engineers group of companies (Lithuania).
The power plant park will have 13 new generation 5 MW Cypress wind turbines manufactured by General Electric (GE) with a rotor diameter of 158 m.
“We have already implemented four wind farms, but this one stands out in terms of both progress and size. For example, the revolving café of the Vilnius television tower sits at a height of 165 meters: the total height of the power plant It will be about 220 meters. This size is both a technological and a logistical challenge, “says Darius Kvedaras, CEO of BE Constructive UAB and Baltic engineers.
The Baltic Engineers group of companies will manage the project in cooperation with the Scottish company Natural Power, which has 25 years of experience in the field of renewable energy. For the Scottish company, this will be the first construction management project in the Baltic countries.
“We have a vision of a world fully supplied with renewable energy, which perfectly matches the objectives of this project. Thanks to it, even more reliable green energy will reach Lithuanian consumers,” said Ralph Spernagelis in the press release, Construction Director of Natural Power.
The countries of the European Union have pledged to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to zero and thus move towards a climate neutral economy. This ambitious goal for electricity generation will only be achieved through a 100% transition to renewable energy sources. Wind energy experts estimate that Europe will be able to generate about half the electricity it needs in the future thanks to modern wind farms.
