Ignitis Renewables Surges Ahead With 4 GW Expansion by 2030
Ignitis Renewables, a leading European renewable energy company, has made significant strides in its expansion plans. The company aims to reach 4 to 5 gigawatts (GW) of installed renewable energy generation capacity by the end of this decade. Recent developments include the completion of the Kelme wind farm 2 in Lithuania and the addition of the Utilitas Eleja-Joniškis onshore wind project to the European Commission's list of cross-border renewable energy projects.
The 200 MW Kelme wind farm 2, comprising 28 turbines, was successfully completed in June 2025. All turbines were sourced from Nordex. This project, along with the 114 MW Kelme wind farm 1 completed in April 2025, will together supply clean energy to up to 250,000 homes. Meanwhile, the 137 MW Silesia wind farm 2 in Poland was completed by Ignitis Renewables in August 2025 at a cost of EUR 240 million.
In the Baltic region, the Utilitas Eleja-Joniškis onshore wind project was added to the European Commission's list of cross-border renewable energy projects in September 2025. This project, expected to start operations by 2028, will be connected to the 330 kV Viskaļi - Mūša grid line. However, Lithuania's second 700 MW offshore wind tender was cancelled after only one developer submitted a bid.
Ignitis Renewables continues to expand its renewable energy portfolio, with significant projects coming online in Lithuania and Poland. The company's ambitious plans to reach 4 to 5 GW of installed capacity by 2030 are on track, contributing to the region's clean energy transition.
