Renewable Energy in Poland: VSB Successfully Commissions Racibórz Wind Farm

Dresden, Germany – The project developer VSB, which specializes in renewable energy, has successfully commissioned another wind farm in Poland through its local subsidiary.

The Racibórz wind farm, with a total capacity of 41.6 MW, is located in the municipality of Pietrowice Wielkie in the Silesian Voivodeship. The wind farm comprises 13 Nordex N117 turbines, each with a capacity of 3.2 MW. According to VSB, the wind power generated can supply approximately 36,000 households annually while avoiding around 44,000 tons of CO₂ emissions each year.

In addition to dedicated wind and photovoltaic parks, the VSB Group is increasingly focusing on hybrid projects in the Polish market that combine wind energy, photovoltaics, and battery storage. This integrated approach enhances grid stability and maximizes the yield from renewable sources.

“Our current wind and PV projects demonstrate the great potential of the Polish market. We are accelerating this growth path with hybrid solutions from both worlds and through the integration of battery storage solutions. This increases supply security and improves the flexibility of the energy system,” emphasizes Hubert Kowalski, Managing Director of VSB Poland. “With the commissioning of the Racibórz wind farm, we are sending a strong signal for a climate-friendly energy future in Poland and underline our role as an innovation leader in the field of renewable energies,” adds Dr. Felix Grolman, CEO of the VSB Group.

Poland has set ambitious targets for expanding renewable energy and advancing climate protection. According to the country’s National Energy and Climate Plan, onshore wind capacity is expected to reach around 16 GW by 2030. Offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea are also set to play a key role in the future energy mix, with targets of around 6 GW by 2030 and 18 GW by 2040. The target for photovoltaic capacity expansion is approximately 29 GW by 2030. Challenges remain in expanding the grid infrastructure necessary to integrate these renewable sources. Overall, Poland is clearly moving toward greater climate protection and a greener energy supply.
