Foresight signs term sheet for 270MW Polish pipeline

Foresight has signed a non-binding term sheet for control of a business developing up to 270MW across Warsaw and Wrocław, but both projects remain at relatively early development stages.

Foresight signs term sheet for 270MW Polish pipeline
Summary
  • The proposed transaction covers planned 130MW and up-to-140MW projects in Warsaw and Wrocław.
  • Warsaw has secured 3.2 hectares plus an additional land option and has submitted a grid application.
  • The transaction is non-binding, Wrocław land remains under negotiation, and none of the 270MW should yet be treated as committed operating capacity.

Foresight Autonomous Holdings has signed a non-binding term sheet for a controlling interest in a company advancing two Polish data centre developments with combined planned capacity of up to 270MW.

The proposed transaction would give Foresight a 50.01% interest in the development company. That business is expected to hold 66.67% of each project company, with Polish development partners retaining the remaining 33.33% interests.

The larger programme consists of a planned 130MW project in Ożarów near Warsaw and a development of up to 140MW in Wrocław. Both figures describe intended project capacity rather than secured or operational megawatts.

The Warsaw project is the more advanced of the two. Foresight said approximately 3.2 hectares of land has been secured, with an option over a further 2.2 hectares. A grid-connection application has been submitted, and the company currently expects a final permit by the end of 2027.

At Wrocław, a feasibility study has been completed but land remains under negotiation. That leaves the project further from a final investment decision, with site control, grid terms, permitting, design, financing, and customer commitments still relevant before capacity can move into construction.

The transaction itself is also not complete. A non-binding term sheet establishes the intended structure for negotiations but is not equivalent to a completed acquisition. The distinction is important in a market where large capacity pipelines can move substantially between early development, grid reservation, planning, financing, and commissioning.

Poland has been attracting greater data centre development interest as Central and Eastern Europe takes a larger share of the continent’s digital-infrastructure pipeline. Warsaw remains the country’s principal data centre market, while Wrocław offers access to a large regional economy, engineering workforce, and connectivity into western and central European markets.

Power availability will remain the central infrastructure question for projects of this scale. A 130MW or 140MW campus requires more than a nominal grid application: developers need connection terms, network capacity, programme certainty, and often substantial upstream reinforcement before the full load can be energised.

Foresight said its Polish partners have experience in national grid-connection processes, techno-economic analysis, and regulatory work. That expertise may help the projects move through early development, but the disclosed timetable shows how far the proposed capacity remains from operation.

The 270MW headline should therefore be read as a development pipeline attached to a proposed corporate transaction, not as near-term Polish supply. The next material milestones will be binding transaction documents, land progress in Wrocław, and the outcome of the Warsaw grid process.
