VILNIUS, LithuaniaIgnitis Renewables has submitted a bid for a second 700-MW wind farm in the Lithuanian sector of the Baltic Sea. The National Energy Regulatory Council is organizing the tender.

Terms stipulate that the project must be implemented within eight years.

Last year, the Ignitis Renewables/Ocean Winds partnership was the successful bidder for the first 700-MW Lithuanian offshore wind tender. Currently, the project has a permit to use a part of the maritime area for the development and operation of renewable energy capacities.

In addition, Ignitis and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners jointly won two tenders for developing offshore wind projects in the Estonian sector of the Baltic Sea, territories Liivi 1 and Liivi 2.

“Our long-term strategy is to develop projects with reliable and experienced partners, and if we win the tender, we will immediately start the partner selection process,” said Ignitis Renewables CEO Thierry Aelens.
