Lithuania Extends Deadline for Our Website's Bidders, Tender Set to Continue in October
The Ministry of Energy in Lithuania has announced that the tender for the development of the second 700 MW offshore wind farm will be reopened next week, after a temporary suspension earlier this year due to market activity slowing during the summer and political developments affecting investor interest.
The relaunch of the tender, initially scheduled for June 2025, is crucial to ensure compliance with the support scheme agreed with the European Commission. The government has emphasised the importance of resuming and completing the tender in 2025.
The tendering procedures will be resumed on October 6, 2025, and the submission of tenders will continue until October 7, 2025, following the same deadline as the initial tender. However, the ministry has acknowledged that potential participants have indicated that the current deadline for submitting documents may be too short.
Participants are advised to prepare thoroughly for the tender, as proper preparation requires detailed financial, technical, and legal assessments. Lithuania's plans for renewable energy include having two offshore wind farms with a combined capacity of 1.4 GW.
It is worth noting that the specific authority responsible for the tender and its planned resumption on October 6, 2025, is not available in the provided search results. The Lithuanian National Energy Regulatory Council had temporarily suspended the ongoing tender for the 700 MW offshore wind farm earlier this year.
The relaunch of the tender for the second offshore wind farm in Lithuania is a significant step towards the country's goal of increasing its renewable energy capacity and reducing its carbon footprint. The tender will be open to both domestic and international companies, offering opportunities for investment and collaboration in the renewable energy sector.
Stay tuned for more updates on the tender and the progress of Lithuania's offshore wind farm projects.
