The European Investment Bank agreed more than PLN1.12bn (\u20ac260mn) in financing for Tauron\u2019s 190MW Miejska G\u00f3rka wind farm in western Poland, which is set to become the country\u2019s second-largest onshore facility, the EU lender said on July 29.<\/p>\n
Construction is advanced and Tauron plans to commission the project in 2027. More than 50 turbines, each with a capacity of 3.6MW and a height exceeding 130 metres, will generate enough electricity to supply nearly 200,000 households.<\/p>\n
The EIB loan will cover more than half of the project\u2019s total cost and has an 18-year maturity. Miejska G\u00f3rka will be Tauron\u2019s largest onshore wind farm and forms part of the utility\u2019s plan to reach climate neutrality by 2040.<\/p>\n
\u201cFavourable parameters, including attractive interest rates and an 18-year-long tenure, are particularly important to us,\u201d Tauron deputy chief executive for finance Krzysztof Surma said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The agreement is the ninth financing deal between the EIB and Tauron and the second-largest loan signed by the two institutions, after a PLN2.8bn agreement in 2021. Earlier financing covered projects including power grids and hybrid bonds.<\/p>\n
Tauron, Poland\u2019s second-largest energy group, serves 6mn customers and operates across around 18% of the country\u2019s territory. Its renewable portfolio has reached 1,000MW of installed capacity, including 16 onshore wind farms and six solar plants.<\/p>\n
The project will use mainly European subcontractors and is expected to support employment and regional development while increasing renewable generation in Poland\u2019s electricity mix, the EIB said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The European Investment Bank agreed more than PLN1.12bn (\u20ac260mn) in financing for Tauron\u2019s 190MW Miejska G\u00f3rka wind farm…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19235,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[12218,764,12111,520,5276,8246,9,8247,2539,2475,6504],"class_list":["post-19234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-poland","tag-banking","tag-credit","tag-eib","tag-energy","tag-gpw","tag-intellinews","tag-poland","tag-renewables","tag-tauron","tag-wind-power","tag-wse"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19234"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19234\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
