VENTSPILS, Latvia, Nov. 6, 2024 — On November 1, 2024, Tārgale Wind Park officially opened, marking the debut of Latvia’s first major energy storage facility. Hoymiles played a crucial role in the project as a key technology provider. This project, managed by , Latvia’s largest wind energy producer, integrates wind energy generation with advanced storage capabilities, establishing a new standard for renewable energy infrastructure in the country.

The Tārgale Wind Park, initially launched in 2022 with an annual generation capacity of 155 GWh, recently incorporated a utility-scale energy storage system to enhance grid stability. Hoymiles supplied essential components for this storage system, including 3,450 kW Power Conversion System (PCS) containers on the AC side and 3.44 MWh battery containers on the DC side. This new energy storage system, with a capacity of 20 MWh, allows the park to store surplus energy generated during periods of high wind and release it back to the grid when needed. The project, a €7 million investment, reflects Utilitas Wind’s commitment to promoting sustainable energy solutions in Latvia.

The opening ceremony was attended by prominent Latvian officials, including Minister for Climate and Energy Mr. Kaspars Melnis. “It is crucial to build new green energy capacity to ensure the resilience and smooth operation of our energy systems as we prepare for a significant transition early next year. We are clearly making progress in the right direction,” he stated.

The new energy storage system marks a major milestone for Latvia, which is actively working to stabilize its energy supply while supporting sustainable development.
