The company claims that the power generated by its turbines will be sufficient to power nearly one million Polish households.

GE noted that its Polish manufacturing facilities, located in Elblag and Wroclaw, will produce equipment for the project.

Additionally, GE has agreed to service the turbines under a 12-year contract.

PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna management board president Wojciech Dąbrowski said: “PGE’s investment in the Dolna Odra power plant is our contribution to preparing the Polish power system for further development of renewable energy, in particular wind energy.”

Once the two units are commissioned in 2023, PGE’s low-emission power plant is expected to offset carbon dioxide emissions by two to three million tonnes annually.
