Sunly and Metsa to Build Baltic's Largest Solar Park
- Sunly and Metsa to build Baltics' largest solar park in Estonia, integrating solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries for a groundbreaking renewable energy project.
Sunly and Metsa are set to begin construction on a 244-MW solar project in northwestern Estonia, making it the largest solar park in the Baltics. The project, known as the Risti photovoltaic park, will consist of nearly 350,000 panels with tracking systems and is expected to go online in the first half of 2026. The park will be part of a larger hybrid complex that includes wind turbines and batteries.
The project, which will cost almost EUR 120 million, is backed by French fund Mirova and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Sunly sees this project as a significant step towards integrating different types of electricity generation and storage at the same connection point, marking a new approach to renewable energy projects in the region.
