The wind farm worth €60m will be constructed over an area of 15sq km and is expected to be commissioned in early 2013.
RWE Innogy CEO Fritz Vahrenholt said, "With Nowy Staw we are expanding our wind portfolio in Poland by almost 40 MW. This will bring us a great step closer to our goal of adding 50 MW of wind capacity in Poland every year until 2015. Our wind pipeline is well filled. All in all, Innogy plans to have around 300 MW in operation in Poland by 2015."
REpower Systems CEO Andreas Nauen said, "With Nowy Staw we are implementing our largest project in Poland so far. The site in the north of the country with its average wind velocities is optimally suited to accommodate the REpower MM92 turbines. To date, we have installed more than 2,000 plants of the MM series all over the world. We are delighted that RWE Innogy has put its trust in our proven technology and has once again chosen REpower as supplier."
Upon completion, the wind farm will supply an equivalent of around 50,000 homes with green electricity every year.
