Uniper has finalized a share purchase agreement with local project developer Photon Energy Group for the acquisition of a 20.4 MW photovoltaic project in northeastern Poland. The deal is set to close by the end of 2024, contingent upon achieving ready-to-build status.
Situated in the province of Wysokie Mazowieckie, within the municipality of Szepietewo, the project marks a significant addition to Uniper’s growing pipeline in Poland. Pawel Tarczewski, Head of Solar & Wind Development Poland at Uniper Renewables, expressed the company’s ambition to achieve a project pipeline of approximately one gigawatt (GW) in Poland in the medium to long term.
Uniper’s strategic focus lies in revolutionizing the energy industry through adaptable, balanced, and tailored forms of energy generation. With an investment plan totaling around €8 billion between 2023 and 2030, the company aims to modernize its power plants, facilities, and invest in flexible, secure power generation assets, including solar and wind power plants.
By 2030, Uniper targets utilizing over 80 percent of its installed power plant capacity for CO2-free electricity production, phasing out coal-based electricity production by 2029 at the latest.
In alignment with its broader European strategy, Uniper aims to develop ten gigawatts of onshore wind and solar PV farms across key markets like Germany, France, UK, Italy, Sweden, Hungary, and Poland by 2030, bringing them to ready-to-build status. Additionally, the company is committed to advancing three GW of renewables to investment maturity by 2025.
