„The so-called Proximity act, which is still in force, may cause an investment gap in wind energy to emerge as quickly as next year. This void could be filled by large-scale PV investments, which need a guarantee in the form of large auction volumes until 2026,” Grzegorz Wiśniewski, Director of the Institute for Renewable Energy, […]

Members of the Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) are pursuing their plans to make offshore wind farms one of the pillars of the transition to low-emission energy system. The PKEE believes that the EU should promote wide deployment of offshore wind energy to meet ambitious climate targets and to further boost Europe’s industrial leadership in this […]

Today the majority of the Baltic states believe offshore wind is one of the pillars of energy transition. Regional cooperation with other countries on the Baltic coast, including Poland, may accelerate energy transition. This is also an opportunity for Polish industry – writes Patrycja Rapacka, editor at BiznesAlert.pl.

The second edition of CEEP report in 2020 focuses on the Energy System Integration and the role of hydrogen. These topics have recently gained a lot of attention in the debates in Brussels and the capitals how to frame the future energy systems with a perspective to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. In this CEEP […]

– Poland is in favour of the European Commission’s goal that Europe should become the first climate neutral continent. At the same time, we are of the opinion that the goal of climate neutrality by 2050 should refer to the EU as a whole, and in relation to Poland it should take into account its […]

Since the beginning of the year a conflict over an onshore wind farm in the village of Wyczechowo in the Kashubia region has been brewing. The so-called proximity act and challenges posed by the need to reconcile the interests of the local community, local government and the investor are a backdrop to this dispute. Patrycja […]

Opponents of onshore wind energy in Norway failed to stop it. Tadeusz Rawa, contributor at BiznesAlert.pl describes the hurdles offshore energy is facing in that country.

According to estimates, about 14,000 turbine blades in Europe will be decommissioned by 2023. Neglecting the utilization of the used parts may be very costly and not much time is left. The plan to reconstruct the EU economy could include investments in recycling renewable energy sources, including wind turbine blades – Patrycja Rapacka, editor at […]

At the end of May Denmark’s Energy Ministry announced it would build an artificial island around the isle of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. Offshore wind farms able to produce 10 GW will be built in the location as well. A cluster around the island connected to a power supply line and offshore wind farms […]

Poland’s Renewable Energy Act has not been fully updated to comply with the EU Directive on Renewable Energy, and especially to its second version from December 2018. The deadline for its implementation is June 2021. In theory we do have some time, but that’s just theory. The works on implementation should be ending and not […]
