Imavere

Located in Järva and Türi municipalities in Central Estonia, the Imavere Wind Project is planned to produce around 560 GWh of renewable electricity annually – enough to power more than 100,000 households

Local Collaboration and Impact

Direct financial benefit to residents
Residents living within 2–3 kilometres of the wind park will receive direct financial compensation. For turbines planned within the Imavere Wind area, compensation is offered to households located within 2 kilometres of a turbine.
The compensation amount depends on the park’s annual production and the electricity price (estimated at 0.7–1% of revenues).

For example, a 100 MW wind farm (about 14 turbines) with an average electricity price of €80/MWh would generate around €280,000 per year in compensation — distributed between the local municipality and households.

Infrastructure development
Construction of the wind park will include improvements to local infrastructure — such as new and upgraded access roads, crossings, and utility connections — enhancing connectivity and safety in the area.

Support for local business and economy
Locally produced green electricity will strengthen the future competitiveness of energy-intensive sectors such as wood processing, forestry, and agriculture by providing access to clean energy.
The project will stimulate local economic activity, generate tax revenue, and create new job opportunities during construction and operation.

Project Area

The planned wind park area covers approximately 850 hectares.
Each turbine requires roughly one hectare of building rights.
To access the project area, existing roads and crossings will be upgraded, and new internal roads will be built to connect the turbine locations.
A new 330 kV substation and cable route will be constructed to connect the wind farm to the national grid.
