Under the contract, Goldbeck Solar Polska will deliver the project on a full engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis, covering planning, procurement and construction across three photovoltaic plants. The scope also includes high- and medium-voltage substations, cable routes and full grid connection infrastructure, including the STR LKO 400/110 kV intermediate substation.
Steffen Emmerich of GOLDBECK: “Poland rewards local presence”
In the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, the development will bring 722 MW of installed capacity onto the system. According to Goldbeck Solar Polska, it will surpass existing European solar parks in output and become the first ground-mounted PV plant in Poland to link directly to the 400 kV transmission grid operated by Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne (PSE).
The park forms part of the Virya Renewables Poland initiative, launched by Virya Energy, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and developer Optima Wind, and will encompass three plants: Sidłowo (290 MW), Kikowo (235 MW) and Dobrowo (197 MW). Goldbeck Solar will act as general contractor, with the platform expected to build a pipeline of more than 2 GW. (mg)
