Enefit Green production data – March 2022
Enefit Green produced 86.2 GWh electricity during March 2022 or 30.0% less than in the same period last year. The result was mainly driven by -36.8% decline in wind energy production. During March 2022 the average recorded wind speed was 5.9 m/s and 5.4 m/s in Estonian and Lithuanian wind farms respectively (compared to average recorded wind speeds of 7.1 m/s and 6.7 m/s respectively in March 2021).
For the first quarter as a total electricity production increased by 22.1% to 367.9 GWh. As reported previously the recorded wind speeds for January and February were considerably better than a year ago across Estonian and Lithuanian wind farms. Therefore, the wind energy production was up 25.6% y-o-y in 1Q 2022 and acted as a main driver for the quarterly total electricity production volume.
Heat energy production decreased by 4.1% y-o-y to 56.7 GWh in March 2022 and by 1.4% y-o-y to 173.0 GWh in 1Q 2022.
Pellet production increased by 15.2% y-o-y to 13.5 thousand tonnes in March 2022 and by 11.7% to 37.8 thousand tonnes in 1Q 2022.
