The solar industry is calling for RES auctions this year
Renewable energy sources, including photovoltaics, can make a significant contribution to rebuilding Poland’s economic potential after the coronavirus pandemic. However, the lack of a renewable energy auction schedule is a serious barrier to the development of this sector and may lose its enormous potential – says the press release of the Polish Photovoltaic Association, which urges the government to provide dates for new renewable auctions.
The association reports that last year the capacity of solar power plants increased by 98 GW, to 586 GW. – Poland, with less than 1.6 GW in solar power plants, is still far behind large EU countries, where solar power counts in tens of gigawatts. However, the increase in new power is gaining momentum – says the communiqué.
