The company commissioned the Taczalin wind farm under a power purchase agreement (PPA) executed in 2018.
The Taczalin wind farm delivers 45.1MW of clean energy to Mercedes-Benz’s production site in Jawor.
At present, VSB is engaged in the construction of the 42.6MW Baranów-Rychtal wind farm, which is due to be commissioned next year.
In February this year, VSB Group’s VSB Énergies Nouvelles acquired a 143.5MW wind energy portfolio in France in partnership with ADE and 3N Développement.
The portfolio comprises nine wind energy assets with a combined total of 37 wind turbines.
The assets are located across Allier, Creuse, Isère, Oise, Pas-de-Calais and Puy de Dôme.
Their acquisition was part of VSB Énergies Nouvelles’ efforts to become one of France’s top five independent renewable energy producers through partnerships and acquisitions.
