Axpo Polska has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Akuo for energy offtake from a wind farm in Poland’s Silesia region. Located in Wielowieś, the plant has an installed capacity of 66 MW and is projected to generate approximately 220 GWh of green energy annually.
Axpo Polska Head of Origination and Board Member Mateusz Marczewski said: “Large-scale investments such as this confirm Poland’s huge wind potential. We are keen to cooperate on such projects, supporting partners with our knowledge and international experience. As a reliable and stable partner, we also provide financial guarantees to our parent company from Switzerland. I am pleased that the flexible solution we proposed has been appreciated by Akuo and we can work together for the development of renewable energy in Poland.”
Eric Scotto, CEO of Akuo said: “Being aware of the challenges facing the energy industry, we value working with reliable partners who can provide us with effective support. Thanks to their experience and expertise, negotiations with experts from Axpo Polska went very smoothly. Our good relationship is also supported by the fact that we share the same values in terms of sustainability and commitment to the energy transition.”
Axpo, one of Poland’s largest independent green energy offtakers, has operated in the Polish market for over 20 years. This PPA marks Axpo’s first partnership with Akuo in Poland, though the companies collaborate in France, where they have a long-term Flexibility Purchase Agreement (FPA) for Akuo’s energy storage. Through this agreement, Axpo ensures minimum annual revenues from market arbitrage for over 10 years.
