Evecon and Mirova Unveil Estonia’s Largest Solar Park, Powering 35,000 Households
In a major step toward renewable energy dominance, Estonian energy company Evecon and asset manager Mirova have launched a state-of-the-art 77MW solar park in Kirikmäe, Pärnu County. This massive project spans nearly 110 hectares—over twice the size of Estonia’s largest existing solar facility. The Kirikmäe solar park is part of the Baltic Renewable Energy Platform (BREP), a joint venture established by Evecon and Mirova in December 2022. The goal? To finance, construct, and operate a portfolio of solar parks that exceed 100MWp in capacity across Estonia.
With enough power to meet the annual energy needs of 35,000 households, the Kirikmäe solar park marks a new era for renewable energy in the Baltics. Karl Kull, CEO of Evecon, calls the project “a landmark event for the entire region,” highlighting its scale and the substantial investment it represents. Kull also noted that within a single week, Evecon and Mirova have added over 100MW of solar capacity to the local market, with the recent openings of the Imavere and Lohu mets solar parks. This surge in production accounts for about 10% of Estonia’s current total solar output—a game-changer for the country’s renewable energy landscape. Raphael Lance, head of energy transition funds at Mirova, expressed pride in contributing to the decarbonization and energy independence of the Baltics. He emphasized the strong partnership between Mirova and Evecon, which has made this milestone possible. The Kirikmäe project will feature 117,600 solar panels, each with a power range of 655–665W, supplied by Canadian Solar. With such a large-scale development, Estonia is positioning itself as a leader in the renewable energy sector in Northern Europe. #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #EstoniaEnergy #GreenEnergy #SustainableFuture #EnergyIndependence #Decarbonization #BalticEnergy #CleanEnergyRevolution #SolarInnovation
