The ORLEN Group, a European renewable energy firm, has brought a 42.2 MW solar farm online at its Mažeikiai refinery grounds in Lithuania. The project cost nearly €35 million (~ $40.36 million), including €2.5 million (~$ 2.88 million) support from the European Union’s Modernisation Fund. It features nearly 68,000 bifacial photovoltaic modules, each rated at 620 W and spans around 60 hectares. The modules capture sunlight on both sides improving output even in lower-light conditions. The Polish contractor Electrum has constructed the facility. It is expected to generate 45 GWh of electricity each year. This output is expected to meet 7% of ORLEN Lietuva’s energy needs and cut electricity costs by approximately €4 million annually.
