Project value chain
2-3 years
Initial Analysis
At the beginning of each project RWE performs a detailed analysis of the site and potential grid connection options. We focus on those projects with a very high likelihood of success.
Project Development
We benefit from more than 10 years of development experience in Poland. Our team has in depth knowledge about all development stages and considers its external stakeholders as long term partners.
Financing
RWE is listed on the German stock exchange has a market capitalization of more than 20bn Euros. RWE does not need bank financing for its PV projects but can rely on its own strong balance sheet.
Engineering
The combination of our global engineering hub in combination with local engineering resources guarantee that our projects will be developed with the highest technological standards.
1-2 years
Construction
For the construction works we rely on top tier EPC companies which are closely lead by our inhouse construction managers. This way we ensure a smooth construction phase and high heath and safety standards.
30-35 years
Sale of Electricity
RWE has managed to be successful in the Polish auction for renewable energy with all its three technologies (Offshore Wind, Onshore Wind and Solar). As an alternative we can rely on our dedicated PPA team. For example our Windpark Nowy Staw sells its electricity via a PPA to Asahi breweries.
Operation & Maintenance
A high availability of our plants is key for the long term profitability of the project. Therefore, we put a lot of effort into the maintenance of our PV parks. This way we are confident that the PV park could be operated for at least 35 years from a technical perspective.
2 Months
Decommissioning
At the end of the lifetime of each PV park we completely decommission the plant and return it to its pervious status.
