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.
Solar farm 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 solar farm is another milestone in our collaboration with EDP Renewables, demonstrating our commitment to building a sustainable energy future.”
