Le Pomerania Wind Farm

Start & End Date: 2020-Ongoing

Country/Countries: Poland

Multilateral Institution(s) Involved: European Investment Bank

To combat climate change we need to stop burning coal to produce electricity and use renewable sources instead. Lower income regions dependent on coal need new industries so that they don’t lose out in the EU’s transition to a carbon-neutral economy. Wind farms generate electricity without emitting CO2. T

The project will finance a 94 MW onshore wind farm located in the northern part of Poland in Pomeranian Voivodship, approximately 50 km from the coastline of the Bay of Gdansk.

The project will contribute to environmental and security of energy supply objectives. The project is located in a Cohesion priority region. It is therefore eligible under Article 309 (a) projects for developing less-developed regions and (c) common interest. The financing of this project would contribute to the EIB's lending priority policy on social cohesion, renewable energy and climate action. he project supports job creation in the green energy sector in a cohesion priority region historically dependent on coal.
