FW Gawłowice Onshore Wind Farm, Poland | 48 MW Renewable Energy Facility

FW Gawłowice is an onshore wind farm located in Poland, owned and operated by Polenergia, a leading Polish renewable energy company. With a capacity of 48 MW, it represents a medium-scale wind installation within the Polish wind energy sector, which has grown significantly under the EU's Renewable Energy Directive. The facility utilizes wind turbines to generate electricity, feeding into the national grid. Poland's renewable energy framework, aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), targets a 42.5% renewable share by 2030. Onshore wind farms like FW Gawłowice are key to meeting these goals, supported by Poland's feed-in tariff and auction systems. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing carbon emissions and fossil fuel dependence. Its location in northern Poland benefits from consistent wind patterns, though like all wind farms, it requires careful siting to minimize visual and ecological impacts, such as bird and bat interactions. The facility supports Poland's energy transition and grid decarbonization.

The wind farm operates in a region with moderate wind resources, typical for northern Poland. Onshore wind installations can have visual impacts on landscapes and require measures to mitigate bird and bat collisions. The facility's 48 MW capacity contributes to Poland's renewable energy targets, reducing reliance on coal-fired power and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
