Local benefits

Enefit Green has a strong belief that local communities must gain from the development
and all possible harmful effects must be mitigated. Our key principles of development are as follows.

The impact on the environment can be minimised with smart planning, a suitable location and good management of the park.

With every new development the possible consequences of each project on the environment must be evaluated, in addition to the ways in which the farm can affect communities.

Constructive dialogue and cooperation with local communities
will lead to the best possible results in the development of wind energy.

Benefits from the wind farm

  • Carbon-neutral electricity production will aid the climate goals of Latvia and Europe in general. Compared to producing electricity from coal, the lifetime output of the Pilsupe Wind farm will prevent the release of 25,5 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.
  • The wind farm’s production will add green electricity to the NordPool market. Increase in renewable energy production is one of key ways to help stabilise energy prices.
  • The construction of the wind farm will indirectly affect a number of other sectors and will create jobs and service provision opportunities for local businesses.
