With €17.3 million from the Innovation Fund, WINDPL will build a large-scale factory in Poland to produce steel towers for the world’s largest offshore wind turbines. The facility will integrate robot-assisted manufacturing, automated welding, and recycling processes to reduce waste and defects, setting a new industry standard. Producing 100 towers per year (14 MW), the project will power 18,000 homes annually, help avoid 2.5 million tonnes of CO₂ in its first ten years of operation and create 450+ direct jobs, strengthening Europe's wind energy supply chain. The Innovation Fund is 100% funded by the EU Emissions Trading System.
