ORLEN Acquires 40 MW Ready-to-Build Solar Project from PNE

PNE Group, through its Polish subsidiary PNE Polska, has sold 100 % of the shares in the project company “RES Project 5” — which holds the rights to build and operate a 40 MW solar farm — to Poland’s leading energy utility ORLEN, with the project located near ORLEN’s refinery in Płock, Poland. ORLEN plans to select a contractor in 2026, with the farm scheduled to be commissioned by 2028. 

The buyer, ORLEN Group, is a significant player in the European energy sector, with operations spanning Poland, Czechia, Germany, Lithuania and Slovakia, among others. This first direct transaction from PNE Group to ORLEN S.A. shows PNE being a reliable partner of important industrial players in Poland and beyond.
