⚡️ Creating Value for the Lithuanian Economy with Our Partners ⚡️ By mid-next year, a €41 million, 29.5 MW wind farm will rise in the Akmenė district. The green energy generated by the five wind turbines, each with a capacity of 5.9 MW, will not only supply us but also power other companies operating within the Akmenė FEZ. Most importantly, once operational, the wind farm will reduce CO2 emissions in Akmenė by an impressive 30-40% 🌱. This will significantly contribute to Akmenė FEZ's goal of becoming the first climate-neutral economic zone in Lithuania, leading in sustainable development and green innovation. The wind turbine project in Akmenė FEZ is being implemented by our group company, VMG Energy, in collaboration with the asset management firm BRAITIN. The project has attracted significant interest, with contributions from 20 investors. In addition to the investors' funds, a €28.7 million loan from Šiaulių Bankas will be used for the construction of the park. We extend our gratitude to all our partners and investors for their support of this project. We believe that our shared vision for green energy development will play a crucial role in shaping a sustainable future for Lithuania. 🌍 For more details on the project, please see the link in the comments.
