AB “Ignitis grupė” (hereinafter – the Group) announces the decisions to participate in the second offshore wind tender for the rights to develop around 700 MW of offshore wind capacity in the Baltic Sea and to launch a partner (up to 49 %) selection process.  

The tender is currently announced to start on 18 November 2024. The winner is expected to be announced by the National Energy Regulatory Council, which is overseeing the process, on its website (link) by the end of April 2024.

The Group will only make a separate material announcement on the progress of the tender in the event of success and on the partnering process if a binding agreement is signed. The information provided in this announcement does not change the Group’s Adjusted EBITDA and Investments guidance for 2024.
