The Polish arm of German EPC company Goldbeck Solar has signed a contract to build one of Europe’s largest solar farms, the 722MWp-capacity Sidłowo-Kikowo-Dobrowo power plant in northwest Poland.

The project consists of three large-scale photovoltaic power plants: Sidłowo plant with a 290MWp capacity, Kikowo with 235MWp and Dobrowo with 197MWp.

It will be connected to Poland’s national grid via the STR LKO 400/110 kV intermediate substation.

Goldbeck Solar Polska will provide engineering, procurement and construction of all three plants, plus associated substations, high-voltage cable routes and grid connection infrastructure.

Steffen Emmerich, Goldbeck Solar Polska’s managing director, said: “The Sidłowo–Kikowo–Dobrowo solar farm is part of a broader strategic initiative by Optima Wind, Virya Energy and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, who are launching Virya Renewables Poland, a new renewable energy platform with a project pipeline exceeding 2GW in potential capacity across the country.”
