EDF Group subsidiary EDF Renewables has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Budimex for realising investments in offshore wind farm development in Poland.

The two companies will focus on the second phase of offshore development in the country on a 50/50 basis.

In the second phase, EDF Renewables and Budimex have identified 11 new sites for the development of offshore wind farms in the Polish area of the Baltic Sea.

The 11 sites identified are expected to reach 11GW of capacity in total.

Offshore wind farm development would support Poland’s energy transition and create a new energy source in the country, while reducing its reliance on coal for power generation.

Budimex has established itself as the largest general contractor of infrastructure projects in Poland.
