This summer, Sunly, the largest solar park in the Baltics, at a cost of over €120 million, is due to start operating in Risti, Lääne County. A battery park costing a similar amount is also to be built nearby in 2027.
The 250-hectare Sunly solar park in Lääne County, will contain 350,000 solar panels. It took several thousand truckloads to transport them all to the site.
Installation of the panels began just under a year ago, and around 40 percent have now been installed. All are expected to be in place by August.
The 244-megawatt solar park could cover the annual consumption of 55,000 households. However, production cannot be consistent throughout the whole year, with the winter months accounting for only 5 percent of total annual production.
Sunly estimates that the €120 million solar park will be profitable if it manages to target peak consumption times in the morning and evening.
