wpd has concluded a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with ENGIE Zielona Energia Sp. z o.o., a wholly owned subsidiary of the French energy supply group ENGIE SA.
The PPA was signed between the project companies of wpd’s own onshore wind farms Jarocin Kozmin and Słupca-Kołaczkowo and ENGIE subsidiary. The agreement is a so-called offsite PPA with the physical delivery of electricity, covering 100 % of the projects’ electricity generation, i.e. more than 900 GWh over the lifetime of the agreement.
The two wind farms will be built in the western center of Poland, in the Wielkopolskie voivodeship. The project Jarocin Kozmin is located approximately 11 km southeast of the city of Jarocin and consists of 17 wind turbines (WTG) of the type GE 2.5-120 with a hub height of 120 m and will have a capacity of 42.5 MW. The construction work for the project started in Q1/2020 and the commissioning of the first WTG is expected in Q3/2020.
The same applies to the project Słupca-Kołaczkowo located about 60 km east of the city of Poznan, which will consist of 15 wind turbines of the type Vestas 3.0-117 with a hub height of 141 m and an installed capacity of 45 MW. The combined annual energy generated in both projects corresponds to the annual demand of about 100,000 households.
