Polish utility PGE Energia Odnawialna has secured permits to build 200 MW of solar capacity in its home market. It soon plans to start building a 100 MW solar park in southeastern Poland’s Subcarpathia province.
The Eastern European country is expected to reach 10 GW of solar capacity by the end of 2022, according to the Polish research institute Instytut Energetyki Odnawialnej. This projected growth should materialize despite a strong contraction in the distributed generation segment.
The eastern European country deployed more than 2 GW of new PV capacity in the first nine months of 2021.
Built by Polish energy producer ZE PAK, the 70 MW solar plant will sell solar power to Polish telecommunications group Polsat under a 15-year power purchase agreement.
Menlo Electric said the procured modules will be primarily offered to B2C and B2B installers across Central Europe.
In the second quarter of the year, more than 763 MW of solar was deployed in the eastern European country.
The Polish energy regulator has allocated 1.2 GW of PV capacity in a procurement exercise for projects exceeding 1 MW in size and around 1 GW in an auction for projects with capacities of up to 1 MW.
In the first quarter of the year, more than 500 MW of solar was deployed in the eastern European country.
The Eastern European country is expected to add around 2 GW per year over the next five years, according to Polish research institute Instytut Energetyki Odnawialnej. By the end of 2025, its cumulative installed PV capacity should reach 14.93 GW.
Poland’s second-largest coal power producer, ZE PAK, will sell solar power to Polish telecommunication group Polsat. The $45.5 million project is being financed by a group of Polish banks.
