The Regional SEAP for the Wielkopolska Region (Wielkopolski Regionalny Plan Działań na Rzecz Zrównoważonej Energii w zakresie źródeł odnawialnych i efektywności energetycznej) was approved by the Board of the Wielkopolska Region on 6th of December, 2012.
Wielkopolska, in comparison with other regions, can boast of very well-developed infrastructure. The region is especially well provided with power, a developed railway network and perfectly organised air transport. Also, a model of electric energy, natural gas and oil supply is crucial. Good infrastructure is the basis of all investments. There are many of them in Wielkopolska, which means that the infrastructure meets the needs of entrepreneurs. However, both the region’s authorities, as well as its inhabitants, still see the need for further development of the infrastructure base.
Wielkopolska is mostly industrial area with areas of some good prospering farms. Almost 58% of region populations live in cities and towns, and around 42 % in the country. However, only 26 % of population works in agriculture sector. In the industrial sector the biggest branch is manufacturing (92% of industrial employment), followed by electricity & gas & water supply (5%) and mining and quarrying constitutes just 3%.
Forest area is about 800 thousands ha, i.e. 25,8 % of total area of the region.
There are about 800 lakes within the lake districts in north and central part of the region. The biggest lake in Wielkopolska Region is Powidz Lake (1036 ha of area).
Wielkopolskie Voivodship is covered by nature protection area. There are 2 national parks and 12 landscape parks in the region.
The Wielkopolska Region is located in the lowland river basin of three rivers: the Warta, Notec and Prosna.
Wielkopolska is quite well provided for when it comes to electric energy. The national grid in the region consists of 400, 220 and 110 kV lines and a well-developed system of transformer stations. The main energy provider for Wielkopolska is Zespol Elektrowni Patnow I i II – Adamow – Konin S.A., which supplies the market with around 14% of all electric energy generated in the country. It is also the second largest producer of brown coal energy. Other important providers include Dalkia Poznan ZEC (formerly Zespol Elektrocieplowni Poznanskich S.A.) – heat and power plants Garbary in Poznan and Kalisz-Piwonice, as well as Energetyka Poznanska Zaklad Elektrowni Wodnych Sp. z o.o., which has five hydroelectric power stations on the Gwda River. In accordance with European Union guidelines on the use of renewable energy sources, the authorities of Wielkopolska strive to increase the share of wind energy as well as biomass in the overall energy output in the region. They also put efforts into developing geothermal power. Current research shows that there are geothermal waters of 300 to 800ºC at a depth of 800 plus metres in areas of older geological formations.
The most important international transit and main pipelines of national significance run through the region. The Yamal gas pipeline currently connects Russia with Western Europe, and there are plans to build a second, parallel line. The Yamal pipeline would then supply gas to the northern and central part of the Wielkopolska region. However, at present its gas supply needs are covered by local sources of gas in the southern and central part of Wielkopolska, with the deposits making 28% of the country’s reserves. Furthermore, there are to date no exploited gas deposits in the area of Koscian and Wolsztyn. Geological research confirms that there may be rich deposits of gas and petroleum in the south-eastern part of Wielkopolska.
Moreover, Dalkia has begun the construction of biomass boilers thanks to which since the year 2012 it will achieve the 18% of RES production in Poland. The installed power is 67 green MW of electricity. The conversion of two biomass boilers for burning 100% of biomass has started in Poznan and Lodz. It is assumed that around 600 000 tones of biomass will be burned by the end of the year 2011. The forest biomass will constitute 80% of the batch. This project will allow to eliminate the emission of 460 000 tones of CO2 yearly. Presently the whole required fuel for theses two biomass boilers is already contracted. Most of the fuel will be delivered by the external suppliers but partially it will be harvested from energy crops on the 2000 ha of the Dalkia plantation. Dalkia Polska is presently one of the main entities using RES. Since two years the thermal-electric power station in Poznan co-burns biomass and coal. The biomass share is 10% and this process generates 3% of green energy.
The Regional SEAP for the Wielkopolska Region (Wielkopolski Regionalny Plan Działań na Rzecz Zrównoważonej Energii w zakresie źródeł odnawialnych i efektywności energetycznej) was approved by the Board of the Wielkopolska Region on 6th of December, 2012.
