As part of the project “Development of Wind Technology Production Complex in Kundziņsala”, an industrial area will be established in the northern part of the Kundziņsala port territory to accommodate the production of offshore and onshore wind technologies and their components.
The total planned investment is EUR 85 million, including EUR 54,884,514 from the European Regional Development Fund and EUR 9,685,503 from the Latvian state budget.
The Freeport of Riga Authority will be responsible for the construction of deep-water berths with increased bearing capacity, engineering networks, access roads, a railway crossing, new logistics infrastructure, as well as the reconstruction of existing infrastructure, shoreline reinforcement, and dredging of the water area. The Authority will also maintain the infrastructure and ensure its long-term sustainability by attracting additional private investment of EUR 40 million.
By 31 December 2029, logistics infrastructure is planned to be developed across a 30-hectare area in Kundziņsala, with at least two companies expected to lease the newly developed site. The project will foster further business development and attract investment in both the project area and adjacent territories (a total of 60–90 hectares).
To ensure transparency and adherence to good governance principles throughout the project implementation, the organisation “Society for Openness – Delna” has been engaged to provide independent monitoring.
