Raka
Located in Järva Municipality in Central Estonia, the Raka Wind Project is planned to generate around 100 GWh of renewable electricity annually – enough to supply over 18,000 households. The project will help strengthen Estonia’s renewable energy supply and support local development.

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.
