EW Lotnisko Onshore Wind Farm | Poland Renewable Energy Facility

EW Lotnisko is an operational onshore wind farm located in Poland, owned by the state-controlled energy group PGE. With a capacity of 95 megawatts, it represents a medium-to-large scale wind installation within the Polish renewable energy sector. The facility is situated in northern Poland, near the Baltic Sea coast, an area with favorable wind conditions. The wind farm utilizes modern wind turbine technology to convert wind energy into electricity. Poland has been expanding its wind energy capacity, supported by the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III, which sets a 42.5% renewable energy target by 2030 for member states. The facility operates under Poland's national feed-in tariff and grid-connection regimes, which have incentivized onshore wind development. Environmentally, EW Lotnisko contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation. Wind farms in this region may have visual impacts on the landscape and require careful siting to minimize effects on local bird and bat populations. The facility supports Poland's energy transition and grid integration of variable renewable sources.

The wind farm is located in a coastal region of Poland, where wind resources are strong but the area may host migratory birds and bats. Proper siting and operational measures, such as curtailment during peak migration, help mitigate wildlife impacts. The facility's land use is compatible with agricultural activities, reducing land-use conflict.
