Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Ignitis Renewables have won the auction-based competitive tender for the development of an offshore wind farm in Estonia’s Liivi 1 seabed area.
Having previously won the Liivi 2 site in Estonia’s first offshore wind tender held in December, the companies view the adjacent Liivi 1 site as a natural extension of Liivi 2, allowing for development of the sites as a single project.
The maritime area of both sites is in the Gulf of Riga, northwest of Ruhnu Island and near Estonia’s Baltic Sea coast, covering approximately 193 sq. km. The project is expected to become operational some time after 2030, subject to permit approval, contracting suppliers and securing financing.
The companies have signed an agreement to collaborate exclusively on offshore opportunities in Estonia and Latvia.
