"All three wind farms are located in the mountainous Podkarpackie province in south-east Poland, which offers very good wind conditions of 7.5-8m/s.
"…[For] Martifer… the sale of the wind farms in Poland was a result of [its] "asset rotation policy"…[while Ikea said] the transaction [will allow it to] meet half of its stores in Poland electricity demand with renewable energy…The retailer has projects in France, Germany and the UK."
