Polish renewable energy developer R.Power has been awarded a 20 MWp ground-mounted photovoltaic project in the latest auction conducted by Germany’s Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur). The near Wolfsburg-based solar farm will benefit from a 20-year support agreement under the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), guaranteeing a fixed remuneration structure.
The first successful bid won't be the last
The project marks R.Power’s first successful bid in the German market and is scheduled to enter the construction phase in Q3 2025. The company also continues to develop additional PV and energy storage projects across Germany, signaling a broader strategic push into Western Europe. The Wolfsburg auction win builds on R.Power’s recent expansion activity in other European markets. In December 2024, the company secured power sale contracts for 85 MWp of PV capacity in Romania, and in Poland, it won capacity market contracts for 655 MW / 2.3 GWh of energy storage and over 220 MWp of PV in national tenders.

Auction win a sign of a new trend
R.Power is one of Poland’s leading independent power producers in the solar sector and is actively expanding its portfolio across multiple EU countries. Meanwhile, Warsaw-based Nomad Electric has signed its first Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract for a separate 20 MW PV power plant in Germany. The company entered the German market in 2024 and is offering a full suite of services, including EPC, operations and maintenance (O&M), and its proprietary SCADA system, Nomad NX, which provides advanced monitoring and management capabilities for power plants.

Polish clean energy firms rise as key players
Both companies' activities reflect a broader trend of Polish renewable energy firms extending their operations into high-growth European markets. In addition to its German win, R.Power recently secured 85 MWp of PV capacity in Romania and over 220 MWp of PV capacity, along with 655 MW / 2.3 GWh of energy storage, in Poland’s recent auctions. The progress of R.Power and Nomad Electric points to Poland's growing role as a center for expertise and project execution in the renewable energy sector. The growing ambition to do business beyond the domestic market is meeting with great interest in the target markets. The expertise of Polish companies is highly valued and clearly readily utilized.
