Energy company Uniper has acquired a 20.4MW photovoltaic project from Photon Energy Group. This project, located in the province of Wysokie Mazowieckie, in the municipality of Szepietewo, should reach ready-to-build status by the end of 2024. Pawel Tarczewski, head ofsolar and winddevelopment for Uniper in Poland, said: “Our pipeline of projects in Poland is growing all the time. We’re aiming for a project pipeline of around one gigawatt (GW) in the medium to long term.”

Uniper’s Transformation Strategy and Objectives

Uniper is committed to transforming the energy industry through flexible and sustainable forms of energy production. The company is investing around €8 billion in the growth and transformation of its production capacities between now and 2030. This investment includes solar and wind power projects, aiming to have over 80% of its installed power plant capacity producing CO2-free electricity by 2030. Coal-fired power generation will be phased out by 2029 at the latest.

Expansion of Renewable Energies in Europe

Uniper plans to develop 10 GW of onshore wind farms and photovoltaic (PV) power plants in key European markets such as Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Sweden, Hungary and Poland by 2030. In addition, Uniper aims to bring 3GW of renewable capacity to investment maturity by 2025, supporting Europe’s energy transition. Uniper’s strategy focuses on creating balanced, tailor-made energy solutions by transforming its existing power plants and investing in flexible, secure energy production assets.

Impact on the Polish Energy Market

The growth of Uniper’s project pipeline in Poland is a key element of its global strategy. The Szepietewo photovoltaic project will contribute not only to Poland’s energy transition, but also to the European goal of carbon neutrality. Investment in renewable energies in Poland is essential to diversify the country’s energy sources and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. Pawel Tarczewski emphasizes that the aim is to reach an installed capacity of 1GW in Poland, which represents a significant milestone in Uniper’s strategy. Uniper’s acquisition of the Szepietewo photovoltaic project marks an important step in the company’s energy transformation.
