Technology heavyweight Cisco has entered into a 15-year virtual power purchase agreement with R.Power for 470GWh of solar energy from four new projects in Poland.
This is just the latest in a series of huge investments in renewables across Central Europe, where solar capacity is growing at a rate twice faster than anywhere else in the EU.
In fact, the Visegrad Group (which is the collective name for Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Czechia) saw solar output increase sixfold between 2019 and 2024. In other words, it is booming.
Cisco’s VPPA, which has been facilitated by SR Inc’s Net Zero Consortium for Buyers, will support the development of solar farms at Wydartowo, Bieżyce, Ostrzeniewo III and Nowy Zagór III, with a commercial operation date targeted for 2027.
