RWE is currently building solar farms with a total capacity of more than 100 MWac across Poland, resulting primarily from success in the country’s latest auction for renewables. The Polish regulator, Urząd Regulacji Energetyki has awarded RWE 31 solar projects with a total capacity of 102 MWdc, corresponding to 84 MWac. Most of the projects have received all permits and are scheduled to start construction in early 2025.
Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, commented: “This … underlines our intention to further expand the use of solar energy in Poland, where we already have 91 MWac of solar capacity in operation and more than 100 MWac under construction today.”
RWE is a key player in the Polish renewables market. RWE Renewables Poland operates wind farms with a total installed capacity of 541 MW and solar parks with a total capacity of 91 MWac. Further green projects are under development. RWE is currently developing its first Polish offshore project, the F.E.W Baltic II offshore wind farm.
