Small PV farms linked directly to the major energy sector
The two sites, covering a total area of around 29 hectares, will be connected to the Energa Operator S.A. distribution network which is one of Poland’s largest electricity distribution system operators managing local grids and connecting renewable energy projects. projects. Energa Operator is part of the Energa Group, which itself is a major Polish energy company and has been a part of the Orlen Group since 2020. Orlen Group – often just referred Orlen – is one of Central and Eastern Europe’s largest integrated energy and petrochemical groups, and has uundertaken a shift towards Renewable Energy in recent years. With their strategy "Orlen2030" the Group aims to increase investments in low- and zero-emission energy sources to adapt to the energy transition.

The role of PAD RES
According to PAD RES, the projects in the Biesiekierz commune reflect the company’s broader strategy to grow its renewable energy portfolio in response to Poland’s accelerating energy transition. Driven by rising electricity demand, EU climate targets, and investor interest in clean infrastructure, the Polish renewables sector is expanding rapidly – especially in solar and wind. PAD RES, established in 2010 and based in Warsaw, is positioning itself at the forefront of this shift. Since being acquired in 2021 by Griffin Capital Partners and Kajima Europe, the company has secured access to greater financing and development capacity. As of 2024, PAD RES is developing renewable energy assets totaling more than 2 gigawatts (GW), reinforcing its role as a key contributor to Poland’s low-emission energy future. “The construction of these photovoltaic farms is another significant step in supporting the growth of green energy in Poland,” said Wojciech Jasiński, Director of Construction at PAD RES.
