RWE is constructing solar farms with a total capacity of more than 100 megawatts (MWac) across Poland.

RWE has commissioned the first project — the Bojanowo East ground-mounted photovoltaic farm with a capacity of 8.5 MWac located in the Wielkopolskie region in central Poland. RWE has installed more than 17800 solar modules to supply green electricity to more than 4,300 Polish households annually.

Katja Wunschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia: “Bojanowo East is a great milestone for RWE’s solar expansion in our Polish core market. It is the first project in a whole series of solar parks we are currently building across the country to be put into operation.”

The solar projects that RWE is currently building in Poland are spread over almost all parts of the country and range from ground-mounted systems with less than one MWac to large solar parks with more than 10 MWac.

RWE is working with the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan to carry out a biomonitoring pilot project to study conditions for biodiversity to create solar farms.

RWE Renewables Poland operates wind farms with a total installed capacity of 541 MW and total solar capacity of 54 MWac. RWE is developing its  first Polish offshore project, which is the F.E.W. Baltic II offshore wind farm.
