ABO Energy Awarded Contract for First Polish Solar Park

ABO Energy has received a tariff contract from the Polish energy regulatory authority URE for its first Polish solar park in Gubin, western Poland. The project has a maximum capacity of 17 megawatt peak and will supply more than 6,000 households with electricity. The solar park is being built on the site of a former military range in Gubin in the Lubuskie voivodeship.

“In 2022, we connected our first wind farm in Donaborów to the grid, and now we are building our first solar park in Gubin – an important step for ABO Energy Polska. We are very pleased that, following grid connection approval, we have now also won a tariff. “In any case, we are convinced that onshore wind energy will play an important role in Poland again in the future and are therefore continuing to work intensively on several wind projects,” says Aleksandra Koska, Managing Director of ABO Energy Polska.

 “Solar energy and battery storage had a slightly easier time and we hope that realisation of our solar park in Gubin will help us to further expand our strong position in the Polish market. Thanks to the excellent work of our colleagues in Łódź, Warsaw, Wrocław and Kraków and the support of our German parent company with its nearly 30 years of experience, we are very well positioned to help shape the Polish energy transition,” adds Koska.

“The outlook for renewable energies in Poland is very good. The country is experiencing high economic growth and has an electricity demand of around 160 terawatt hours. Till now, coal has played the leading role, but that is currently changing. In June 2025, renewables overtook coal in electricity generation for the first time. The goal is for their share of the electricity mix to rise from the current 29 per cent to 56 per cent by 2030,” says Dr. Klaus Pötter, General Manager.

The expansion of onshore wind energy in Poland is currently still being slowed down by a 10H distance rule. According to this rule, a wind turbine must be located at a distance ten times its height from the nearest residential development, unless the local community agrees through the Local Development Plan to place the turbines closer, at a minimum distance of 700 m. The legislature is seeking to relax this regulation.
