Ignitis Renewables has awarded Fugro a contract to conduct a geophysical survey at Lithuania’s first offshore wind farm web site.
In October, Ignitis Renewables, along with Ocean Winds, was confirmed because the winner of Lithuania’s first offshore wind tender after the three way partnership was chosen within the public sale in July and declared the provisional winner.
The location the place the nation’s first offshore wind farm might be constructed is situated roughly 30–36 kilometres off Lithuania’s Baltic Beach and covers an space of roughly 120 sq. kilometres.
Fugro’s designated geophysical survey vessel, the Fugro Frontier, is at present on-site within the Baltic Sea surveying the realm, accumulating 2D ultra-ultra-high-resolution (UUHR) sub-surface knowledge, in addition to bathymetry, sidescan sonar, and magnetometer knowledge.
The two,000 survey line kilometres of high-quality knowledge collected might be essential for characterising the location and figuring out potential dangers to an offshore wind farm improvement on this space, Fugro stated.
These insights will inform the choice of future geotechnical investigations and assist create an in depth floor mannequin that Ignitis Renewables will use to find out the optimum wind turbine basis design and places.

“The geophysical knowledge acquisition is a important milestone in our preparatory part, laying the groundwork essential to provoke building on schedule,” stated Vytautas Rimas, Head of Offshore Growth at Ignitis Renewables.
Scheduled to start operations by 2030, the 700 MW offshore wind farm is predicted to generate as much as 3 TWh of electrical energy yearly, which might meet as much as 1 / 4 of Lithuania’s present electrical energy demand.
