Why Līvāni wind farm?
“Līvāni” is a wind farm project in the Jersika parish of the Līvāni district is a renewable energy power plant under construction. It is planned to build up to 13 wind turbines with a total capacity of ~ 104 MW (the nominal capacity of each station is ~ 8 MW).
The territory of Jersika Parish is suitable for the production of renewable electricity using wind power. The environmental conditions meet the prerequisites for the construction of a wind farm, there is access to a high-voltage power grid, and there are no significant restrictions related to state protection that could hinder development. All of the above factors create favorable conditions for the construction of the Līvāni wind farm, which will provide the local community with additional income, a more orderly environment and infrastructure, as well as new business opportunities.
Benefits for local communities
Local residents will benefit from mandatory payments stipulated by law for community development – €2,500 per year for each megawatt (MW) installed.
Up to 90% of this amount may go to residents living less than 2 kilometers from the wind farm. The remainder will be at the disposal of the municipality to decide on support for local residents.
For households, this will mean additional income of approximately 1-3 minimum monthly wages. The support will be available for 30 years.
In addition, improvements to local infrastructure are also planned, particularly road repairs.
During the project, Vindr also plans additional support activities to improve the social infrastructure in the area affected by the construction of the wind farm.
