According to the Polish Energy Management Office, in the latest round of renewable energy tenders held earlier this month, Poland allocated about 870MW of solar photovoltaic mounting bracket projects.

The bidding for solar and wind energy projects with a capacity of more than 1MW has ended. The solar bidder has won a 570MW project with a minimum bid of 0.20785 zloty/kWh (0.05072 USD/kWh), which is slightly lower than that in Poland earlier this year. The lowest bid price of the project. The total amount of onshore wind power winning bids is 460MW.

In another bidding for solar and wind power projects below 1MW, 182 participants submitted 401 bids, all of which were photovoltaic projects. The lowest bid price for this tender is 0.219 zloty/kWh (0.05344 USD/kWh), and it is planned to build a solar energy middle end clamp project with a total volume of about 300MW

URE stated that due to the large number of bids submitted, the basis for selecting the winning bidder is not only the price, but also the order of bidding.

The third tender was also held for hydropower, biomass and geothermal projects. In these three tenders, more than 96% of the winning proposals came from solar energy companies.

In the latest round of tenders announced at the end of October, Poland allowed bidders for the first time to submit bids for hybrid renewable energy projects. The bidders could combine solar photovoltaic power plants and wind power plants. However, at the end of the bidding, no mixed bid proposal was received.

The winning companies in the latest round of tenders include Swedish developer OX2, which has won 28MW solar and nearly 120MW wind power projects.

Katarzyna Suchcicka, manager of OX2 Poland, said: "In order to reduce the price of electricity for Polish consumers and to reduce the local pollution of fossil energy, we need more and more wind energy and photovoltaic projects."

To help Poland achieve its environmental goals, the European Commission recently approved the extension of Poland’s renewable energy tender program until the end of 2027.

According to a research report published by the trade association SolarPower Europe last week, in 2020, Poland developed about 2.5GW of solar energy, and this year another 3.2GW was added. The association stated that in addition to the tender, favorable self-use plans and net metering systems have also promoted the development of photovoltaics in Poland. The tax rebate plan of the net metering system and the household system complement each other.

This year, solar developer Lightsource bp announced that the company will enter the Polish solar film clamp market through the cooperative development of the Polish 757MWp project. Earlier this year, independent power producer RP Global stated that the company is developing solar and wind energy projects in Poland and plans to deliver more than 1GW of projects.
