Ignitis Proposes Delaying €3 Billion Curonian Nord Offshore Wind Project in Lithuania
Lithuanian energy company Ignitis Group has proposed postponing development of the 700 MW Curonian Nord offshore wind project in the Baltic Sea. Announced October 21, the project represents an estimated investment of approximately €3 billion. Ignitis and its renewable-energy subsidiary submitted alternative development scenarios to Lithuania’s Ministries of Energy and Finance following recommendations from the National Audit Office. The companies said adjusting the implementation schedule would preserve the project’s development value while allowing construction to resume under more favourable market, financing or technological conditions. Ignitis continues preparatory work required to obtain a construction permit in 2027. The proposal does not constitute project cancellation, and a revised construction or commissioning timetable has not been announced.
