Molėtai Solar Park is located in a hilly area, where there are many opportunities to catch the powerful rays of the sun at different times of the day. The solar park was built using Nordic Solar’s patented double-sided solar panel modules, which generate electricity from both sides. In addition, the development of the solar park included several initiatives to promote biodiversity in the area.
The Molėtai solar park was connected to the grid in April, in cooperation with the Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator Litgrid.
“Lithuania has set ambitious energy goals – increasing national electricity generation to complete energy independence. We are moving towards this goal and doing our best to have a sustainable and high added value energy industry. We are happy that after the start of electricity production in the parks of Molėtai, Švenčioni and Jonava solar power plants of Nordic Solar, the national installed power of solar power plants will increase, and renewable energy will be able to reach more households,” said Deputy Minister of Energy Daiva Garbaliauskaitė.
Solar energy is the fastest growing energy source in the EU. Its faster implementation helps to reduce the price of electricity and dependence on imported fossil fuels.
Lithuania has set ambitious goals for renewable energy resources. The national energy independence strategy sets the goal that by 2030 4.1 GW of solar power plants would be installed in Lithuania, and by 2050 this number would reach 9 GW. In 2022-2023 alone over 800 MW of renewable energy sources (RES) plants were installed in electricity distribution networks, more than in the previous 6 years. In the coming decades, the development of renewable energy sources will gain even greater momentum, enabling the acceleration of fundamental changes in the country’s energy system.
Currently, the installed capacity of solar power plants in the Lithuanian electricity system is 1.3 GW, which means that approximately one third of the 2030 target has already been implemented. set goal.
