Nearly 308,000 double-sided photovoltaic panels will generate enough energy to power over 100,000 households annually. The Przykona photovoltaic farm will be the second-largest installation of its kind in Poland, but with the potential to increase its capacity by an additional 40 MW, it has the potential to become one of the largest photovoltaic power plants in Central and Eastern Europe.
Construction lasted for over a year, with nearly 500 people working on the construction site during peak periods. The project has a total installed capacity of 200 MWp and will generate approximately 220 GWh annually, thus avoiding the use of traditional fossil fuels to produce the same amount of energy.
The Przykona Power Plant will also prevent the emission of over 208,000 tons of CO2 annually. It was installed on the site of a rehabilitated brown coal mine and covers an area of 270 hectares, equivalent to 375 soccer fields. This new photovoltaic power plant in the Przykona municipality represents a significant step in the development of renewable energy in Poland. The project, created in collaboration with EDP Renewables, is an excellent example of effective energy infrastructure implementation.
“During the project, we made every effort to propose optimal and modern solutions to our partner, which will allow for the full utilization of the facility’s potential during its operational phase and add value to the investment. The Przykona PV photovoltaic farm is not the first project that Electrum has completed for EDP Renewables, and we hope it won’t be the last. We feel that in EDP Renewables, we have found a partner who shares our vision of a sustainable future and takes concrete actions towards building a green energy system,” says Tomasz Taff from the Electrum Group.
The Przykona PV photovoltaic farm is another milestone in our collaboration with EDP Renewables, demonstrating our commitment to building a sustainable energy future.”
The unique formula of the Flying Ambient Salon combines unforgettable experiences offered by a balloon flight with an artistic feast for music lovers. The event is organized for the second time. Last year, thanks to the generosity of donors, the organizers of the campaign raised over 20,000 PLN, which was donated to the Give Children Strength Foundation.
The Second Flying Ambient Salon will be realized with the participation of a producer and DJ hiding under the pseudonym Botanica. Botanica creates relaxing ambient music, sometimes interspersed with rhythmic tracks bordering on dub techno and house. The artist is an enthusiast of field recordings, which he uses in his compositions and publishes on his Bandcamp profile. His recordings appear in film productions, during yoga classes, in relaxation and meditation apps, and as the musical background of design exhibitions. So far, Botanica’s productions have been released by labels such as MOST, Father And Son Records & Tapes, Dom Trojga, and Neoviolence. The artist’s recordings are available online on his profiles at 
“We are delighted that, as the Up To Date Festival, we have the opportunity to co-create the Second Flying Ambient Salon. In the past, we undertook various activities for seniors. We painted murals, organized intergenerational dances – it’s easy, light, and enjoyable to talk about it, but it’s not easy to talk about those who are slowly leaving us. Together with Electrum, we take on this challenge and invite you to help. Let’s remember the generations that were here before us and to whom we owe a lot,” – says Jędrzej Dondziło, co-creator of the campaign and Program Director of the Up To Date Festival.
People interested in participating in a visual and musical feast during a balloon flight over Narwia and Knyszyn Forest can still take part in the online fundraiser at
