Public Power Corporation (PPC) is entering the Polish market, one of Europe’s most promising and fastest-growing clean energy markets, through an agreement to add a portfolio of wind and solar projects with a total capacity of 277.3 MW to its renewable energy portfolio.
The agreement with EDP Renewables Polska Sp. z o.o. and EDP Renewables Polska HoldCo S.A. marks another step towards implementing PPC Group’s new strategic growth plan for 2026-2030, which provides for an ambitious €24 billion investment programme aimed at nearly doubling the Group’s installed capacity.
Its strategic positioning in the Polish market strengthens PPC Group’s leading role in the wider region and lays the foundations for creating a unified regional clean energy platform stretching from Greece to Central and Southeastern Europe. This will provide geographic and technological diversification of generation, helping to mitigate operational risk and maximise the value of the Group’s portfolio.
The new “green” portfolio
The acquisition portfolio features a high degree of technological diversification and a strong revenue profile, with all projects having an estimated operating life of 35 years.
Specifically, it comprises:
- Operational wind projects (130.5 MW): Three operational wind farms in the Ilza (54 MW), Tomaszow (46.5 MW) and Poturzyn (30 MW) areas, with a high capacity factor of up to 33%.
- Operational solar projects (44.9 MW): Two solar parks in Pakoslaw (25.1 MW) and Recz (19.8 MW). These projects provide strong protection against market fluctuations, as they benefit from long-term fixed-price contracts during their initial years of operation.
- Cable pooling projects under development (101.9 MW): Two solar projects, Ilza CP (50.9 MW) and Tomaszow CP (51.0 MW), which are expected to become operational in 2029. The projects will use cable pooling technology, sharing the same grid connection infrastructure as the existing wind farms. The technology enables grid capacity to be used to the maximum, reduces connection curtailment and creates significant synergies thanks to the complementary generation profiles of wind and solar power.
Completion of the transactions is subject to the fulfilment of certain customary conditions for transactions of this nature, including, among other things, obtaining the required approvals from the competent regulatory authorities.
Poland’s energy market
Poland is a market with enormous potential in Europe’s clean energy sector, recording an impressive average annual growth rate in renewable energy capacity of more than 17% over the 2016-2025 period.
To capitalise on the significant opportunities emerging across the wider region, PPC Group is accelerating its growth, targeting a doubling of its total installed capacity to 24.3 GW by 2030, from 12.4 GW in 2025. This will be achieved by significantly increasing new project additions to 2.4 GW per year, mainly in renewables, flexible generation and storage.
The expansion into Poland represents the natural geographic extension of the Group’s leading position in Greece and Romania, while an extensive investment programme is also being advanced in its other markets, including Italy, Bulgaria, Croatia and Hungary. By 2030, 45% of the Group’s installed capacity will be located outside Greece.
