The turbines are due to be constructed and commissioned at the Lipniki wind farm near Opole in south-west Poland by fall this year. With a total output of 30.75MW, the Lipniki wind farm is said to be the company’s biggest project so far in Poland. REpower entered the Polish market in 2009 with the two wind farms Leki Dukielskie and Bukowsko near Rzeszow.
Per Pedersen, CEO of REpower Systems, said: “We can see a lot of potential on the Polish market for wind power. The country is home to many more prime wind locations. We are also delighted to be working alongside WSB in Poland following the successful completion of a joint project in Germany.”
REpower said that Poland is currently one of the fastest-growing markets for wind energy, which makes this contract important to the company.
