Solar bidders granted 2.2 GW in Polish renewables auctions

• Solar PV prospective buyers grabbed around 2.2 GW of ability in Poland's newest renewables public auctions, the nation's Energy Regulatory Office (URE) has actually revealed.

A preliminary public auction for projects with an ability larger than 1MW acquired virtually 24.7 TWh of electrical energy as well as will certainly cause the advancement of PV plants with an integrated ability of greater than 1.2 GW in addition to onshore wind farms completing 300MW. The lowest solar proposal was PLN0.209/ kWh (US$ 0.05538/ kWh).

Another public auction for plants approximately 1MW marketed 11.9 TWh of energy, with solar bidders securing all readily available ability. The public auction, which saw a lowest bid of PLN0.207/ kWh (US$ 0.05485/ kWh), will cause the building and construction of solar projects with an overall ability of nearly 1GW.

In 2021, Poland greater than doubled PV deployment year-on-year to add 2.2 GW, leading SolarPower Europe to identify the marketplace "the most significant shock on the EU's solar map".

An auction last December for projects approximately 1MW is additionally set to lead to the growth of greater than 700MW of projects. The public auctions are playing a considerable function in solar implementation in Poland, which is aiming for 7.3 GW of set up PV by 2030-- a target that the Polish profession associations think is well within reach.
