Energy infrastructure contractor DS1 has been tasked with constructing a 300MW PV power plant in Lithuania, billed as the Baltic country’s largest.
The project’s Israel-based developer, Energix, bought the Jonova project from European Energy earlier this year as part of its international expansion plans.

The project is a hybrid renewable energy development with a planned capacity of approximately 470MW, combining around 300MW of PV, 140MW of onshore wind and 320 MWh of energy storage.
The construction work DS1 will undertake on the project’s solar element is expected to commence shortly, with full commercial operation targeted for 2027.
DS1 said the project covers an area of 376 hectares spanning 25 separate fields spread over almost six kilometres. In total, it will include around 445,000 modules on 8,467 mounting structures, 72 central inverters, around 4,180km of DC cabling and 250km of 30kV cabling. Lithuania and its Baltic neighbours Latvia and Estonia are among Europe’s fastest-growing PV markets, with Latvia recording one of Europe’s highest relative growth rates in new utility solar capacity in the first half of 2026, according to SolarPower Europe’s mid-year EU market update.
PV Tech publisher Informa will be organising the sixth edition of SolarPlus Central & Eastern Europe in Warsaw, Poland, on 24-25 November 2026. Central & Eastern Europe has emerged as one of the most dynamic solar and energy storage markets, marking the evolution of the event from Large Scale Solar CEE to SolarPlus CEE, and addressing the hybridisation of the market throughout the two days.
