VSB Poland has started construction of the 303MWp Brzezinka photovoltaic park in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship.
The company said the project, located northeast of Wrocław, will include a 106MW battery energy storage system and cover more than 260 hectares.
VSB said around 467,000 solar modules and 70 kilometres of cable route will be installed, with full commissioning planned by the end of 2027.
The groundbreaking ceremony marked the official start of work in the municipality of Oleśnica and the districts of Brzezinka and Syców.
VSB said the project represents the first phase of development at the site, where approval is also underway for a 245MW wind farm.
The company said this will create one of the largest hybrid parks in Poland and Europe.
Lower Silesian Voivodeship deputy director of economy and promotion Lukasz Kasprzak said: “Today’s topping-out ceremony is a significant milestone – not only for the local community, but for the entire Lower Silesia region.”
He added: “The Brzezinka project is fully in line with the goals of the voivodeship’s energy strategy, which focuses on modern, low-emission energy sources and strengthening regional energy security.”
Kasprzak said: “This investment shows the great impact that can be achieved through cooperation between government, local partners, companies and investors, creating jobs and promoting sustainable development.”
VSB Poland managing director Hubert Kowalski said: “The close cooperation with our local partners and land owners shows how sustainable energy generation, economic development and community go hand in hand and create real added value.”
VSB Group chief executive Felix Grolman said: “The start of construction for the Brzezinka project is the start of an energy park that will closely interlink wind energy and battery storage in addition to photovoltaics.”
He added: “We are paving the way for further investments, because Poland offers ideal conditions for renewable energy expansion due to rising electricity demand and a stabilising political framework.”
