Electrum's Lithuanian Unit Completes 22-MW Solar PV Farm for Ignitis Renewables

Polish energy services firm Electrum has announced that its Lithuanian subsidiary, Everto, has successfully completed a 22-MW photovoltaic (PV) farm for local counterpart Ignitis Renewables in Taurage, a town in western Lithuania.

Everto undertook the entire project, from site preparation to the final connection to the power grid, leveraging resources from the broader Electrum group. Responsibilities included cabling, grounding, and the assembly of inverters and PV modules. The 36.5-hectare facility is now fully operational, as confirmed by Electrum last week.

“Our high qualifications and extensive experience in the installation and operation of energy equipment are confirmed by key VERT certifications and the recently obtained SSVA certification. These credentials allow us to execute large and complex renewable energy projects in Lithuania. We are proud to contribute to the development of a sustainable energy mix for our neighboring countries” said Aleksander Olszewski, Project Director at Electrum.

Currently, Everto is also engaged in the construction of a 42.2-MWp PV plant for Orlen Lietuva, a subsidiary of the Polish energy giant PKN Orlen. This facility is being developed on the grounds of Orlen's Mazeikiai refinery in Lithuania, which is undergoing modernization.

Headquartered in Bialystok, northeastern Poland, the Electrum Group specializes in development, construction, and project management across the energy and information sectors.

Meanwhile, Ignitis Group is advancing its integrated business model, which encompasses a diverse portfolio of customers along with energy storage and power grid infrastructure across the Baltic states, Poland, and Finland.
