Enefit Green production data – April 2024
Enefit Green produced 149.9 GWh of electricity in April, which
is 39.5% more than in the same period last year. The production
result was mainly driven by new – both newly completed wind farms
and those under construction in Lithuania, Finland and Estonia.
These wind farms contributed more than a third of Enefit Green’s
total electricity production and about 70% of the growth in
production.
The average wind speeds in April were 6.2 m/s and 6.5 m/s, in
Estonian and Lithuanian wind farms respectively (in April 2023, 5.7
m/s and 6.0 m/s, respectively). In Tolpanvaara wind farm (Finland)
the average wind speed was recorded at 7.2 m/s.
The electricity and heat energy production of the cogeneration
segment declined notably (by -38.5% and -39.8% y-o-y,
respectively). Approximately half of this change is explained by
sale of biomass assets in previous quarters. Electricity and heat
energy production in Iru power station declined by 21% and 24%
respectively, which was related to two unplanned maintenance stops
with combined duration of 5 days.
The contribution of the solar energy segment to the total
production remained subdued despite 133% y-o-y increase in
production from new solar farms. Total production of the solar
energy segment increased by a fifth to 6.3 GWh or ca 4% of Enefit
Green’s total electricity production.
“Although the wind conditions in April were better than last
year, they were still somewhat below expectations. The production
of wind farms under construction in Lithuania and in Finland, was
below expectations. In the solar segment, production was affected
by cloudy weather and, surprisingly, snow that fell at the
beginning of April in Estonia. In the second half of April there
were restrictions by the network operator in Poland. About 1% of
the total monthly production remained unproduced due to our own
reaction to negative market prices – we reduced production to
reduce related losses. In addition, we offer system services to the
network operator in Estonia, which negatively affects the amount of
production, but at the same time brings additional income to the
company. Without limiting production, Estonian wind production
would have exceeded our expectations even given the modest wind
conditions. We were especially satisfied with the availability of
the WinWind turbines," commented Innar Kaasik, Member of the
Management Board and Head of Production at Enefit Green.
