Danish investor European Energy has officially opened a 44.7 MW Pomerania Wind onshore wind farm complex located in five communes in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship.
European Energy A/S currently has over 500 MW of operational portfolio in onshore wind and photovoltaic farms in 15 countries on 3 continents, including Poland. The Danish investor has just launched the Pomerania Wind complex, built at a cost of €73.15 million in the West Pomeranian region.
Pomerania Wind consists of five local wind farms – four new ones: WF Kołobrzeg, WF Białogard, WF Siemyśl, WF Drawsko II and WF Grzmiąca, which has been operational since 2021.
“Poland is a very interesting country for European Energy. It has the potential to become a significant hub for renewable energy in Europe. We want to be part of that process in Poland. We also hope to contribute to the development of the new Power-to-X technology in Poland, producing e-fuels using electricity. In this area, European Energy is one of the world’s leading companies producing green hydrogen and e-methanol”, he says, vice-president of European Energy A/S. Jens-Peter Zink.
Power-to-X is a technology being developed by European Energy that converts electricity produced by photovoltaic or wind power into other forms of energy: green hydrogen or e-metanol, which can then be used, as replacements for fossil fuels.
In 2021. European Energy signed a contract with A.P Moller Maersk, one of the world’s largest container carriers and ship operators, for the supply from 2023 onwards of 10,000 tonnes of neutral e-methanol per year, produced at EE’s Danish plant, to replace traditional fuels currently used in maritime and inland waterway transport. Further e-metanol production facilities may be built in Poland.
