Overview
EW Pelplin is an onshore wind farm in Poland, owned by PGE. With a capacity of 49 MW, it contributes to Poland's renewable energy transition under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
EW Pelplin is an onshore wind farm located in Poland, owned and operated by PGE, one of the country's largest energy companies. The facility has an installed capacity of 49 MW, positioning it as a medium-scale wind project within Poland's growing renewable energy portfolio. The wind farm operates under Poland's regulatory framework aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), which sets a 42.5% renewable energy target by 2030. Poland has been expanding its wind capacity to meet these targets, supported by national feed-in tariffs and grid connection regimes for renewable energy projects. As an operational wind farm, EW Pelplin generates clean electricity, reducing reliance on coal-fired power and contributing to Poland's decarbonization goals. The facility's location in northern Poland benefits from favorable wind conditions, supporting grid stability and local energy supply.
Environmental context
Onshore wind farms like EW Pelplin can have visual impacts on landscapes and may affect local bird and bat populations. Proper siting and mitigation measures help minimize these effects. The facility's operation displaces fossil fuel generation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants in the region.
