Poland: Close to 2 GW PV capacity

The company has signed a contract for the purchase of Huawei SUN2000 105KTL series inverters. The equipment will be used to carry out projects with a total capacity of 122 MW, contracted by R.POWER during the last RES auction.

Contract for the supply of Huawei SUN2000 105KTL series inverters

As part of the December 2019 wind and photovoltaic auction for projects up to 1 MW, over 11.43 TWh of electricity worth over PLN 3.6 billion was sold. Most of it will be generated by R.POWER, which has secured the rights to sell electricity for projects of a capacity of 122 MW. The company announced today that it has signed a contract for the supply of Huawei SUN2000 105KTL series inverters, which will be used in the construction of photovoltaic farms.

“In the implementation of our projects, we use the highest-quality equipment produced by industry leaders. However, we also remember local companies, which provide us with executive services, and transformer stations, structures and cabling. This model ensures high quality, and is beneficial for the development of the entire solar industry and economy in Poland,” says Przemysław Pięta, co-founder and President of R.POWER.

“R.POWER is a strategic business partner for us, and so we're even more delighted that we've managed to sign such a large contract. On a national and regional scale, this is one of the largest projects carried out by our office,” says Maciej Bąkała, Business Development Manager at Huawei.

In recent years, R.POWER has won solar auctions for a total installed capacity of almost 300 MW. In Poland alone, the company is developing a portfolio of PV power plants of over 1000 MW.

180% year on year solar growth

Poland has achieved strong growth in solar photovoltaic installations in the last two years and is expected to install 3.5GW of capacity by 2022. In particular, Poland’s capacities in solar energy rose by 180% year on year to almost 1.7 GW as of April 1, 2020 and by September 1 this value will exceed 2 GW. (HCN)
