Regional deep dive: Wielkopolska energy cluster

Renewable energy potential and coal transition in central Poland.

Renewable density

Wielkopolska is one of Poland's leaders in solar and wind capacity. The flat terrain and good wind speeds make it ideal for large-scale farms.

The region is moving away from lignite mining. Former mining sites are being repurposed for massive solar parks and hybrid installations.

While the grid is relatively developed, the high concentration of projects means that local substations are often at capacity.

Large parcels of agricultural land and post-industrial sites provide many opportunities for developers who can secure a grid connection.
