Gniew
Gniew : Wind power committed to the energy transition
Gniew is a wind power plant near the beautiful, historical city of the same name in the north of Poland with a capacity of 22 MW generated by 11 turbines.
The plant is part of a portfolio of three major wind farm projects (along with Wielowies and EP 44) with a cumulative capacity of 132 MW that became operational in 2021.
The plants, inaugurated in October 2021 and developed in partnership with Mirova, an investment management company 100% devoted to sustainable investment and an affiliate of Natixis, are enabling Akuo to help Poland achieve its ambitious energy transitions objectives. Still very dependent on coal, Poland wants to increase the proportion of renewables in the country’s energy mix in line with European targets, i.e. 42.5% by 2030.
