2021: Jasna wind farm: setting standards for onshore wind energy in Poland

Jasna wind farm is a project completed by PNE that stands out in many respects. It was built in the north of Poland in a location with consistently favourable wind conditions and boasts a total output of 132 megawatts, making Jasna the largest onshore project that PNE has been able to realise to date. 

The dimensions of the wind farm are remarkable, featuring 39 wind turbines extending over a distance of some 17 kilometres. The technical side of the project was particularly challenging – especially when connecting the turbines to the power grid. The high-voltage line stretches over about 70 kilometres and runs under two rivers, among other things. Special boring techniques were used to cross the Vistula and Nogat, with the longest crossing point measuring almost one and a half kilometres. 

The project was developed in close collaboration with the Polish subsidiary Sevivon. Various units of PNE AG were also involved in the construction phase. Upon completion of the work, the wind farm was handed over to Stadtwerke München ready for construction. Jasna officially went online in January 2021. 

The project shows how even challenging conditions in the field of renewable energies can be mastered through international cooperation and technical solutions.
