Eveconi, the leading developer of energy parks in the Baltics, positively assessed the development that the Ministry of Climate has started this year to map the status of renewable energy projects. This allows the country to complete the green turnaround before the expected deadline.
“Last year an important breakthrough was made in the field of renewable energy,” said Karl Kull, CEO of Evecon OÜ. “A very positive development was that the Ministry of Climate started to map the status of renewable energy projects. This showed that wind farm developments are also being implemented on land on a rather large scale, and not only future ones are planned marine park developments. If Estonia continues in the same direction, the green turn will be completed by 2030.”
According to Kulli, last year turned out to be a turning point for Evecon itself, when a relatively unknown renewable energy producer became an energy company that, in addition to ongoing development projects in this region, will offer regulation in the near future of the electricity services system, and whose investments are strategically important from the point of view of the entire European market.
“We are of the opinion that security of supply can be ensured in cooperation with the private sector in an open market environment and that, to ensure Estonia’s energy security, the principle of technological neutrality should be based on the principle of encouraging arrival of appropriate equipment,” Kull said.
Four solar parks of different sizes built by Evecon have started operation this year. Paides Estonia’s first major was completed in July trackers– solution, i.e. a solar park with mobile panels with a total power of 8.74 MW. In September, Evecon opened the largest solar park in southern Estonia with a total capacity of almost 16 MW, built near the town of Tsirguliina in the Valga municipality. Additionally, Vas park with a capacity of 4.4 MW and Ringimetsa park with a capacity of 3 MW have come into operation in Mustvees.
In November, Evecon and leading French energy storage company Corsica Sole created Baltic Storage Platform, a joint venture that will build a 400 MWh battery farm complex in Estonia by 2026. It is the most powerful battery complex in the its kind throughout continental Europe.
In Lithuania, this year Evecon completed 44 MW of solar parks for generation consumers operating in the form of energy cooperatives (prosumer).
Evecon, the leading energy park developer in the Baltics based in the Estonian capital, will develop 78 solar plants with a total capacity of 1,465 MW by the end of 2024 and 20 wind parks with a capacity of 1,200 MW by the end of 2027.
