All five wind turbines at the Purtse wind farm have been connected to the electricity grid

The Purtse wind farm has initiated partial production with all five turbines successfully connected to the grid. According to Lauri Ulmi, Purtse wind farm manager for Enefit Green, the wind farms will begin producing electricity as soon as possible. Ongoing setup and testing of the turbines will continue for several months before full capacity is achieved.

Partial electricity production is already reaching consumers. Ulmi stated that increasing wind energy production is a key factor in reducing electricity costs for consumers. The Purtse wind farm, situated in the village of Lüganuse, Estonia, represents the first new wind farm construction in the country in recent years.

The five-turbine facility is designed to meet the annual electricity needs of approximately 14,000 homes. A 32-megawatt solar park adjacent to the wind farm is also operational, with 32 turbines currently producing electricity in the spring. Enefit Green is currently developing six new wind farms, including the furthest located Purtse site.

Electricity has also been connected to the grid at the 43-megawatt Šilale II wind farm, where eleven turbines have commenced production. The 75-megawatt Akmene wind farm has also connected to the grid, with foundation work and turbine installation completed during the second quarter. This year, Enefit Green has begun construction on two new wind farms: the 80-megawatt Sopi-Tootsi wind farm in Estonia, currently undergoing land reclamation, and the 80-megawatt Kelme I wind farm in Latvia, which is under construction.
