Polish Wind Farms

German company RWE Innogy inaugurated its 6th wind farm in Poland at  Nowy Staw. The 45 megawatt system can generate enough energy to meet the annual demands of more than 50,000 homes.

The company took just over a year to install 22 wind turbines near the city of Gdansk. RWE said the wind farm was built and connected to the Polish energy grid on schedule.

Poland is one of RWE's premier wind energy markets and has installed onshore wind energy capacity of 200 MW in the country.

A European renewable energy directive calls on members to ensure they get 20 percent of their energy from renewable resources by 2020.
