OX2 plans to start construction of three new renewable energy sources (RES) projects in Poland, including the first solar farms, and to put into operation two wind farm projects in 2022, the company’s representatives.
“We are currently carrying out four construction projects already started. We have successfully completed the first Żary wind project this year. We are planning to launch three new construction projects this year. For the first time, they will be in OX2 and these are photovoltaic farms,” said Katarzyna Suchcicka, general director of OX2 in Poland.
In the following years, the company wants to build and launch new installations.
“As for the wind projects that we are going to build this year, these are projects from 20 to 80 MW,” said Tomasz Guzowski, director of the wind projects department.
The first of the planned photovoltaic projects is a 28 MW farm on the border of the Wielkopolskie and Zachodniopomorskie provinces.
“The second, large project is 90 MW in the Opole region. Both projects have the status of ready-to-build. If everything goes well, the smaller one will start just before the summer holidays, and the larger one – in the last quarter of this year,” Marta Głód, director of the photovoltaic projects department added.
The 28 MW photovoltaic project is one of the winners in the auction for the sale of renewable energy. No decisions have been made yet on the second of the projects.
“We will see what will happen with the auctions this year. The financing of this farm is still clearing up,” Suchcicka indicated.
She emphasized that in other markets, OX2 implements typically commercial projects, without support systems.
“We are conducting talks with investors who are interested in receiving the objects themselves, but also receiving energy from them. Recently, we have noticed that there is a very large ‘business movement’ in this area. We now see a huge interest in the so-called corporate PPA,” she added.
The company also emphasizes that its portfolio of onshore wind projects could be developed if it succeeds in liberalizing the so-called the distance act.
“In 2022, we are planning to put into operation two [wind] projects with a capacity of approx. 60 MW, in the Wielkopolskie and Podlaskie voivodships,” Guzowski pointed out.
OX2 operates in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Poland, as well as Lithuania and France. Sales revenue in 2020 was SEK 5,201 million.
