Enefit Green production data - June 2022

Enefit Green produced 62.8 GWh electricity during June 2022 or 17.5% more than in the same period last year. The result was mainly driven by 22.4% growth in wind energy production, but growth in solar (+15.5%) and cogeneration (+6.0%) also supported production growth. June wind speeds are among the slowest in an average wind year. During June 2022 the average recorded wind speed was 5.0 m/s and 4.7 m/s in Estonian and Lithuanian wind farms respectively (compared to average recorded wind speeds of 4.8 m/s and 4.6 m/s respectively in June 2021). In Estonia there was more intra-month variation in the wind speed compared to Lithuania – a few days with considerably higher than average wind speed brought along better overall production growth.

For the second quarter as a total electricity production increased by 5.7% to 270.5 GWh. In absolute terms growth was driven mostly by wind production (+4.4% y-o-y) and in relative terms by solar (+29%).

Heat energy production increased by 7.7% y-o-y to 48.6 GWh in June 2022 and by 4.3% y-o-y to 152.0 GWh in 2Q 2022.

Pellet production increased by 87.1% y-o-y to 14.4 thousand tonnes in June 2022 and by 35.2% to 35.7 thousand tonnes in 2Q 2022. The monthly year-on-year comparisons in pellet production have been volatile during 2Q 2022 due to various base effects (planned maintenance timing difference and weather related production disruption in June 2021).
