Port of Riga to host 100 MW solar plant
Lithuania''s SNG Solar is set to build a 100 MW solar plant in the port of Riga, Latvia. Upon completion, the facility will be one of the largest solar projects in the Baltics.
Lithuanian solar developer SNG Solar has signed an agreement with the Freeport of Riga Authority to construct a 100 MW solar plant in the port of Riga SNG Solar will build the 100 MW solar plant within five years, as outlined in the agreement.
The 100 MW solar facility will be constructed on a 177.2-hectare site in Spilve Meadows, on the left bank of the Daugava River in Riga. This project is part of the Freeport's plan to transform the area into a hub for solar electricity production, energy storage, hydrogen, and alternative fuel production, as well as an industrial and logistics park.
Today, on 9 September, an agreement was signed between the Freeport of Riga Authority and the Lithuanian company SNG Solar on the lease of land in the Port of Riga in the Spilve Meadows area for the development of a solar energy park.
Earlier this year, SNG Solar secured the land lease rights through an auction. The Freeport of Riga will receive 2.5% of the green energy generated, which will support port infrastructure and operations. The plant is expected to produce about 100,000 MWh of green electricity per year.
