Equinor's Lipno Solar Park Begins Test Production in Poland

• Equinor shines in Poland with third solar farm, boosting renewables capacity to 200 MW and expanding project pipeline with Wento acquisition.

Equinor has begun test production at its 53-MW Lipno solar park in Poland, marking its third solar farm in the country. The company now has a total of 200 MW of onshore renewables capacity in Poland, including three solar farms and one wind farm. Lipno was developed and will be operated by Polish firm Wento, which Equinor acquired along with a 1.6-GW pipeline of solar projects in 2021.

Wento has doubled its project pipeline to over 3 GW, including battery storage projects, with Equinor expecting final investment decisions for these projects in the coming years. Equinor's energy trading house, Danske Commodities, has signed a balancing agreement with the Lipno solar plant and will handle the commercialization of its electricity in the Polish power market. Additionally, Equinor is also involved in developing offshore wind projects in Poland in partnership with Polenergia.
