Sonnedix it signed its first power purchase agreement (PPA) in Poland with Re Alloys Sp. z o.o. the contract will allow it to supply the ferroalloy manufacturer with electricity from the Wdziekon Drugi solar park. As part of the agreement, the company will supply 13 GWh of renewable electricity over a one-year period, consolidating its presence in the Polish energy market.
According to the announced conditions, the supply will come from one of Sonnedix’s main photovoltaic assets in the country. The agreement connects solar power generation with the demand of an energy-intensive industry dedicated to the production of ferrosilicon, reinforcing the role of corporate PPAs as a tool to boost the consumption of electricity from renewable sources.
Wdziekon Drugi will support renewable energy supply
He solar park Wdziekon Drugi has an installed capacity of 14.5 MW and is Sonnedix’s largest operating asset in Poland. The facility is located in the Podlasie region in the northeast of the country and is part of the WD photovoltaic complex.
Furthermore, this complex comprises three plants with a combined installed capacity of 21 MW, it began operations in 2024 and generates approximately 24.5 GWh of renewable electricity annually, equivalent to the consumption of nearly 13,000 local households. Within this complex, Wdziekon Drugi will be the facility responsible for supplying the energy committed to Re Alloys under the new power purchase agreement.
The PPA connects solar energy and industry
For Re Alloys, the contract represents the incorporation of renewable electricity to their industrial processes for producing ferroalloys. This type of agreement allows companies with high energy consumption to secure part of their demand through direct contracts with renewable energy producers.
For its part, Sonnedix strengthens its commercial strategy by guaranteeing the sale of part of the production from its photovoltaic park. The agreement also reflects the growth of the corporate PPA market in Poland, where more and more companies are turning to this model to reduce their exposure to the volatility of the electricity market and advance their sustainability goals.
In this case, the 13 GWh committed represent more than half of the estimated annual production of the WD complex, demonstrating the ability of this asset to supply industrial customers through dedicated supply contracts.
Sonnedix strengthens its growth in Poland
Sonnedix entered the Polish market in 2022 after acquiring the solar project developer Sun Power Energy. A year later, it commissioned Sonnedix Ciechanowiec, its first photovoltaic park in the country, with an installed capacity of 2 MW.
Subsequently, the company added the WD complex to its portfolio of operating assets, strengthening its presence in the Polish market. Sonnedix currently reports having a pipeline of projects under development of approximately 1.51 GW in Poland, demonstrating its commitment to expanding its renewable generation capacity in the country.
The new contract signed with Re Alloys adds a commercial component to that strategy by combining the growth of its photovoltaic capacity with energy supply agreements to industrial consumers.
A contract aligned with Sonnedix’s European strategy
During 2026, Sonnedix also promoted initiatives related to expanding its renewable portfolio, hybridizing assets, and developing energy storage solutions in various European markets. These included the addition of new projects in Italy, the signing of commercial agreements to support its renewable energy production, and the development of hybrid solutions with battery storage systems in Portugal.
In Poland, this first PPA with Re Alloys marks an important step within that growth strategy, the agreement demonstrates how the combination of photovoltaic generation and long-term supply contracts continues to gain prominence in the European market renewable energies, facilitating industry access to solar-generated electricity and providing stability to both producers and consumers.
