Critical stages in the wind farm construction process

1. Site selection

   Several factors determine the attractiveness of a location. The key one is the wind potential of a given area. In our resources, we have data from over 100 meteorological masts, which worked for a period of min. 14 months. This enables us to diagnose the wind attractiveness of almost any place in the country. Read more about other location criteria on our blog will be published shortly.

2. Analysis of the local zoning plan - Local spatial development plan (LSDP)

   When choosing land for an investment, the area in which it is located should first be analysed in terms of the currently valid planning document: LSDP. 

3. Administrative procedures

   An extensive and time-consuming stage of the process that determines the formal and legal aspects of the investment.

4. Obtaining the ownership title to real estate

   The essence of this stage is to determine the form of ownership from which the legal title to the real estate arises. It should be remembered that the land directly under the investment and issues related to access to the farm are subject to security. It is also essential to determine the location of the power line together with a notarised transmission easement and the lease of the space in which the turbine rotor rotates – usually outside the plot on which the foundation is located.

5. Application documentation for terms of connection to the power network

   An extract from the LSDP is required at this stage of the project.

6. Building Permit

   It is the final stage of the project before the development begins.

7. Concession licence

   This document guarantees the investor’s safety who commences operations in a given project by investing financial resources. According to current legal regulations, the oldest wind power plant that can be connected to the National Power System cannot be more than 72 months old from the date of manufacture.

8. Construction and commissioning of a wind farm

   Among others, the construction of access roads, foundations and a manoeuvring area, the foundation of the mast, the wind turbine and the connection of the wind power plant to other elements of the technical infrastructure.

9. Obtaining the concession

   Applies to investors who wish to generate electricity from renewable energy sources with a total installed electrical capacity of no less than 500 kW. They want to store it, sell it to the grid or distribute it. At this stage, you need to complete the documentation for the entire project and submit an application to the Energy Regulatory Office (URE of Poland) for auctioning.

10. Launch of electricity generation
