(News Bulletin 247) – Equinor announces the acquisition of a Wilco onshore wind farm (26 MW) in Poland from the Helios group. This park will be operated by Wento, Equinor’s subsidiary in Poland.
The asset will provide immediate production and cash flow. The accumulated annual production is estimated at 105 GWh of electricity per year, which is equivalent to the electricity consumption of around 50,000 Polish households, says Equinor.
‘Through our subsidiary Wento, we have built a strong solar portfolio in Poland. By adding onshore wind to Wento’s portfolio of operated assets, we are transforming Wento into a multi-technology power producer,” said Olav Kolbeinstveit, senior vice president for onshore and markets within renewable energy at Equinor. .
Solar and onshore wind typically have complementary generation profiles, meaning solar can make up for wind generation shortfalls and vice versa. A combination of the two technologies can therefore provide more reliable power generation, reduce portfolio risk and improve value creation.
