Sopi-Tootsi Renewable Energy Area

Enefit Green is building the most modern renewable energy area in Estonia on a depleted peat deposit in Põhja-Pärnumaa County.

A renewable energy area called Sopi-Tootsi is being built near Tootsi. On the site of an old peat field, there will be 38 wind turbines and a solar power plant with around 112,000 solar panels that can capture sunlight from both sides. Together, the wind and solar park are expected to produce 750 gigawatt-hours of electricity, which is enough to cover about 10% of Estonia's current electricity needs.

Every year, the Põhja-Pärnumaa municipality receives direct financial benefits from the wind farm in accordance with the national local benefit model. Under the same act owners of dwellings in the immediate vicinity of the wind farm will also receive support.

In addition, Enefit Green enables electricity consumption with a direct line, ie without a network fee, within a radius of 6 km from the substation and up to 20 megawatts. A new road will also be built together with the wind farm, which will shorten the road to Tallinn for local residents by tens of kilometres.
