VSB Poland has started construction of its 303-megawatt peak (MWp) Brzezinka photovoltaic park in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, the company said on Thursday, marking one of the largest hybrid renewable energy projects in Poland and Europe.
The site, located northeast of Wrocław, will also include a 106 MW battery energy storage system and cover more than 260 hectares. The project will involve installation of approximately 467,000 solar modules and 70 kilometres of cable, with full commissioning expected by the end of 2027.
The groundbreaking ceremony took place across the municipality of Oleśnica and the districts of Brzezinka and Syców. VSB said this phase represents the first stage of development, with approval underway for an additional 245 MW wind farm at the site.
Lower Silesian Voivodeship deputy director of economy and promotion Lukasz Kasprzak said the project aligns with regional energy priorities. “The Brzezinka project is fully in line with the goals of the voivodeship’s energy strategy, which focuses on modern, low-emission energy sources and strengthening regional energy security,” Kasprzak said. He added, “This investment shows the great impact that can be achieved through cooperation between government, local partners, companies and investors, creating jobs and promoting sustainable development.”
VSB Poland Managing Director Hubert Kowalski highlighted the collaboration with local partners. “The close cooperation with our local partners and land owners shows how sustainable energy generation, economic development and community go hand in hand and create real added value,” Kowalski said.
VSB Group Chief Executive Felix Grolman said the project will integrate solar, battery storage, and future wind energy. “The start of construction for the Brzezinka project is the start of an energy park that will closely interlink wind energy and battery storage in addition to photovoltaics,” he said. Grolman added, “We are paving the way for further investments, because Poland offers ideal conditions for renewable energy expansion due to rising electricity demand and a stabilising political framework.”
