Wind power in Estonia

As of 31.12.2018, Estonia has a wind power installed capacity of about 309,96 MW.[2] All wind farms are on land, offshore farms are planned on Lake Peipus and in the Baltic Sea near the island of Hiiumaa.[3][4]

Pakri wind farm near Paldiski generating 18.4 MW.[1]

Offshore wind power

Altogether, three major projects with total capacity of 1490 MW are being planned in Estonia: a 700 MW project near the island of Hiiumaa by Nelja Energia, also a 600 MW project in Gulf of Riga by Eesti Energia and a 190 MW offshore wind farm near the western coast of Estonia by Neugrund OÜ.[5]
