On October 17, in Telšiai County, Lithuania, the cornerstone was laid for a wind farm comprising 20 modern wind turbines. The construction of the wind farm is being managed by Utilitas Wind, which will hand over the completed project to Latvenergo.
Among the attendees at the cornerstone-laying ceremony were Kaspars Melnis, the Minister of Climate and Energy of Latvia, and Daiva Garbaliauskaitė, the Deputy Minister of Energy of Lithuania. Together with the CEOs of Latvenergo, Mārtiņš Čakste, and Utilitas, Priit Koit, they placed a “Letter to Future Generations” in a time capsule, symbolizing the Baltic states’ commitment to a shared journey towards energy independence and a sustainable green energy system.
The Telšiai wind farm is expected to generate 420 GWh of electricity annually, sufficient to meet the energy needs of more than 125,000 households. The 20 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 6.2 MW, are being supplied, installed, and maintained by Vestas, the world’s leading wind turbine manufacturer. Merko Statyba UAB has already begun constructing the substation, access roads, cabling, turbine foundations, and assembly area. The wind farm is slated for completion in 2026.
