Karścino Wind Farm, second largest in Poland

Wind power is a minor but growing source of electricity in Poland. As of the end of 2015, total installed capacity was 5,100 megawatts (MW)[1], which provided 10,858 gigawatt-hours (GW·h)[2] — around 6.22% of the electricity consumed in the country.[3] By year end 2016 total installed capacity had risen to 5,782 MW.[2]

Energy production sources are also registered by the state Office of Control of Electricity.[4]

History

From 2012 to 2014 the Nowy Tomyśl Wind Turbines were the tallest wind turbines in the world with a pinnacle height of 210 metres. They are still the tallest wind turbines installed on lattice towers.
