On 10 December Equinor completed the acquisition of a 50 % interest in the offshore wind development project Bałtyk I in Poland from Polenergia. The company now has an interest in all three Bałtyk offshore wind development projects (MFW Bałtyk III, MFW Bałtyk II i MFW Bałtyk I.).

Onshore wind is in big trouble in Germany. The development of new wind farms has almost ground to a halt. The main problem is permitting – it’s got much slower, more complex and there aren’t enough civil servants to process the applications. It seriously undermines Germany’s ability to meet its 2030 renewables target and contribute […]

PGE Baltica, a company belonging to the Polska Grupa Energetyczna, and Baltic Power, controlled by PKN Orlen, have signed a letter of intent on the collaboration in off-shore wind farm projects. The agreement was concluded during this year’s Economic Congress in Krynica. It concerns sharing of experience, knowledge and information between the companies that will […]

The key barrier to opting for off-shore wind farms used to be the price.

Tauron has acquired five wind farms with 180 MW capacity for PLN 137 million. The company says it is just a beginning of its further RES investments. It allows Tauron to double its on-shore wind farm installed capacity.

Without a permanent, predictable policy for the development of renewable energy, the share of Polish producers in the RES market will be relatively small. A coherent vision of the RES market development presented by the government is needed to encourage Polish companies to be more actively involved in the supply chains of low-emission technologies. Without […]

Companies around Europe have now signed nearly 5 GW of power purchase agreements (PPAs) with wind farms. This is almost equivalent to Denmark’s total wind energy capacity.

The oil crisis of the 1970s, dependence on imports, and pollution of the environment – these are the three factors that determined Denmark to start the process of energy transformation over 30 years ago, ie the shift away from fossil fuels towards Renewable Energy Sources (RES). More and more investments show that withdrawal from fossil […]
