Enefit Green produced 107.4 GWh of electricity in April, which is 0.8% less than in the same period last year. The production result was mainly influenced by the lower production in Estonian wind farms. New wind farms in Lithuania and Estonia and new solar farms in Estonia and Poland all helped to boost electricity production (with combined +24.1 GWh) which was otherwise weaker on like-for-like basis primarily due to slower wind speeds.
The average wind speeds in April were 5.7 m/s and 5.9 m/s, respectively in Estonian and Lithuanian wind farms (in April 2022, the average measured wind speeds were 6.4 m/s and 6.8 m/s, respectively).
The electricity and heat energy production of the cogeneration segment was also lower, decreasing by 6.2% and by 4.1% respectively compared to the same month last year. This was largely explained by 2-week planned maintenance break at Broceni CHP and pellet plant. Pellet production decreased by 24.4% compared to a year earlier to 7.9 thousand tons. The maintenance works are reoccurring annually, but with some timing shifts between weeks and months of different years.
