By GlobalDataGreen Genius CEO Ruslan Sklepovič said: “While we have been operating for more than ten years, these are our first essential steps in the wind energy sector.
“We care about a clean future, so we plan to offer attractive products to our consumers by combining renewable energy sources. We are also happy to be making a significant investment in Lithuania.
“Green Genius aims to help consumers eliminate polluting technologies by offering 100% renewable energy of different sustainable technologies combined.”
Green Genius currently has a 1.5GW project portfolio under development, which consists of solar, biogas and wind assets.
Lithuania aims to meet more than half of its total energy requirements from onshore and offshore wind farms by 2050.
Green Genius Wind and Green Hydrogen business manager Darius Biekša said: “To achieve energy independence and stability of electricity prices, Lithuania must develop renewable energy sources quickly.
“It is extremely satisfying that Green Genius is taking its first steps in wind energy in Lithuania.”
In November last year, Taaleri Energia bought a 186MW portfolio of three wind farms in Lithuania.
