DWF lawyers provided comprehensive legal support to both SPV companies, covering the design and execution of tender procedures, drafting of key project contracts (including EPC, LTSA, and Early Works Agreements), and negotiations with bidders and alignment with capacity market obligations.
These combined investments, representing multi-billion PLN commitments, will deliver more than 1 GW of new, flexible capacity to the Polish power system.
Both projects are designed to provide high efficiency, availability, and fast-start capability, thereby supporting the integration of renewable energy sources and strengthening overall system reliability..
