Equinor has acquired a 26MW onshore wind farm in Poland from the Helios Group.
The Wilko wind farm is located in the Wielkopolska province and will be operated by Wento, Equinor’s subsidiary in Poland.
Accumulated annual production is estimated at 105GWh of power per year, which is equivalent to the electricity consumption of around 50,000 Polish households.
Senior vice president for onshore and markets within renewables at Equinor Olav Kolbeinstveit said: “Equinor’s renewable strategy targets flexible power offering from multi-tech positions in select markets.
“Through our subsidiary Wento, we have built a strong solar portfolio in Poland.
“By adding onshore wind to Wento’s portfolio of operated assets, we transform Wento into a multi-tech power producer.”
The produced power will be managed in the Polish market by Equinor’s energy trading house Danske Commodities (DC).
Kolbeinstveit added: “As we continue to develop as a market-driven power producer in select markets, our power trading arm DC provides route-to-market for our assets and enables us to trade electricity from different sources.
“DC has over 10 years of experience in the Polish power market.”
