Construction and Financing
Construction began on several major projects, including the 45 MW Raba solar park in Estonia, a 52 MW solar portfolio in Latvia, and a 69 MW solar portfolio in Poland, with substantial financing secured from Swedbank and mBank.
Portfolio Growth
Our total renewable energy portfolio has grown to 26 GW, with a risk-weighted portfolio of 10 GW, demonstrating our fast development pipeline.
Funding Achievements
We welcomed the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) as a new investor with a EUR 30 million commitment. Additionally, our EUR 230 million capital raise for 2022-2023 received the Baltic Energy Deal of the Year award.
Innovations in Solar and Wind
Sunly has advanced its solar energy solutions with innovative tracker systems and ESG-compliant panels. We also began development of our onshore wind portfolio in Poland and launched a community engagement program in Estonia to involve residents in our projects.
Energy Storage Projects
We are co-developing the Energiasalv project in Estonia (a 500 MW / 12-hour pumped hydro storage facility), and expanding our BESS projects to support our hybrid solar parks.
Commitment to Innovation
Sunly is investing 5% of our raised equity capital in innovation to drive forward renewable energy projects. Notably, our Zero Terrain Paldiski project raised 11 mEUR, reflecting strong belief in long-duration energy storage.
