Coal-Heavy Poland moves to Renewables

Oops, an error occurred! Code: 20240426172645b106fada Poland’s upper house of parliament approved in July an amendment to the renewable sources of energy law, meant to remove obstacles to green energy investment and help Warsaw meet EU renewable energy targets. In 2016, the government banned construction of new wind farms close to dwellings and imposed new taxes on investors that made many wind farms loss-making. In March 2018 the government proposed the amendment to remove the tax disincentives and kick off auctions under a new subsidy system in which renewable producers would be assured a stable price for their energy in any given period.
