Anton Milner, CEO of ib vogt, said: “We are very pleased with the progress of this, our first major plant in Poland – with more to come – which is the result of many years of engagement in the country. It marks a significant milestone for ib vogt and our activities in Central and Eastern Europe.”
The developer has signed an agreement with virtual power plant provider Next Kraftwerke to trade the electricity at the Polish exchange TGE.
