Electrum Group strengthens its position in the Lithuanian energy market. A photovoltaic power plant in Tauragė developed in partnership with Ignitis Renewables.

Everto, a company within the Electrum Group—a leading Polish Climate Tech business—continues to strengthen its presence in the Lithuanian energy market by executing key renewable energy projects for top players in the sector. The company’s portfolio has expanded with the completion of a 22.1 MW solar power plant in Tauragė, for Ignitis Renewables, an international green energy company and one of the largest renewable project developers in the Baltics and Poland.

Electrum Group plays a crucial role in the rapidly growing renewable energy sector in Lithuania. A key element of Electrum’s international expansion is the operations of Everto, which offers a full range of services—from renewable energy project design and construction to maintenance and management—leveraging the expertise and know-how of Electrum Group, of which it is an integral part.

The Baltic region is a strategic direction for Electrum’s international growth, driving the Group to continuously elevate its standards. A testament to its high qualifications and compliance with Lithuanian construction regulations is the recently acquired SSVA (Statybos Sektoriaus Vystymo Agentūra) certification.

Everto at the heart of Lithuania’s energy transition

In Tauragė, a town in western Lithuania, the company completed the comprehensive construction of a photovoltaic farm on a 36.5-hectare site, covering the full range of activities (excluding design work) from site preparation and assembly to the final connection to the power grid. The project was carried out in cooperation with the Ignitis Group, which is developing an integrated business model to maximize the potential of green power generation by leveraging its extensive customer portfolio, as well as energy storage and grid infrastructure in the Baltic countries, Poland, and Finland.

Leveraging the resources of the Electrum Group, Everto was responsible for all underground work, including AC and DC cabling, grounding, and the execution and configuration of communication connections. The company also installed 1,204 tables, 58 inverters with a power of 352 kVA each, and 33,656 photovoltaic modules. The scope of work included building a medium-voltage line connecting the farm to a substation nearly 4 km away in Lauksargiai and developing local infrastructure, including the installation of KAS cabinets and energy analyzers.

“Our high qualifications and extensive experience in the installation and operation of energy equipment are confirmed by key VERT certifications and the recently obtained SSVA certification. These credentials allow us to execute large and complex renewable energy projects in Lithuania. We are proud to contribute to the development of a sustainable energy mix for our neighboring countries” said Aleksander Olszewski, Project Director at Electrum.

The Tauragė power plant, equipped with six transformer substations of 3,150 kVA each, generates 17 MW of electricity, which corresponds to an installed capacity of 22.1 MW, ensuring an efficient supply to the local power grid. The facility is fully operational, with construction taking place from May 15, 2023, and completed on July 11, 2024, demonstrating the high efficiency and professionalism of the Electrum Everto team.

Currently, the Group is executing Orlen Lietuva’s 42.2 MWp photovoltaic power plant project as part of the refinery modernization program in Mažeikiai. Everto’s activities align with the long-term strategy of supporting renewable energy sector development in all countries where the Electrum Group builds responsible partnerships.
