Project Grace: Grajewo & Sulmierzyce Wind Farms (CAT B PROJECT)
23 June 2021
Project Grace consists if a portfolio of two onshore wind farms (Grajewo, Sulmierzyce, located in Poland. The Projects has a capacity of respectively 23.1 MW comprising of 7 wind turbine generators (WTGs) of 3.5 MW each in Sulmierzyce and second one with capacity 40 MW comprising 12 wind turbine generators (WTGs) of 3.5 MW each in Grajewo. The project is a CAT B project
Site specific environmental and social impacts of the Project were assessed as part of due diligence. These can be minimised through implementation of mitigation measures and relevant monitoring and management techniques. Both sub projects were approved by relevant Competent Authorities in 2015, following EIA procedures with public engagement. The original permits were for 10 and 22 WTGs respectively.
Ultimately, due to both social economic considerations, a smaller capacity than originally permitted will be installed and such smaller capacity obtained valid construction permits in 2016 and 2019. Both Projects have valid permits and are included in the local development plans. An independent ESDD was undertaken which confirmed that each of the wind farms is compliant with national legislation and appropriate EIA process was undertaken in compliance with the EU EIA Directive, Habitats and Birds Directives, including those related to Appropriate Assessment. The Consultant also confirmed that the project and each wind farm is designed to meet EBRD PRs and IFC PS.
The project will contribute to climate change mitigation and Polish energy green transition by increasing the share of renewable energy generation in Poland and add 63.1 MW wind generation capacity to the national energy system.
