German renewable energy developer VSB Group has received a contract for difference (CfD) for a 303 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar project in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.

The contract was issued by the Polish Energy Regulatory Office (URE).

The project will be one of the largest photovoltaic (PV) parks in Poland.

The construction of this ground-mounted PV plant, currently in the development phase, is scheduled to begin in October 2025.

The plant spans more than 260 hectares northeast of Wrocław and will provide enough clean power for 117,000 households annually.

This initiative profits from a 15-year CfD that will provide long-term price stability. The anticipated grid connection for this project is expected in the second quarter (Q2) of 2027.

VSB Poland managing director Hubert Kowalski stated: “With this project, we are setting a new benchmark for solar energy in Poland. In just a few years, it could evolve into one of Europe’s largest hybrid energy projects, combining photovoltaics, battery storage and wind power.

“Its success will depend on economic conditions and future regulatory frameworks. At VSB, we maintain an ongoing dialogue with local communities to jointly develop stable, utility-scale renewable energy solutions. Projects like this would stand no chance without the consent and support of local stakeholders."

This is VSB Poland’s second major project in recent years, and follows Miejska Górka – currently the largest wind project in Poland with an installed capacity of 190.8MW. It was developed by VSB for TAURON Zielona Energia.

VSB Group CEO Dr Felix Grolman stated: “We are proud to actively contribute to the energy transition with this flagship photovoltaic project – one of the largest in Poland. It embodies the scale and ambition needed to drive meaningful change, while enhancing energy security in Poland and across Europe. This solar park marks a significant milestone on that journey.”

In September 2024, TAURON Polska Energia's subsidiary, TAURON Zielona Energia, made an agreement to acquire project rights for Miejska Górka, expected to be operational by early 2027, from the VSB Group.
