RWE solar expansion in Poland

RWE announces the inauguration of its new photovoltaic power plant in Bojanowo East, Poland.
With a capacity of 8.5 MWp, this plant is the first in a series of solar initiatives that RWE is implementing across the country.
This development is part of a wider strategy to expand the company’s solar capacity in Poland, a strategic market for renewable energies.

Expansion of Solar Projects in Poland

RWE is currently deploying several solar projects in Poland, covering a variety of configurations ranging from ground-mounted installations of less than 1 MWp to large solar parks of over 10 MWp.
The projects are scattered across different regions of the country, exploiting favorable sunny conditions.
The Bojanowo East power plant, equipped with over 17,800 photovoltaic panels, is designed to supply green electricity to around 4,300 Polish households every year.
This project represents a significant step forward in the expansion of RWE’s solar capacity in Poland.

Innovation and Environmental Initiatives

In parallel with its expansion projects, RWE is collaborating with the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań on a biomonitoring pilot project.
This program aims to examine conditions favorable to biodiversity in photovoltaic power plants.
RWE is implementing pro-environmental measures at ten selected sites, to create habitats beneficial to local fauna, particularly insects.
This approach demonstrates the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental protection in its solar projects.

RWE and Energy Transition in Poland

RWE plays a central role in Poland’s renewable energies sector.
In addition to its solar projects, the company also operates wind farms with an installed capacity of 541 MW and is developing new green projects.
Among these, the F.E.W. Baltic II offshore wind farm marks RWE’s first offshore project in Poland.
This diversification underlines RWE’s ongoing commitment to supporting the energy transition and meeting the country’s growing need for renewable energies.

Solar Expansion Perspective

The expansion of RWE’s solar capacity in Poland is a key indicator of the growth of the renewable energy sector in the region.
With ongoing projects that incorporate environmental innovations and academic collaborations, RWE is positioning itself as a major player in Poland’s energy transition.
The deepening of solar capacities and the implementation of sustainable measures illustrate the company’s strategic direction in the long-term promotion of renewable energies.
