BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 9. Lithuania has inaugurated its most significant solar endeavor yet in the Molėtai region, with a capacity of 100 MW, TurkicWorld reports.
According to the official website of Lithuania, the park, spanning 150 hectares, boasts more than 150,000 solar modules. The project was developed by the Danish company Nordic Solaris.
This initiative aligns with Lithuania's broader strategy outlined in the National Energy Independence Strategy 2050, aimed at bolstering domestic electricity production through renewable resources.
By placing solar parks in strategic locations like Molėtai, Švenčionys, and Jonava, Lithuania enhances its solar power capacity, bringing renewable energy to more homes.
