Communities
Our goal is to work reliably and harmoniously alongside local communities, focusing on partnerships, activities, and projects that bring shared benefits.
How do we collaborate?
We communicate
We focus on understanding and fulfilling the needs of our partners. We value open communication and trust in order to build lasting and mutually beneficial relationships.
We educate
Education and empowerment are key to our mission. Only through these can we ensure that communities have the resources they need to succeed.
Benefits for local communities
During the construction of the project, we will look for ways to improve the quality of life of communities, and once the offshore wind farm is operational, we will start paying a generation fee, defined in the Lithuanian legislation. These funds will then go to improving the life and economy of Lithuania’s coastal communities.
- We strongly believe in actively engaging and collaborating with the communities surrounding our renewable energy projects.
- We are striving to empower local communities and help improve their lives.
- We aim to find the best solutions that benefit the communities.

Success story
Success stories from abroad
Ostend, Belgium
It is sand, also of the golden variety, that attracts Belgians to Oostende, an important port city in the west of the country. It is here that since 2020 some 9 offshore wind projects have been in operation. They are a perfect example of how nature and technology can exist in synergy, without disrupting the natural order. Not only that, the wind farms have had no effect on the golden colours of the sands, so we can expect the Baltic sands to retain their shimmering gleam.
Vindeby, Denmark
It was in 1991 that the world’s first wind farm began operating in Denmark. It was around that time that Lithuania regained its independence. And in the 33 years since that momentous date, Denmark has not only taken the status of a pioneer in wind energy, it has also been able to generate 40% of its electricity from wind.
