Goldbeck signs EPC contract for 722MWp Polish solar plants
Goldbeck Solar Polska has signed an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to build the Sidłowo-Kikowo-Dobrowo photovoltaic (PV) power plants in Poland’s West Pomeranian Voivodeship, with a total installed capacity of 722MW-peak (MWp).
The EPC also covers the associated high-voltage and medium-voltage (HV/MV) substations, HV cable routes and the grid connection infrastructure, including the STR LKO intermediate substation.
This project is set to surpass all existing solar farms in Europe in terms of capacity.
It also represents the first large-scale PV facility in Poland to connect directly to Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne’s (PSE) 400kV HV transmission network.
The project encompasses three major PV power plants including Sidłowo (290MWp), Kikowo (235MWp) and Dobrowo (197MWp), alongside HV cable infrastructure and a connection through the STR LKO 400/110kV intermediate substation.
As the general contractor, Goldbeck Solar Polska will handle all project phases, from design and procurement to construction and commissioning.
This project marks a significant step in Poland’s renewable energy transition and aligns with the country’s goal of increasing renewable energy in its electricity mix.
The Sidłowo-Kikowo-Dobrowo solar farm is part of a broader strategic initiative involving Optima Wind, Virya Energy and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
These entities are launching Virya Renewables Poland, a new renewable energy platform with a potential project pipeline exceeding 2GW across the nation.
Goldbeck Solar Polska managing director Steffen Emmerich said: “This is an enormous achievement for Goldbeck Solar Polska.
“Securing the full EPC scope for such a complex, large-scale project highlights our capabilities and positions us at the forefront of Europe’s renewable energy sector.
“We are thrilled to bring our expertise to Sidłowo-Kikowo-Dobrowo project, delivering a project that sets new benchmarks in scale and impact.”
