The largest solar panel rooftop installation in the Baltic States was recently opened on the rooftop of the RETAL factory in Lentvaris — around 10 kilometres from the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius. The installation will generate 1.4 megawatts of power.
The solar projectwas installed by I+D Energias Lithuania, a Lithuanian/Spanish partner of Sun Investment Group (SIG), one of the biggest solar energy investment companies in Eastern Europe.
According to RETAL, a manufacturer of sustainable PET and rPET packaging, the newly-installed facility positions it amongst the first multinationals operating in the Baltic States to adopt renewable energy as their main source of electricity, and further bolsters Lithuania’s green energy credentials.
