Our development strategy until 2035 is a response to the dynamically changing market and social environment
and modern technologies that will allow us to become a more flexible and modern energy group

A Strategic Investment of Regional Significance
Construction of the Pelplin Wind Farm officially began in June 2023
The investment was completed on schedule in December 2024
The facility holds a key position in the context of renewable energy installations due to its connection to a crucial grid node (the PSE Pelplin Main Supply Point – 400/110 kV “Pelplin”)
which is one of the most important electricity sources in the northern part of the country
The wind farm is equipped with Siemens Gamesa SG145 turbines
each with a capacity of 5.2 MW and recognised for their efficiency and high performance in large-scale projects
an area known for its favourable wind conditions
the project makes a significant contribution to the country’s energy transition and enhances the resilience of the power grid
helping to reduce the risk of energy shortages
”The entire implementation process of the Pelplin project proves our expertise and ability to execute and deliver
reinforcing our strong position in the Polish market as a leading player in renewable energy development
Pelplin stands as a clear example of an investment conceived from the outset to ensure maximum efficiency and the highest standards,” added Radek Nowak
Greenvolt Group holds a 13.0 GW portfolio across 18 countries
with a strategy to sell 70–80% of these projects at RtB or COD
the Group’s portfolio includes 378 MW of wind and 70 MW of solar
the Group also launched Greenvolt Next last year to drive decentralized renewable energy solutions for self-consumption

Widely regarded as the world’s most valuable book
this two-volume edition usually resides in Poland’s Diocesan Museum in Pelplin and features original oak binding made from Baltic timber
Researchers say the Bible’s turbulent history underscores its rarity: in 1939
and London to Canada to protect it from the outbreak of World War II

Only several dozen copies survive worldwide
The copy from Pelplin is deemed especially significant due to a printing flaw that inadvertently revealed technical insights into Gutenberg’s workshop
Students and doctoral students from universities affiliated to The Fahrenheit Union of Universities in Gdańsk presented innovative prototypes that could change our future to the rector and dean authorities of UG
The ‘Power Plant of the Future’ project was the winner
and its authors will travel to a foreign conference on sustainable energy
The competition organised by Fahrenheit Universities attracted exceptional talent who not only presented their inter-university projects
but also visions that could revolutionise the way we approach ecology
Prototypes such as the Power Plant of the Future
the TIGO Trash-in-Gas-Out and the SolarHealth Hub won praise from the Chapter
which awarded them funding to implement their ideas in June 2024
The presentations of the results of the work during the finale aroused enthusiasm among the participants
who were also eager to ask questions about the implementation and possibilities for further development of these projects
announced his intention to support the development of the SolarHealth Hub project by providing the initiative with additional funding and enabling the implementation of the solution in the Pelplin municipality
He stressed that he saw the potential to improve the quality of life of residents
especially in areas with limited access to medical care
‘This is not the first time that Fahrenheit Colleges has encouraged the student community to create intercollegiate projects
this competition has been focused on a narrower theme and is exclusively about sustainable energy solutions
This competition is an excellent opportunity for young scientists to showcase their skills and ideas
but also to establish interdisciplinary cooperation
We have a lot of talent in Gdańsk that can contribute to making real changes in our everyday life,' said prof
Director of the Daniel Fahrenheit Union of Universities in Gdańsk
The creativity and preparation of the young people is also appreciated by Aramco
the largest fuel and energy company in the world
which awarded a prize for the best presentation for the ‘Power Plant of the Future’ project
This is not the first time Aramco has been involved in supporting educational projects in the spirit of STEM
The inter-university projects presented illustrate the unique ideas of young scientists:

Precious few Gutenberg Bibles exist in the world. Now, UST has its own perfect facsimile. This magnificent facsimile from Pelplin, Poland is a true and rare reproduction to ultimately be housed and displayed in the University’s Doherty Library
The University’s Dean of Libraries Jim Piccininni said
“The Gutenberg will serve as an institutional icon
whose written word represents the blending of Faith and Reason
a guiding principle for why this University was founded.”
The significance of the Gutenberg Bible at UST cannot be overstated
UST’s Gutenberg Bible visionary Lowell Davis ’10 said
“Sacred Scripture as the word of God is the written foundation of the being and doing of any Catholic university
Jerome is still the biblical language of all the teachings of the Church and her liturgy
The Gutenberg Bible is the first book of all libraries since 1455
It is the symbol and perennial role of a Catholic university in the life of the city of Houston
A Rare Representation of Technology and Innovation
Merely 45 known complete copies of the Gutenberg bible survive of the original 185 published
The edition of the copy at UST is the only one in the city’s universities and colleges
The invention of movable type by Johannes Gutenberg in 1450 marked a revolution in communication
And the first book to use the trailblazing technology was the Bible
signaling a new era in which its everlasting words would be available to everyone
The Gutenberg Bible is hailed for its historical significance as well as its breathtaking artistic beauty
Associate Professor of Sacred Scripture Fr
of the UST Doherty Library family lead fundraising for the project
72 scholars translated the Hebrew text into Greek in 72 days
our plan is for seventy-two “wise” donors to fund the acquisition and be named the “New Septuagint 72.” These friends of the library will be listed in a special location on the display
which will be revealed at a dedication and installation on November 9.”
More than half of the funds for UST’s Gutenberg have been raised. Anyone who wishes to donate to this project may inquire with Meredith McCrary

The heart of the stunning Cistercian Abbey in Pelplin
which is the second-largest brick church in Poland
NEWCASTLE West is stepping up to the plate and getting ready to do its bit for European integration
Plans are now being made to send a delegation from the county town to Pelplin
in the Pomeranian region of Poland in September
And the long-term hope is that it will lead to a formal twinning between the two towns
The trip is being master-minded by Newcastle West Community Council but the real spark for the project has come from Pelplin-born Monika Krajnik Swieczkoska
Monika made Newcastle West her home over 12 years ago and is a member of the community council
everything is different and we would like to show these different things,” Monika says
She is particularly keen to foster school exchanges as so many children with Polish backgrounds are now attending Newcastle West schools
But Monika also believes the links between the two towns could be advantageous for business people in both countries
“Some Irish people would like to do business in Poland and some Polish people would like to do business in Ireland but without contact
The visit to Pelplin is being helped along by the fact that Monika’s dad
Jan Krajnik is chairman of the Pelplin council
chairman of Newcastle West Community Council
is hoping that their forthcoming visit will help copperfasten the link with Pelplin
“A group went to Pelplin a few years ago and a group came here but then it died off,” he explained
Monika asked them to resurrect the idea again
they are hoping to head off on the first week in September
Mr Brennan expects that four or five people from the community council will travel but he also hopes to get some people from the business community to make the trip
Newcastle West is home to several hundred people of Polish background
“Monika is the only one involved with us but we are hoping a visit there would maybe get more Polish people involved
The whole idea is integration as well as making new friends,” he said
its most striking feature is the Cistercian abbey dating from the middle ages and its cathedral
the second largest brick built church in Poland
