Lithuania’s Ministry of Energy is preparing to announce a tender to develop an offshore wind farm.
The ministry submitted drafts of the government’s resolutions for public consultation, covering the location in the Baltic Sea where a 700MW offshore wind farm would be developed, as well as the requirements for the bidders.
Under the plan, the offshore wind farm will be developed around 36km from the shore and installed by 2028, providing up to a quarter of Lithuania’s total electricity demand.
The proposed resolution comes with requirements for participants’ financial capacity, experience in carrying out projects of this type, obligations to contribute to environmental protection and the well-being of the coastal community.
