The solar park in Recz, with a capacity of nearly 29 MW, will generate approximately 30 GWh of energy per year, powered by almost 53,000 panels. This will cover the energy needs of more than 12,000 Polish households. The park covers an area of about 28 hectares.
Frederik de Jong, head of renewable energy at Ingka Investments said, “Since 2009 and as part of a EUR 7.5 billion initiative to support 100 percent renewable energy consumption across the value chain and beyond, Ingka Investments has invested and committed EUR 4.2 billion into renewable energy projects in wind and solar power. The investment scope also includes innovation and transitional technologies, such as energy storage, hydrogen as an energy carrier, or grid infrastructure.”
Ingka Investments has been operating in the Polish market since 2011. The company operates seven wind projects, with a total capacity of 242 MW. In September 2024, the company inaugurated a 62.5 MW wind farm in Wysoka, featuring cutting-edge wind turbine technology.
Following the inauguration of the investment in Recz, Ingka Group’s portfolio in Poland now comprises of seven wind farms and one solar park. The energy generated covers the annual energy consumption of approximately 260,000 households.
“The solar park in Recz represents another milestone in our long-term strategy for investing in renewable energy sources and strengthening energy security in Poland. By expanding our commitment to include solar technology, we firmly believe that the diversity of renewable energy sources is fundamental to building a more sustainable future,” says Ewa Teodorczyk, Ingka Investments Country Manager in Poland.
The solar park in Recz was built in cooperation with Enerparc, one of Europe’s leading renewable energy project developers. The solar park will further support Ingka Group’s commitment to consume 100% renewable electricity across its retail operations by FY25 and contribute to the overall IKEA net zero emission commitment by 2050. Ingka Group’s renewable energy assets in Poland produce more energy than is consumed by IKEA stores, centres, warehouses, and offices.
