Lightsource BP has secured its first projects in Poland through a 757MW co-development deal.
The portfolio of nine projects in the regions of Zachodnio-Pomorskie, Lubuskie, Dolnoslaskie and Wielkopolskie.
They will be developed with an “experienced, local renewable energy firm”.
Around half the projects could be ready for construction in 2022, Lightsource BP said.
The solar company said it has closely vetted the portfolio, providing valuable insight into the potential of the projects and the Polish solar market.
Lightsource BP plans to sell some power on the open market and said it is seeking large corporations to contract via long-term power purchase agreements.
These projects will also participate in future rounds of Poland’s renewable energy auctions.
This project pipeline provides Lightsource BP with a “stable foundation for its long-term gigawatt-scale development ambitions in Poland”.
Lightsource BP business development head for Poland Michal Glowacki said: “We will focus now on expanding our presence in the country and building on this first deal.
“Lightsource BP’s goal is to contribute affordable, clean, low-carbon power to Poland’s electricity system at the gigawatt scale.”
