ABO Energy wins tariffs for first Polish solar park in latest RES auctions

German renewables developer ABO Energy (ETR:AB9) has secured support for a 17-MWp photovoltaic project in Poland, marking its first solar park in the country and expanding the company’s Central European footprint. The award comes from Poland’s most recent round of renewable energy auctions, which cleared large volumes of PV capacity at competitive prices. 

Poland’s July 2025 auctions again tilted heavily toward solar, with the regulator URE reporting that PV dominated awards in the >1 MW basket. Trade press summaries indicate winning PV bids cleared in a broad range—roughly PLN 217–330/MWh—continuing a trend of cost discipline despite higher financing costs in zloty. 

ABO Energy, formerly known as ABO Wind, has been active across Poland for years in wind and storage, and has recently stepped up its solar development. The 17-MWp project now backed by a contract-for-difference style tariff gives the developer revenue visibility and enhances bankability through the construction phase. While site specifics and a commissioning timetable were not disclosed, the auction result positions ABO to begin procurement and financing for what will be its inaugural PV asset in the Polish market.

For Warsaw, the outcome underscores a policy mix still reliant on competitive auctions to bring forward utility-scale renewables while Poland accelerates grid upgrades and flexibility resources. The July round alone allocated around 1.6–1.7 GW of PV capacity across categories, with clearing prices remaining below the government’s reference price for ground-mounted solar.

As corporate PPAs proliferate and capacity-market reforms spur battery investments, developers like ABO are building diversified Polish portfolios that can pair low-cost daytime solar with storage and balancing services. The company’s move into auction-backed PV adds another lever for managing price volatility as the country’s renewables share rises.
