Denmark-based European Energy will soon commence construction on its first solar farm in Latvia, a 148 MW facility featuring 240,000 solar panels near Targale in Ventspils County. Upon completion, the project will generate 154,550 MWh annually, supplying electricity to around 40,000 European households. Expected to be one of the largest solar farms in the country, European Energy expects it to be grid-connected by the end of 2025. Latvia’s current solar capacity is 500 MW, considerably lower than Estonia’s 822 MW and Lithuania’s 1,165 MW. European Energy claims that its first solar farm in Latvia will boost Latvia’s solar generation, helping Latvia increase its renewable energy capacity from 53% to 80% by 2030.
