Relevant statistics

In August, the share of renewable energy sources in Poland’s energy mix reached nearly 30%, up from the same period in previous years. Wind power plants played a significant role, covering 10% of energy demand, while hydro recorded a virtually trace impact on the energy mix, accounting for only 1% of power. The Polish Power Grid published statistics showing that

Permission to build part for offshore wind

In scientific research and in the media, it is increasingly rightly argued that the development of onshore and offshore wind energy will positively affect the state of the Polish economy. It is difficult to disagree with this optics, taking into account statistics for both Poland, Europe and the world. All the more so because investments are constantly being built on

BC-Wind offshore wind farm gets closer and closer

Each of the offshore wind farm projects in the Baltic is on the right, albeit long, path to finalization, marked by the start of power delivery to the electricity grid. Recently, the investor in the BC-WIND farm received an extremely important environmental decision, bringing the day closer when construction work itself can begin. What does this mean? Environmental decision for

Offshore wind energy as an opportunity for Polish companies

Each wind farm is a complex installation, being a set of different devices, installed both on land and at sea. For this reason, the construction of such a farm is – most often – associated with the need to involve many entities. This is why offshore wind is such a good business opportunity. Also for Polish companies. Polish companies and

The concept of power grid development

It’s obvious that electricity produced at sea must be delivered to land. This is no different in the case of offshore wind farms being built in Polish Baltic waters, hence each of these projects includes an appropriate concept for delivering the energy generated by the turbines to consumers on land. At this point, however, there is a significant barrier: the

New windmill law: opportunity or blockade?

The new windmill law proposed by the Ministry of Climate and Environment is causing controversy in the wind power industry. The changes, which were supposed to bring a breakthrough, could actually block the development of onshore wind farms. A key problem is the requirement to maintain a distance of 1,500 meters from Natura 2000 areas, which experts say could prevent

Bureaucracy hinders RES development

The more extensive and complicated the administrative procedures, the slower the development of renewable energy. Conversely, where unnecessary paperwork has been reduced, RES flourishes. Bureaucracy simply hinders the growth of renewable energy. Especially in such complex areas as the implementation of onshore and offshore wind power plants. The conclusion is simple: legislators should do their best to make the construction

When will Poland catch up with Australia?

Moving away from fossil fuels is a must. And it is on a global scale, which, of course, is only possible if individual countries implement appropriate policies. The green transition is certainly worth learning from those who have already achieved quite a lot in this area, moving away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy. We can certainly learn a lot
