Bełchatów to play host to major wind power plant

In 18 months, power might start flowing from wind generators located in the neighborhood of the largest national power plant in Bełchatów, which is also participating in the investment. The project will be sited on Góra Kamieńsk, a former brown coal depot, currently managed by the forestry commission. After analyzing wind speeds in the area, it turned out that 15 generators with a generating capacity of 2 Megawatts could be installed on the site. The cost of the project has been placed at EUR 32 million, with company shareholders declaring they will cover up to 30% of the sum. The project is being run by three companies, power plant ES-P, Elbis and Termall. "Construction of the plant is not time-consuming, but we need to build infrastructure, which might take a few months. We will start work at the beginning of next year after receiving all the necessary permits," said Norbert Skibiński, involved with supervising the project. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B3) M.M.
