Iberdrola grows in Poland with the supply of wind turbines
Iberdrola is making progress in its commitment to renewable energies in Poland, one of the company's new growth markets, with the award to Vestas of a new contract for the supply and installation of turbines for the Korytnica II wind farm.
The 50.4 megawatt (MW) project, located in the province of Mazowieckie, northeast of Warsaw, will consist of 14 V126-3.45 MW wind turbines, whose capacity has been increased to 3.6 MW, and a hub height of 132 metres.
The construction will be carried out by the civil engineering company CJR Renewables, which already erected Korytnica I (82.5 MW) in 2015. Construction is scheduled to begin before the end of the year and delivery of the wind turbines is expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2022. The facility will be maintained by Vestas under a long-term framework agreement.
The output of Korytnica 2 will be sold through a PPA supported by a contract for difference (CfD) obtained in the fourth auction held in Poland in June 2021.
With the commissioning of Korytnica II, scheduled for early 2023, Iberdrola's onshore wind capacity in Poland will reach 163 MW, including the already operational wind farms Korytnica I (82.5 MW) and Zopowy (30 MW).
Iberdrola is also developing a portfolio of offshore wind projects in Poland that includes seven projects with a potential capacity of up to 7,300 MW.
Iberdrola has been leading the energy transition for two decades. It acts as a driver of green economic recovery, job creation and the transformation of the industrial fabric.
The company has launched a 75 billion euro investment plan for the period 2020-2025, with the aim of doubling its renewable capacity and taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the energy revolution facing the world's leading economies.
After twenty years driving the energy transition, with investments of 120,000 million euros, Iberdrola is a leader in renewable energies, with an installed capacity of more than 37,000 MW, making its generation fleet one of the cleanest in the energy sector.
With emissions of 98 grCO2/kWh, two thirds less than the European average, Iberdrola's strategy of investing in clean energy and grids will enable it to become a carbon neutral company in Europe by 2030.
