Witnica photovoltaic farm
A pioneering unsubsidised PV project by BayWa r.e.
A pioneering subsidy-free solar farm in Poland
With an installed capacity of 64.6 MWp, the Witnica farm is one of the largest solar power plants in Poland.
With this ground-breaking project, the municipality of Witnica has become a pioneer in subsidy-free solar energy, achieving grid parity in Poland two years earlier than predicted by a 2016 Becquerel Institute study.
Grid parity occurs when an alternative energy source can produce electricity at an averaged generation cost (LCOE) that is less than or equal to the cost of conventional energy sources.
In other words, our solar energy project in Witnica provides the most efficient energy possible in our country. For Poland, and for Europe as a whole, this is a very important step towards the production of 100% green energy.
Project information
The power plant is located in the municipality of Witnica in western Poland, approximately 30 km east of the German border and 150 km east of Berlin.
