Elwind
ELWIND is a joint offshore wind project between two Baltic neighbours ̶ Estonia and Latvia. With this cross-border project, the states are aiming to raise cooperation in energy field into new heights by taking an important step towards increasing energy and climate neutrality and energy security in the region.
Work underway to build Estonia''s largest wind farm
Altogether 38 wind turbines will be erected in the Sopi-Tootsi wind farm and the total capacity of the park will be 255 megawatts. The production of wind turbines is nearly 680 gigawatt-hours per year, which covers nearly 40 percent of Estonian domestic consumers'' electricity needs and 8.5 percent of total electricity consumption.

4 FAQs about [Domestic wind turbine Estonia]
Are offshore wind farms a viable solution in Estonia?
Onshore and offshore wind farms and solar panel complexes are fast and affordable solutions in Estonian conditions. By 2050, for example, we must increase the capacity of offshore wind farms by twenty times. Wind energy is reliable, affordable and clean energy.
How much wind power does Estonia have?
Total installed wind power was 149 MW at end of 2010 and grew to 303 MW in 2014 and 329 MW in 2016. Record production of wind parks is 279 MW in 2014. Estonia has target of 14% (1.5 TWh) and total renewable electricity 1.9 TWh (17.6%). According to the national Energy Action Plan (2020) planned shares are onshore 9% and offshore 5%.
How many offshore projects are planned in Estonia?
Three major offshore projects are planned in Estonia, with a total capacity of 1490 MW: a 700 MW project near the island of Hiiumaa by Nelja Energia, a 600 MW project in Gulf of Riga by Eesti Energia, and a 190 MW farm near the western coast of Estonia by Neugrund OÜ.
What is offshore wind energy?
Offshore wind energy is an environmentally and human-friendly way to produce green, affordable energy and to increase energy independence. ELWIND environmental impact assessment program for the ELWIND Estonia area has been submitted to the TTJA.
