The Poland solar farm will transform renewable capacity in Europe, with GOLDBECK SOLAR Polska winning the €85 million engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the massive Sidłowo‑Kikowo‑Dobrowo project in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland.

With a total installed capacity of 722 MWp, this Poland solar farm will beat current European solar records and connect directly to the national 400 kV grid network, accelerating the country’s energy transition.

Poland Solar Farm Project Scope & Importance

First, the new Poland solar farm comprises three large photovoltaic plants: Sidłowo (290 MWp), Kikowo (235 MWp) and Dobrowo (197 MWp). Together, these generate 722 MWp of clean power capacity more than any existing PV installation in Europe.

Moreover, GOLDBECK SOLAR Polska will deliver the EPC works from design through commissioning, including construction of medium and high‑voltage substations, high‑voltage cable routes and the grid connection infrastructure via the STR LKO 400/110 kV intermediate substation.

Meanwhile, the project stands out as the first large‑scale photovoltaic installation in Poland to connect directly to Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne’s high‑voltage network, enhancing grid stability and renewable dispatch.

Funding partners Optima Wind, Virya Energy and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development are behind the initiative, launching a renewable platform with over 2 GW of capacity potential.

Renewables Impact & Local Significance

The new Poland solar farm ushers in next‑generation clean electricity output for Poland and Europe. Moreover,  it sets benchmarks for philosophical and practical renewable solar integration across the region.

Furthermore, this project reinforces policy momentum to reduce fossil fuel reliance and strengthen energy independence across the EU. In addition, utility‑scale solar projects spur job creation, long‑term operations roles and supply chain investments that extend beyond construction.

Meanwhile, Europe continues to scale up utility-scale renewables, as seen in the Sonnedix breaks ground on Cowley Complex, the largest solar PV plant in the UK project, where a 120 MW solar facility in County Durham is under construction. The Cowley Complex will generate about 124,600 MWh annually, enough to power roughly 35,000 homes while cutting nearly 48,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year, reinforcing the region’s transition toward clean energy.
