Poland: RWE successful at renewables auctions

“These projects strengthen our position as a leading producer of green electricity in Poland,” explains Agnieszka Wojnarowska, Head of Onshore Development Europe, Scandinavia & Baltics at RWE Renewables. “We will benefit from the expertise of our well-established wind business in the realisation of the awarded photovoltaic projects. Our new solar projects are small to medium in size, but we have grouped them into clusters in order to optimise construction and operations.”

Nine of the photovoltaic (PV) plants with a total capacity of around 7 MWac are located in West Pomerania and Greater Poland. Two further mid-size solar projects with a total capacity of 14 MWac will be installed in Lower Silesia. Subject to the final investment decision, commissioning is expected in late 2023.

Polish PV Sector Deal signed

Recently, RWE has signed the Polish PV Sector Deal, a joint agreement between the Polish government, developers, associations and industry players from across the entire solar supply chain. With this agreement all parties commit to supporting the development, construction and operation of PV projects in Poland.

In Poland, RWE is currently realising 42 ground-mounted PV plants with a total capacity of 32 MW. This year a further 29 MW will be added to the construction pipeline. To continuously enhance its Polish solar business the company is looking for appropriate locations throughout the country.
