The new power purchase agreement (PPA) was signed with Polish solar developer and operator R.Power. Starting 1 January 2026, R.Power will supply 20 GWh of solar electricity annually to Play for twelve years. The telecom provider expects to save around 144,000 tonnes of CO₂ over the full contract period.

Long-term stable prices
In addition to reducing CO₂ emissions, long-term price stability is a key reason for signing PPAs. Prices fixed for 10 to 15 years significantly improve planning security in a highly volatile electricity market. For this reason, PPAs are also a central element of the climate plan launched by the Iliad Group in 2021.

Target of 50% renewables by 2035
Poland’s energy mix has traditionally relied heavily on coal, resulting in a high CO₂ content in electricity and steadily increasing costs due to carbon taxes. PPAs offer companies clear economic advantages in this context. Clean electricity from clearly defined sources enables secure, long-term cost planning. From January, Play will cover 13 percent of its electricity demand in Poland through PPAs, with this figure expected to rise to 50 percent by 2035. (mg)
