Six wind farms with a total capacity of 83.5 MW have been added to the portfolio of Enea Group. The company Enea Nowa Energia acquired the assets from European Energy Polska and announced that this is just the beginning of such transactions. This year is expected to be intense for the company in terms of renewable energy development. Enea’s strategic goal is to reach 2.1 GW of installed capacity from green sources by 2030, and 4.9 GW by 2035.
“This year will bring more of our renewable energy projects. I can’t reveal the details yet, but we’ll see developments in energy storage, wind energy, solar energy, and often hybrid projects. That means expanding our existing projects with additional sources — for example, adding storage to wind or PV, or vice versa. All these options are possible, and in the coming months, we will reveal more projects,” said Grzegorz Kinelski, CEO of Enea, in an interview with Newseria.
Enea’s “Development Strategy until 2035”, presented in November 2024, outlines a tenfold increase in renewable energy capacity — reaching over 4.9 GW. The key contributors to this growth will be onshore and offshore wind farms as well as solar installations. Additionally, energy storage capacity is expected to exceed 1.3 GW. Expanding renewable sources and energy storage is one of the five key pillars of the Group’s development strategy for the next decade. Enea plans to allocate PLN 40 billion for this area out of a total of PLN 107.5 billion earmarked for strategic investments.
According to the strategy, in ten years, over 40% of the energy produced by Enea Group will come from renewable sources. Along with the shift in the energy mix, the company’s product and service portfolio will also change. By 2035, green energy is expected to account for 58% of all electricity sold to retail customers.
“Our clients already need clean energy — and will need it even more in the future — so the green transformation fits perfectly with those needs,” adds Bartosz Krysta, Enea’s Vice President for Commercial Affairs.
One of the first steps in shifting Enea’s energy mix is the agreement signed this week with European Energy Polska for the acquisition of six wind farms. At the end of 2024, Enea had 492 MW of installed capacity in renewables. With this transaction, the figure will increase by 17%.
“This is a very important agreement — part of a broader set of contracts we plan to sign as we implement our strategy. It concerns the purchase of six wind farms, which significantly boost our green energy production. The deal was negotiated for almost a year, and we’re pleased with the successful outcome. It will reshape the energy mix we offer our clients,” said Kinelski.
“This investment involves 29 turbines and 83.5 MW of installed capacity. Annually, the farms can produce over 230 GWh — enough electricity to supply around 80,000 households. It’s a significant addition to our portfolio,” emphasized Krysta.
The acquisition includes the Pomerania project, consisting of five wind farms (44.7 MW), and the Liskowo farm (38.8 MW), both located in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. Enea Nowa Energia will also take over a 25 MW photovoltaic project at the “ready-to-build” stage. The total value of the transaction will not exceed PLN 914 million. The company notes that the acquired farms could serve as a base for future modernization, repowering, or integration with other renewable technologies, such as energy storage or additional solar installations.
“For Enea, this transaction is extremely important — it effectively doubles our wind energy production. Reaching our strategic target of nearly 5 GW of green energy by 2035 is so critical to us that we will be achieving it step by step like this,” Kinelski added.
He emphasized that acquiring ready-made and operational wind farms allows Enea to immediately strengthen its position in the renewable energy market without the need for a long and complex development process.
“For European Energy, this transaction is hugely significant. It shows that such deals are possible in the Polish market. This is our first transaction in the group when it comes to Poland, and it demonstrates the stability of the Polish renewable energy sector. It also allows us to invest in our next projects. In addition to the 200 MW currently installed, we have another 5 GW in the pipeline — including wind, solar, and energy storage — and preparing these projects involves considerable cost,” said Olga Sypuła, Managing Director at European Energy Polska.
European Energy operates in over 25 countries, developing wind, solar, and Power-to-X projects. The company specializes in the development, construction, and operation of green energy solutions and has been active in the Polish market for nearly two decades.
