Offshore wind in the Baltic Sea
The cross-border ELWIND project is working to strengthen Estonia and Latvia’s energy market by investing in offshore wind electricity production and hybrid interconnection. By making large-scale domestic green energy available, the project will lower and stabilise electricity prices and help ensure the countries’ energy security. The project will also accelerate the region’s green energy transition: it is estimated that the electricity generated in ELWIND wind parks would cover the need to fully electrify the entire transport sector of both countries.
