Ignitis Renewables has announced that the Silesia wind farm II, located in the Opole Voivodeship in southern Poland, has reached its commercial operation date. The facility consists of 38 Nordex N117/3600 wind turbines and has a total installed capacity of 137 megawatts.
According to Darius Maikštėnas, CEO of Ignitis Group, “Silesia wind farm is an important part of our green generation portfolio. Every project of this scale enables us to move towards our strategic priority to deliver 4–5 GW of installed green capacities by 2030. We welcome the consolidation of our operations in Poland, which contributes to the green transformation of the entire region.”
The company states that Silesia wind farm II is among the largest wind farms currently operating in Poland and can supply enough electricity for about 177,000 households each year.
Ignitis Renewables says that completing this project strengthens its presence in Poland and supports its aim to develop a fully green and secure energy system in the region. The total investment for the wind farm—including both acquisition and construction—could reach up to EUR 240 million.
