P
olands energy regulator is
expected to announce details
of a close-to-1GW tender
for large onshore wind and solar
projects next week, to be held before
year-end, a senior Polish government
official tells Recharge.
In an interview at the Global
Wind Summit yesterday, Andrzej
Kazmierski, director for renewable
energy and distributed energy at the
Polish ministry of energy, explained
that wind projects participating in
the auction will be exempt from a
damaging distance rule introduced
in 2016. The rule, which banned
turbines being erected closer than
ten times its tip height to the nearest
settlement, effectively killed off the
countrys previously vibrant onshore
wind expansion.
Including wind in the upcoming
tender was made possible by a recent
amendment to Polands Renewable
Sources Act, which extends the
validity of existing building permits
to mid-2021, and also restores rules
for charging property tax for wind
turbines to lower pre-2017 levels.
High property taxes would otherwise
have made new investments very
difficult.
The Polish wind sector is
nevertheless appealing to the
government in Warsaw, led by the
populist Law and Justice Party, to

make more lasting reforms that
would reverse the damaging rules
enacted in 2016.
Kazmierski hinted at a change
of heart over the governments
previously very staunchly pro-coal
position.
We are not [pro] coal because
we like the smoke. We need to
change the grid, we need to change
the distribution system, we need to
change many things before we will
go for renewables, he said. The
