Poland will approve the Renewable Energy Law next year solar power installed capacity by 100 times

Polandwill be approved by the renewable energy law, which prompted the increase of 100 times the amount of solar power installed next year.

The Polish the photovoltaic Association President said Stanislaw Pietruszko, renewable energy law to be in January next year, according to the plan came into effect,grid tie inverter then the amount of solar power installed capacity has been 3MW of Poland perhaps in the next year to be able to build a 400MW. Neighboring German solar power installed capacity has reached 30GW.

In austerity Western European countries to cut subsidies for clean energy projects, and Eastern European countries are trying to attract investors to exit from Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. 85% of Poland's electricity comes from thermal power plants, with the economic growth of the country, will join the Ukraine to become one of the few countries in Europe to provide the highest solar subsidies.

Pietruszko interview, said: "The proposed subsidy is very good, higher than in Germany."

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk government is trying to double the proportion of clean energy in the energy mix in 2020, the Green Certificate project plan by January next year to increase the support for large-scale solar power plants. In addition, the country will also provide feed-in tariff for small renewable energy projects.

Government planning

The project of the Polish government planned installed capacity of less than 100KW 1.3 zlotys per kWh electricity price subsidies until 2027. Larger power plant project will be eligible for green certificates per MWh 2.85, for a period of 15 years. Last month, each of tradable green certificates (public institutions must be purchased) per MWh average price of 248.6 zloty.

Pietruszko said: "If we can take effect from January next year, the feed-in tariff system will lead to the application of 300-400MW project to be completed by the end of next year."

Although the amount of solar radiation is similar to Europe's largest solar market Germany, but so far, the wind power installed capacity of about 2300MW Poland also no one in the operating utility-scale photovoltaic power generation projects.

Upon the entry into force of new regulations, Gehrlicher Solar AG and Conergy AG, Germany developers are ready to test the waters Polish market. According Pietruszko said, Chinese companies are eager.

Conergy spokeswoman Antje Stephan said in a message: "Once the feed-in tariff systems and green certificate system is approved, the Polish market is certainly a very interesting market, we have to build their own local networks."

Stable economic

Gehrlicher Solar project development director, said Stefanie Biala each other neighboring countries, with Germany and the stability of the political and economic situation, coupled with higher electricity prices, the the Polish solar inverter market will "very interesting".

Energy bill is quasi Some investors can not wait for that day. Polish metal tools manufacturer Unam will in Ziwotufu construction of an installed capacity of 70MW solar power plant. A spokesman for the company said Anna Jarka next month to conduct preliminary work for local developers Smart Eco-Wind.

Polish Ministry of Economic Affairs, said it plans to approve the Renewable Energy Act and the Energy and Gas Act in January next year. A spokesman for the Polish Ministry of Economic Affairs said Iwona Dzygala, the draft has been sent to the Government Committee, need to be submitted to Parliament before the approval of the entire cabinet. "Our primary task is the draft come into force next year."
 May occur postponed

Pietruszko triplicate motion packaged submit may cause the bill to the effective date postponed to mid-2013.

The feed-in tariff system has led to the rapid development of renewable energy projects in Germany, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic and Spain. Poland is to follow the example of the United Kingdom, the introduction of green certificates and feed-in tariff-track system. Romania is one of the few European countries only use green certificates.

Bloomberg New Energy Finance analyst Martin Simonek said: "A lot of people are expected the regulations implementation date may be the latest to be postponed until January 2014., However, the Polish solar market is already beginning to show the busy scene, developers began to hoard So, once the bill was To be accurate, if the terms and conditions are still favorable, solar power installed capacity will surge. "

Some provisions in the Bill will help to establish a stable solar market. This includes similar and German renewable energy surcharge (which requires consumers to pay a higher tariff), as well as solar feed-in tariff reduction of 5.5% per year.

Ignition start

"Simonek said:" The proposal will certainly 'detonate' a new solar market, because of the slow approval process leading to large-scale projects can not be timely start. "

The latest draft of the largest solar power inverter station to make a 10MW limit, but there is no limit on the total installed capacity. Photovoltaic Association said the Polish Ministry of Economic Affairs is expected the first year after the implementation of the Bill of installed capacity is 50MW, 600MW 2020.
