PGE plans to build by 2020 wind farms with a total capacity of 421 MW – Interia

Vice President of PGE Ryszard Wasiłek / Press release

– Our plans for wind power assume that 2020 will be made 421 MW, and after 2020 is about to build offshore farms with a capacity of 1000 MW – said Wasiłek.

in turn, present at the committee meeting energy and treasury representatives of the boards of Tauron and Energa announced that they have plans to expand wind power. President of Enea Mirosław Kowalik makes the investment plans of the company in the area of ​​the shape of regulations, including the provisions in the Law on renewable energy sources.

Kowalik said that so far Enea was based on the purchase ready-made wind projects. Enea analyzes the projects left behind by the previous management, including located at an advanced stage of a project to buy 36 MW. (PAP)

Resort energy does not want to preferences for wind energy. The Sejm is working on the so-called Act “windmills”, which can reduce the formation of new installations.

Deputy Minister of Energy, Andrzej Piotrowski said today in parliament that prepared the adjustment does not threaten the operations of existing wind farms. The minister recalled that the regulation in its current form assumes control of already existing installations. Those that are agile, will be allowed to use. A representative of the ministry adds, however, that the law would be a big barrier for the development of new wind power.

In four years 15 percent of energy consumption must come from renewable sources. Nearly one-fifth of wind power in Poland is among the four largest energy groups.

The Ministry of Energy has given today in the Parliament of the prospects for the activities of energy companies with a focus on wind energy. (IAR)

Home Social against changes proposed ws. Windmills

Deprivation autonomy of municipalities in policy planning, or the construction of a state monopoly at the expense of private investors – a threat which – according to representatives of municipalities and energy – brings with it a bill ws. minimum distance of turbines from the buildings.

on Wednesday, held in Warsaw a press conference about the dangers of the law for local governments and energy; that day parliamentary committee infrastructure considered the report of the Subcommittee extraordinary parliamentary bill on investments in wind power.

According to prepared by the members of Law and Justice Project, wind farms will not be able to form a smaller distance from residential buildings, than the ten times their height with the rotor and blades. In practice this means 1.5-2 km.

Edward Trojanowski of the Union of Rural Communes of the Republic of Poland stressed during the conference that currently approx. 1/3 of the municipalities in Poland invests in the development of renewable energy in their area, including wind energy. It also pointed out that renewable energy often arises in the former, the poor, the PGR and grand local government, for which, among others, wind turbines are an important part of the budget of the local government.

– Deferred prosumencka is the law, is a fundamental change in the law on windmills. We want that local communities decide about its development in its area – said Trojanowski.

He estimated that the effect of possible distance windmills from the buildings, which is ten times the distance to the height of the windmill, will limit residential areas of municipalities . – If there are already wind farms is approx. 2 km, you can not build new buildings, where you can now do it within a few hundred meters. On the approx. 4 km, there will be development of construction, which will limit the development potential of municipalities. Deprive it of land owners implement their plans – he pointed out.

Thomas Koprowiak from the Association of Municipalities friendly Renewable Energy added that wind energy is currently the cheapest renewable energy, and the combination of wind and exploit the potential of biogas plants in the municipalities makes them independent energy. “This builds a safe country,” – he stressed.

Vice President of the Polish Economic Chamber of Renewable Energy and Distributed Thomas Podganiak pointed out that the justification for the project estimated that tax revenues for municipalities after the introduction of the new rules will increase.

– This is obviously not true, because the result will be quite the opposite. If you do not know what it is about money. Wind energy produced in the last year, 11 TWh of electricity. In relation to final consumption is 11 per cent, or 11 per cent. “Cake” was taken by the energy sector. Some of these installations are owned by large companies, but it is less than 1/3. Most of these investors is a non-public investors who reinvest the money, which is spreading uncontrolled power by large energy corporations. Ito is the main reason for this attack – rated Podganiak.

He added that in Sweden, where 50 per cent. electricity is produced from renewable sources, wholesale electricity prices on the market is 80 zł per MWh, Germany (approx. 30 percent. RES) – is 140 zł, Poland – 160 zł, and in Lithuania about 200 zł per MWh. – Resigning from cheaper renewable energy and putting coal, whose production is more expensive we bring to the fact that the economy will collapse under the influence of energy prices, – stressed the expert.

The participants also pointed out that such an important bill should be consulted socially and should not be so quickly Proceeded.

In this aspect noted lawyer and a representative of the Climate Coalition Wojciech Kukuła, who pointed that the parliamentary draft is very fast Proceeded, and by the fact that it was not prepared by the government, was not consulted, it does not identify the impact, or the impact of proposed changes on the economy.

– the rules are also discriminate against other entities, eg. conventional energy. Here are entered general principles concerning. Locate investment (wind), and in the case of nuclear power Specustawa expected to facilitate investment and no restrictions. Such restrictions of location is not also the case for conventional energy – added the lawyer. (PAP)

COMMENTARY Interia

Enter PGE in wind power is surprising. Not because it is the energy giant and should look for their opportunities in various sources. Therefore, the government of PiS is clearly focusing on the rescue of mining, especially coal. Wind energy development and acquisition of the current path can reduce the demand for coal will be ecologically justified and good for the general public. But bad for the mining industry … Somewhere in these courses intersect.
