RWE has achieved commercial operations at the 7MW Nawrocko wind farm near Stettin in Poland.
Construction of Nawrocko, which features three Nordex N117 turbines, started about one year ago, the company said.
The site is part of a cluster including the existing Wysoka 1 and 2 wind farms, which comprise 25 machines with a combined capacity of 62MW.
RWE Renewables chief executive Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath said: “Poland is an attractive market for the expansion of our business and I am happy about the tangible progress our team is making.
“We are keen to support the growth of wind energy in Poland, one of our core markets in Europe. We will promote both onshore and offshore projects in the country.”
RWE Renewables will operate about a dozen onshore wind farms in the country with a total capacity of approximately 380MW.
Dotzenrath added that the Polish market also “promises great untapped potential for offshore wind”, with the company having acquired a pipeline of four projects in the central Polish Baltic Sea late last year.
“We are fully committed to invest in offshore wind in Poland in light of its significant benefits for the Polish economy, labour market and society,” she said.
The four projects, which are in different development stages, are all located around the Slupsk bank area.
Over the next few years, development activities will continue, and the construction phase might start as early as 2023, RWE said.
