The Potential of Wind Energy Development in Poland in the Context of Legal and Economic Changes

Abstract

The main topic of the work is the analysis of the development of wind farms in Poland. In addition, the aim of the publication is to assess the current development of wind energy compared to other renewable energy sources in Poland. As well as, the comparison of the dynamics of development of this renewable energy source in Poland in relation to other European Union countries. The development of wind energy in Poland has been limited in recent years due to the legal regulations introduced in 2016. However, the current situation on the market of conventional energy resources and growing ecological standards may force dynamic changes in the legal solutions related to the possibility of building new wind farms.
