The ELWIND offshore wind park will be an important project for the Baltic Sea region with large investments, and economic and social impact. The construction of the two territories of the Latvian and Estonian wind park will provide electricity capacity of at least 1000 megawatts and will create at least 2800 new jobs in Latvia.

The project now begins cooperation with the Dutch company Ventolines. As part of the environmental impact assessment on nature, animals, and socio-economic impact, including shipping lanes, will be analyzed. ELWIND aims to obtain all the technical data to ensure the responsible and sustainable development of the project. Research is expected to start this year and will last until 2026, with special attention to the national defense capabilities and taking the necessary compensation measures.

Ventolines is an integrated renewable energy project development service provider with experience with both Baltic and North Sea projects. The total amount of the contract is EUR 300 000, excluding VAT.
