The ORLEN Group has acquired a 216MW hybrid renewable energy project in the municipality of Kazimierz Biskupi in the Greater Poland region.
The project will combine an 180MW solar photovoltaic (PV) farm and a 36MW wind farm, and has an expected annual electricity output of around 315GW-hours
According to the company, this volume could supply the power needs of nearly 143,000 households. The development will use a cable pooling system, allowing both the solar and wind installations to share grid connection infrastructure. Polish entities ONDE and Neo Energy Group, which originally held the rights to build the project, have sold the associated special-purpose vehicles to ORLEN New Power, the ORLEN Group’s onshore renewables division.
ONDE will serve as general contractor for the project, while Neo Energy Group will continue to manage construction. Energa Green Development will be responsible for monitoring the construction on the ORLEN Group’s behalf. ORLEN management board president Ireneusz Fąfara said: “With this acquisition, we are adding a 216MW project to ORLEN’s renewable energy portfolio.
