PPA signed for 161 MW Onshore Wind Farm in Lithuania
European Energy has entered into a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with Mars for most of the project’s annual generation. The project is expected to generate around 490 GWh per year, and the agreement includes bundled guarantees of origin.
Based on this expected annual generation, the project is estimated to avoid approximately 120,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per year. The PPA provides long-term revenue security for the project and gives Mars Guarantees of Origin for new-build power capacity for its consumption in the region.
Skuodas Wind Farm will have an installed capacity of 161 MW. The project has not yet reached financial close, and the PPA is intended to support its commercial and financing structure. Commercial operation is planned for 2028.
The project will also support the Mars pet food manufacturing facility in Lithuania, providing a secure, long-term source of renewable electricity while reinforcing the site’s role as a key contributor to the company’s export performance.
