A 174 MW solar power plant has begun commercial operations in Latvia, according to pv magazine. The Tume solar farm was developed by Lithuanian green energy company Ignitis Renewables in the Tukums municipality.
Ignitis Renewables described the project as one of the largest in the Baltic states. The site spans 302 hectares, includes more than 282,000 solar panels and is expected to produce enough electricity to cover the annual demand of 85,000 households.
The company said the project is its first solar installation to use trackers that follow the sun throughout the day, and its first to be primarily maintained by in-house specialists.
Ignitis Renewables is also developing a 107 MW/215 MWh battery energy storage system at Tume. Construction is underway, and the storage facility will be integrated with the solar farm once completed.
Chief executive Frank Oomen said the project strengthens local renewable electricity generation in Latvia, improves regional energy security and supports the Baltic energy transition.
Tume is Ignitis Renewables third solar project in Latvia. The company switched on the 94 MW Varme photovoltaic project in July 2025.
Latvia’s cumulative solar capacity exceeded 1.5 GW in August. The country has recorded a strong year for new solar deployment, adding more solar in the first half of the year than in any previous full calendar year.
Solar was Latvia’s largest source of electricity generation in May, June and July, according to figures from transmission system operator Augstsprieguma tikls. Research by Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE found that the country set an EU record for the share of solar in its domestic electricity generation in June.
