Estonia-based Sunly, a renewable energy company, began work this autumn on three solar park projects in Latvia, with a total capacity of 225 MW. The Valmiera project near Matīši village will feature a 54 MW solar park, while a 90 MW project in Dagda Parish, Krāslava. The third project with a capacity of 81 MW near the village of Barkava in the Madona region. These parks will integrate hybrid systems combining solar, wind energy, and storage (BESS) to improve energy predictability and reduce costs.These solar parks are designed to power over 118,000 households annually. These projects are part of Sunly’s long-term strategy in the Baltic region and Poland, supported by €300 million (~$326.38 million) in funding from Rivage Investment, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, and Norway’s pension fund, Kommunal Landspensjonskasse.
