Macquarie’s Green Investment Group (GIG) has acquired a 22MW onshore wind farm in Poland from the EnerCap Power Funds.
The project is located approximately 1km north west of the village of Scieki and approximately 75km south west of Warsaw in central Poland.
It comprises 11 Vestas V90 2.0MW wind turbine generators and has been operating for over eight years.
The project helps avoid 39 kt CO2e in greenhouse gas emissions on average every year.
The Scieki acquisition sees GIG continuing to play an active role in the growing Polish renewables market.
By 2050, 52% of the country’s power generation is forecast to come from wind, solar and biomass.
Initial commercial operations of the Scieki wind farm during the handover to GIG will be undertaken by Curo Energy, the new specialist advisory company of the EnerCap group.
Head of GIG Europe Edward Northam said: “Poland is becoming an increasingly important market for Green Investment Group.
“Last year, the country announced plans to set even higher targets to reduce its dependence on conventional energy generation by 2040 and we can play a role in accelerating this green transition.”
EnerCap director Shane Woodroffe added: “Having been active in Poland for over 10 years, and with the EnerCap Power Funds expected to wind down this year, it was time to divest our assets in Poland including the Scieki wind farm.
“We are pleased to have played an early role in developing and contributing to Poland’s emerging wind sector.”
