RWE starts construction of photovoltaic project in Poland
After commissioning the first solar farm from a construction pipeline of more than 100 MWac in June, RWE has now started the construction of another utility-scale solar project
The institute's analysis indicates utility-scale projects are driving Poland's solar expansion and will continue to do so. Poland's cumulative installed PV capacity is expected to have surpassed 21 GW by the end of 2024, according to figures from the country's Instytut Energetyki Odnawialnej (IEO).
The country has ambitious plans to significantly expand its renewable energy, with a particular focus on photovoltaics (PV). According to the Institute for Renewable Energy (IEO), there are more than 19 gigawatts (GW) of solar projects in planning or development in Poland.
Solar energy also has high public support in national polls. A survey commissioned by the Polish Photovoltaic Association in 2022 revealed that more than half of the Poles want solar installations in their neighborhoods, while 2 out of 5 respondents think installing solar panels on all buildings is a good idea.
The cross -sector development - such as the integration of memory solutions and the coupling with other renewable energy sources - shows that Poland not only looks at solar energy isolated, but also tries to build up a future -proof, resilient and diversified energy system.
