R.Power Launches 80-MWp Lasocice Solar Park, Construction Begins Q4 2025

• R.Power will break ground in Q4 2025 on its 80-MWp Lasocice solar farm—the developer’s largest Polish project—set to supply 35,000 homes by 2027.

Warsaw-based independent power producer R.Power is set to start building its largest domestic project to date—an 80-MWp photovoltaic complex near the village of Lasocice in Poland’s Opole Voivodeship—before the end of this year. Groundbreaking is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025, with grid connection and full commercial operation targeted for early 2027.

Sited on more than 80 hectares of post-agricultural land, the plant will be R.Power’s first facility linked directly to the high-voltage network managed by state transmission operator PSE via a dedicated 7-km line. Project engineers expect the single-axis-tracker array to produce about 89 GWh of electricity a year—enough to meet the needs of roughly 35,000 households and displace an estimated 71,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually.

The Lasocice build continues the developer’s rapid expansion across Central and Eastern Europe and comes on the heels of several minority-stake sales designed to recycle capital into new greenfield opportunities. When commissioned, it will lift R.Power’s Polish solar fleet past the 600-MWp mark and move the group closer to its stated goal of owning two gigawatts of PV capacity in Europe by the decade’s end.

Financing details were not disclosed, but the company is expected to rely on a mix of project-level debt, corporate green bonds and equity co-investment—an approach it has used for recent 50- to 100-MWp builds. Management says tying Lasocice into the transmission grid, rather than a medium-voltage distribution loop, should unlock larger corporate power-purchase agreements and allow the asset to participate in Poland’s capacity-market auctions, bolstering long-term revenue certainty.

Local authorities have already issued zoning and environmental permits. Construction will be staged to minimise disruption to nearby communities, and R.Power has pledged to create temporary jobs for regional contractors during the 18-month build. Once operational, the site will be managed remotely from the firm’s Warsaw control centre, with periodic on-site maintenance handled by a dedicated crew based in Opole.

R.Power stresses that Lasocice is more than a flagship project; it is also a proof-of-concept for integrating large-scale solar directly into Poland’s backbone grid—an essential step if the country is to hit its 2030 target of 45 GW of installed photovoltaic capacity and accelerate the shift away from coal-fired generation.
