Ignitis Renewables, a global inexperienced power firm, has ready an environmental affect evaluation (EIA) programme for the primary offshore wind farm in Lithuania. The EIA itself will probably be ready on the premise of this programme, mentioned the corporate.
“Once we develop renewable power tasks, the atmosphere is inevitably affected, however to realize a steadiness between clear electrical energy era and nature safety, we’ll take all acceptable measures to minimise the environmental affect of the offshore wind farm, and when the affect can’t be averted, we’ll implement compensatory measures to enhance the state of the atmosphere,” mentioned Anne-Marie Roikjær, Mission Director for offshore wind farm.
In response to Lina Žibienė, Head of Setting and Allowing at Ignitis Renewables, there are a number of aims of the environmental affect evaluation.
First, it’s essential to determine and assess the affect of the deliberate wind farm on particular person environmental parts, i.e. land floor and areas beneath, air, water, panorama, and biodiversity, with specific consideration paid to protected animal, plant species, and areas, mentioned Žibienė.
As well as, you will need to assess the affect on public well being and different social facets, in response to Žibienė.
The EIA report was commissioned by Ignitis Renewables. The evaluation will probably be carried out and the report will probably be complied by the Coastal Analysis and Planning Institute. The ultimate determination on the environmental affect of the offshore wind farm is predicted to be obtained by the tip of 2025, mentioned Ignitis Renewables.
The report will assess the offshore wind farm deliberate within the Baltic Sea, whose designated maritime space is roughly 120 sq. kilometres. The mission space is positioned at the least 36 kilometres away from the shore, about 60 kilometres from the Port of Klaipėda.
The depth ranges from 28 metres to 48 metres and the entire website falls throughout the zone of common annual wind speeds of 9–10 m/s. The potential variety of wind generators to be erected will probably be as much as 55, with a most peak of as much as 350 metres, Ignitis Renewables mentioned.
As a reminder, the wind velocity and different measurements essential for the implementation of the mission in addition to geotechnical and geophysical surveys of the seabed in addition to different preparations, which will probably be used in the course of the EIA course of, are at the moment in progress.

The Lithuanian authorities held the public sale, the nation’s first for an offshore wind mission, final yr. In July 2023, the federal government provisionally chosen the three way partnership between Ocean Winds and Ignitis Renewables. Three months later, it formally confirmed the three way partnership because the developer of Lithuania’s first offshore wind farm.
Scheduled to start operations by 2030, the offshore wind farm may have an put in capability of 700 MW and 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.
