Poland, Warsaw: RWE is expanding its Polish solar business. After commissioning the first solar farm from a construction pipeline of more than 100 MWac in June, the company has started the construction of another utility-scale solar project in the country. Roughly 40000 ground-mounted photovoltaic panels will be installed in the municipality of Deszczno, Lubusz voivodeship, in Midwestern Poland. Borek solar project consists of three solar farms (10 MWac/10 MWac/4 MWac) with a total installed capacity of 24 MWac. The project will be able to supply green electricity to around 10500 Polish households per year.
Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, commented: “Solar power plays an increasing key role in the Polish energy transition. Borek solar project is the next milestone in our journey to leverage Poland’s sunny conditions with great sites for solar energy. As a major player in the Polish renewables market for more than 15 years, RWE is keen to further develop, construct and operate solar and wind farms in Poland.”
RWE Renewables Poland operates wind farms with a total installed capacity of 541 MW and solar plants with a total capacity of 54 MWac. The company is developing further projects and has more than 100 MWac of solar capacity under construction in this market. It is developing its first Polish offshore project, the F.E.W. Baltic II offshore wind farm.
