Buk Project

The administrative procedure for issuing the environmental decision for Buk was carried out by the competent authorities, i.e. the Mayor of the Buk Commune and Town. In the course of the administrative procedure, the State Sanitary Inspector, the State Water Management Company Wody Polskie and the Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection (RDOS) in Poznań were asked for an opinion in the proceedings. It was found that there was no need to conduct an environmental impact assessment for the planned project.

The procedure ended with the issuance of a decision on environmental conditions (document no. IP.6220.24.2018 issued on 28 November 2018) permitting for the construction and installation of nine photovoltaic farms with a capacity of up to 1 MW each together with the necessary technical infrastructure, with staging. Construction work began in the summer of 2021 and was completed in the spring of 2022.

The total area of the farms is 11 ha. The power of a single solar panel is 540 Wp, and the number of photovoltaic modules is as many as 11,908. The expected annual production of green energy is 7.2 GWh. This will avoid the emission of nearly 7 tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere annually. The working life of the installation is estimated at 25 years.
