Episode notes
Strategic Shift To An IPP Model
- R.Power transitioned from develop-build-sell to develop-build-hold to scale as a multi-technology IPP.
- The 2023 minority stake sale to Amber Infrastructure and EBRD accelerated that shift and growth plans.
PV Drives Near-Term Renewables Growth
- Poland currently hosts ~11 GW onshore wind and ~22 GW PV, with forecasts to double by 2035.
- PV leads deployment because it is much faster to develop than onshore wind.
700m Waiver Reopens Wind Opportunities
- The 10H rule originally blocked wind but a 700m municipal waiver revived development potential.
- 700m isn't ideal but opens substantial new land for projects and developer activity.
