Dębsk Wind Farm

The Debsk Wind Farm is the largest onshore RES investment in Polenergia's history and one of the largest wind farms in Poland. The project was implemented by Polenergia Farma Wiatrowa 3 Sp. z o.o., which is 100% owned by Polenergia.

121 MW

wind farm capacity

183 thous.

number of households

The project is located in an area delineated by the villages of Zielona (northwest corner), Kuczbork (northeast corner), Wólka Kliczewska (east corner), Małocin (southeast corner), Dębsk (south corner), Chamsk (southwest corner), in the communes of Żuromin and Kuczbork-Osada, Żuromin county, Mazowieckie Voivodeship. Fifteen wind turbines will be located in Kuczbork-Osada commune and the remaining 4o in Żuromin commune.

The environmental impact assessment (EIA) procedure for the Dębsk Wind Farm was conducted by the competent authorities, i.e. the Mayor of Żuromin Commune and the Mayor of Kuczbork-Osada Commune. In accordance with the requirements of the Act on Disclosure of Information on the Environment and its Protection, Public Participation in Environmental Protection and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), during the EIA procedure the competent authorities – State Sanitary Inspectorate and Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection (RDOS) – gave positive opinions on the project. As part of the EIA procedure, public consultations were conducted that allowed for the participation of project stakeholders. The procedure ended with issuing two decisions on environmental conditions allowing for the construction of up to 62 wind turbines and the necessary infrastructure:

  • Decision on environmental conditions issued by the Mayor of Kuczbork-Osada Commune for the project involving the construction of the “Żuromin FW2” wind farm with a total maximum capacity of 87 MW, which will consist of up to 29 wind power plants with a capacity of 3 MW each, underground connections to the substation, internal access roads (document no. GKB 7624-6/09/10/11 issued on 4 January 2011);
  • Decision on environmental conditions issued by the Mayor of Żuromin Commune and Town for the construction of the “Żuromin FW3” wind farm with a total maximum capacity of 99 MW, which will consist of: up to 33 wind power plants with acoustic power not exceeding 106.5 dB each and a capacity of up to 3 MW each (document no. IBGKiOŚ 7624-48/09/10 issued on 7 January 2011).

In 2019 an additional wildlife survey was carried out. The survey took place in May and June and was designed to assess whether the 2009 monitoring results remain representative and whether changes in land use have occurred that could affect the attractiveness of the sites to birds and bats. The results of the bird and bat observations confirmed the conclusions of the monitoring conducted in 2009. No new valuable habitats were identified at the wind farm site.

The project was also granted a building permit for the wind turbines with the associated infrastructure. The company ultimately decided to build 55 wind turbines.

The capacity of the individual Vestas V110-2.2 MW wind turbines will be 2.2 MW. The parameters of the wind turbines will be as follows:

  • hub height: 120 m
  • rotor diameter: 110 m

Energy generated by the wind turbines of the Dębsk Wind Farm is sent via underground cable lines to the Transformer Station. After voltage transformation to 110 kV, the energy is sent without an intermediate station directly to the Kruszcze Transformer Station near Płock, via a 62-km (longest in Europe) underground high voltage alternating current power cable.

Prior to the start of construction, in August 2020, training was held for all subcontractors involved in the construction process. The training pertained to occupational health and safety and environmental protection issues. It was also aimed at familiarizing subcontractors with the requirements of project financing institutions as well as Polenergia Group’s environmental and social policy and standards of conduct for Partners (vendors and subcontractors). The construction was regularly monitored by specialists from BIOEKSPERT  responsible for environmental supervision.

The estimated annual production of the Dębsk Wind Farm will approximate 366 GWh, which correspondents to demand for electricity of 183,000 households. This means that all residents of Ciechanów, Mława, Płońsk, Pułtusk and Żuromin counties may be fully supplied with green wind energy. When working at full capacity, within just one minute the farm can produce electricity that is needed by one household within a year. One turbine, working at full capacity, within a minute can produce electricity for an electric vehicle to ride for almost 200 km.

Completion of the Dębsk Wind Farm is a significant step in Polish green transformation. Within a year, it will be possible to avoid emission of pollution on the level reaching even:

318,000 tons of CO2
299 tons of SO2
302 tons of NOX
106 tons of CO
18 tons of dust

The investment will also reduce the use of hard coal by 168,000 tons annually, which significantly changes the national energy market and develops zero emission economy fully reliant on the Renewable Energy Sources.

Construction of the Debsk WF began in July 2020 and was completed in January 2023, with the concession for production of electric energy.
