PGE Energia Odnawialna, a PGE Group company, will build two one-megawatt photovoltaic farms near the Turów energy complex. Both installations will be completed by the end of May 2023. The investments will be co-financed from EU funds.

The president of the management board of PGE Energia Odnawialna Marcin Karlikowski announced that the goal of the PGE Group’s PV Program is to strengthen it as the leader of the RES market in Poland.

” It is equally important that by building the PV Zawidów 1 and PV Zawidów 2 farms, for which we obtained EU funds, we are actively involved in the process of energy transformation of the areas around the Turów Mine and Power Plant”, emphasized the president.

PGE’s installations will be launched as part of the South-Western Energy Cluster. Apart from PGE Energia Odnawialna, the municipalities of Zgorzelec, Sulików and Zawidów, as well as two centers in Zgorzelec participate in it: the Multispecialist Hospital of SPZOZ, Water and Sewerage Company “NYSA” and Municipal Services Enterprise in Zawidów.

The aim of the project is to build two farms and twenty photovoltaic micro-installations with a total capacity of over 2.5 MW in the next few years in the Zgorzelec poviat, one solar installation and 3 air heat pumps.

According to preliminary estimates, the annual production of electricity from these new sources will exceed 2.6 GWh, which will meet the demand of approximately 2,700 households and reduce CO2 emissions by approx. 2 thousand tons.

PGE Energia Odnawialna, a company belonging to the PGE Capital Group, is currently the largest producer of green energy in Poland. It has 17 wind farms, 29 hydropower plants, 4 pumped storage power plants and 5 solar farms. The total installed capacity of all facilities is 2.33 GW.
