Project spans four Cesis municipality parishes
Vindr Latvia plans to develop the Vidzeme wind farm in Cesis region with up to 43 turbines and a capacity of up to 309MW, according to the company.
Company representatives and the Norwegian ambassador to Latvia Ine Morenga visited the project site and met Cesis Municipality Council to discuss cooperation and outline the plans.
“We will soon start the environmental impact assessment process and invite citizens to participate in the public consultation,” Vindr Latvia head Baiba Zauere said.
The environmental impact assessment for the wind farm and related infrastructure is expected to begin early next year, with public meetings planned across Amata, Vaive, Veseliva and Skujene parishes.
Vindr Latvia said two separate wind farms were initially planned but the study area was later combined into one larger project after assessing territorial, environmental and technical factors.
The company is part of an international renewables group developing wind and solar projects in Latvia, Estonia, Norway and Sweden and is progressing a Latvian portfolio of up to 1.2GW.
