All Poles will pay for the energy transition. One of the propositions on the table is a new tax. We will pay less if we use the subsidies for the transition to a green economy, but there is a catch – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor in chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

It’s all hands on deck at the state treasury to develop an offshore wind farm program. Poland wants to unlock its own potential to increase leverage during talks with foreign partners without whom it won’t be able to pursue its plans. Those negotiations will determine the shape of the country’s energy sector after the reform, […]

„We are critical of investments in gas. They freeze money that we really need to phase out fossil fuels. The European Union sees this as well and has announced it would stop subsidizing fossil fuels as of 2025. Why then invest in declining technologies and 'freeze’ our human and financial resources?,” Urszula Zielińska MP from […]

„Diversification first, liberalization second,” is an old principle from the gas sector, which is now finding its way into the power sector, due to the big game surrounding the Baltic rail, which will connect offshore wind farms in the Baltic, but for now, without Poland’s involvement. Warsaw’s objections and plans to integrate the offshore farms […]

The key to wealth and prosperity is reliable and affordable energy. Which is why the ‘unreliables’, wind and solar threaten both wealth and prosperity (except, of course, those wallowing in the obscene and seemingly endless subsidies paid to the owners of windmills and solar panels) – writes Prof. Mirosław Lewiński.

After an almost 2-month long wait, the Council of Ministers did not adopt the Promotion of the Electricity Generation in the Offshore Wind Farms Act (the Draft Act), yet again. At the beginning of December the Draft Act will be submitted to the lower chamber of the Parliament (the Sejm). BiznesAlert.pl asked lawyers what they […]

KGHM Polska Miedź may provide raw materials and buy ready PV panels. At the beginning of September the Ministry of Climate started to integrate the sector, but KGHM is missing from the letter signatories. The company could support the development of the domestic supply chain – writes Bartłomiej Sawicki, editor at BiznesAlert.pl.

We are pleased with the pace of work on the act on supporting offshore wind energy. In order to move to the next stage of development of our offshore development projects, the act should be adopted by the end of this year at the latest. Our projects are at different stages of development and are […]

„The competencies of the selected partner need to fit into our long-term development plans for offshore wind energy. The talks are still taking place. We are hoping we will choose the industry partner before the end of this year,” Jarosław Dybowski, Executive Director for Energy at PKN Orlen, said in an interview with BiznesAlert.pl.
