Development of renewable energyA chance and a challenge for Poland
CWP has over 4 GW under
development as well as a
proven track record of
execution across the
region
CWP is a leading developer of wind projects in Central Europe and Australia & New Zealand. The company has 4 GW of capacity under development across five countries.
CWP was established in 2007. Since then, CWP has developed and sold Europe’s largest wind farm (600 MW)
CWP is extending its activities to fast growing new markets like Turkey and Bulgaria.
CWP employs over 40 people across Europe and the Asia-Pacific region and cooperates with both international companies and its local advisors.
Continental Wind Partners’ investors comprise institutions and high net worth individuals based in the US and Europe.

Poland has good windconditions,
not only in the northern regions
POLAND IS AN ATTRACTIVE MARKET FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY INVESTMENTS
The main incentives for development of renewable energy projects in Poland are:
A good and stable Green Certificate system supporting renewable energy sources Current spot market price close to the substitution fee (currently 248,5 PLN) Total price for „black” energy and green certificates ~85 EUR
Good conditions for development of renewable energy(Wind, Biomass, Biogas)
Growing demand for electricity
CHANCE
Many good projects fail because they
cannot connect to the grid
GRID CONNECTION
Technical barriers Weak grid in the windiest regions Problems with balancing due to dominating of coal fired production
Changing and unclear regulations for obtaining grid connection conditions Thousands MW of virtual projects Blocking grid capacity – a way to block competition Grid Operator flooded with applications Delays in delivery of necessary grid data Highly overstated grid modernization requirements
High costs of grid connection Tendency to surcharge the wind developers with additional costs of
grid upgrades Bureaucracy
Long process of getting grid connection conditions and Long, costly and bureaucratic process of signing a grid connection agreement
CHALLENGE
Development of renewables
requires a stabile and efficient legal system
REGULATIONS
Environmental Regulations Lack of clear standards for environmental procedures. Constantly changing regulations
Zoning Plans Changing or creating the Zoning Plan is a long (usually at least a year), costly
and bureaucratic procedure
Structure of landownership The plots are very small in most of the country and the process off leasing
and acquiring necessary land is very time consuming and difficult The big plots very often belong to the Agricultural Agency and the tender
process required to lease from the Agency is bureaucratic and long
CHALLENGE
Cooperation between
governmental authorities, grid
operator and RES developerss is
needed
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
Grid Modernization of the grid taking into account the future development of
renewable energy Clear rules of issuing Grid Connection Conditions Combining different energy sources which allows for storage and efficient
balancing of energy
Environmental Regulations Creating clear standards for environmental procedures
Zoning Plans and Permitting Process Changing the current regulations More transparent and shorter procedures
CHANCE
The grid is the key to
successful development of RES in Poland
CONCLUSIONS
Poland has big potential for wind energy development
The big challenge is to solve the main problem – GRID
Solving all other problems will not allow the renewable industry to move forward
