The passage of legislation regulating offshore wind in Poland before autumn “will be difficult, but is far from impossible,” Maciej Kapalski, the representative of the country’s energy ministry at the Pomeranian Offshore Wind Conference in Szeczecin last week, told delegates.

Kapalski was reacting to comments by Poland’s deputy energy minister Grzegorz Tobiszowski at the European Economic Congress in Katowice, also last week, who said he will recommend the adoption of an offshore wind act by parliament still this term, before national elections that have to take place in November at the latest.
