OX2 will use advanced technologies to monitor wind farms in real time, enabling rapid detection of problems and effective intervention. In addition, OX2 will provide ORLEN Group with regular reports on the performance of the wind farms, including detailed financial analyses and recommendations for maximizing revenues. This proactive, data-driven approach will help ORLEN Group make informed decisions about the operation of its wind power assets.

Impact on the Renewable Energy Market in Poland

The partnership between ORLEN Group and OX2 is significant for the Polish renewable energy market. By entrusting the management of its wind farms to a recognized expert like OX2, ORLEN Group demonstrates its commitment to optimizing its investments in renewable energies. This initiative could encourage other market players to adopt similar practices, thus contributing to the professionalization of the sector. OX2, with over 5 GW of assets under management in Europe, is well placed to bring its expertise to the Polish market. The collaboration with ORLEN Group could also pave the way for future joint projects, strengthening the position of both companies in the renewable energies sector. This professional management of wind power assets by OX2 will enable ORLEN Group to maximize the profitability of its investments, while contributing to the achievement of national renewable energy targets.
