BayWa offloads 64.6 MW Witnica solar project in Poznań

BayWa r.e. has announced the sale of its 64.6 MWp solar farm in Witnica, Poland, to Irish incorporated company Alternus Energy Group.

The solar farm, located close to the German border between Poznan and Berlin, was completed earlier this year and is now connected to the grid. Witnica is Poland’s first subsidy-free, PPA-backed commercial-scale solar installation.

BayWa r.e. will continue to supply operations and maintenance services at the Witnica site for Alternus Energy.

At the beginning of 2021, BayWa r.e. announced the signing of a 10-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Górazdze Cement S.A., the Polish subsidiary of Heidelberg Cement Group.
