Polenergia To Invest in Edison Energia

Edison Energia is one of the fastest developing Polish photovoltaic companies. It offers innovative solutions in the area of photovoltaics, heat and optimised energy consumption. In less than two years, the company built over 20,000 photovoltaic installations for individual and business clients with a total capacity of 120 MWp. Every month, a team of almost 1,500 employees and contracting partners builds over 1,000 installations, which gives it the fifth place in Europe. Edison Energia is also one of the fastest growing fitters of heat pumps.

The transaction solidifies Polenergia’s leading position in the process of transforming the Polish energy sector into a zero emission economy. The Group is expanding its operation onto new business segments and procures access to top quality national sales network, a large database of clients and an extensive portfolio of innovative products and services. It efficiently diversifies the present-day areas of its operation and is becoming an important player at the newly-created market segment. The progressing decentralisation of the national energy sector, in which Polenergia has been participating for a long time, is already offering tangible benefits for the economy and the society. Significant technological progress nowadays allows for construction of environmentally friendly sources of generation and management of energy directly by the end recipients and allows for accomplishing a positive economic effect and stabilisation of expenses by the end clients.

The investment in Edison Energy forms a part of Polenergia’s vision of creating values for all stakeholders. It will allow for the participation of clients in technological progress, giving them access to innovative products relying on the sale of clean, green energy compliant with the Energia 2051 standard and will protect them from energy price raises. In the years to come, the end recipients will be able to get measurable benefits from using new generation energy, characterised by a full symbiosis of large-scale energy and prosumer energy. For the hitherto clients of Edison Energia, the change of ownership will not cause any additional formalities.

Photovoltaic projects are currently the main drivers of the national energy transformation. Thanks to continuous investments, the capacity of photovoltaic installations in the last 12 months was doubled and exceeded 5 GW. This makes up almost 10% of the entire capacity of the Polish energy system. A dynamic growth of this segment is confirmed by the data from the Ministry of Climate and the Environment. In 2015, only 4,000 prosumers operated in Poland. At the present moment, there are approx. 700,000 of them.
