| Polish Wind Projects Listed, Total Over 1GW | Energy Regulatory Office announced that at the end of June this year total capacity of installed wind power in Poland amounted to 1005.6 MW. Achieving this level of wind power took more than five years, as according to the data of the regulator still at the end of 2005 the installed capacity of wind farms was barely 83.28 MW. | |
| Poland Approves E-10 and B-7 Biofuel Blends | The government on June 22 approved the introduction of E-10 and B-7 blends on the Polish market for transportation fuels. So far, a maximum of 5% of biofuel was allowed in the general fuel pool. | |
| Dalkia Building Two Biomass Boilers for Poland | This is Dalkia's biggest biomass project to date. Starting at the end of 2011, 700,000 metric tons of biomass, 80% of it from forests, will be used in place of coal. The €70 million investment is expected to generate for Dalkia an additional €36.4 million in annual revenues. As from 2012, the project will exceed Poland's Energy Policy goal of 15% renewable energy, and will avoid 460,000 metric tons of annual CO2 emissions. | |
| Report: CEE next Big Market for Renewable Energy | “As CEE countries take on the challenge of developing their indigenous energy sources, companies are currently experiencing first-mover advantages that could place them ahead of the curve,” Frost & Sullivan says. | |
| AES Wind Generation Enters Polish Market | AES Wind Generation, a wholly owned subsidiary of AES Corporation, has signed an agreement to acquire a 51 percent stake in a wind portfolio from 3E, a Polish wind developer. | |
| Large Biomass Power Plant in Poland Uses Advanced Bio CFB | “This boiler demonstrates the capability of Foster Wheeler’s state-of-the-art ‘Advanced Bio CFB’ concept that allows the co-firing of high alkaline agro biomasses with wood-based biomass in utility-size power production,” said Tomas Harju-Jeanty, president and chief executive officer of Foster Wheeler Energia Oy. | |
| Frost & Sullivan: Wind Energy in Poland Increasing | Analysts from Frost & Sullivan indicate that the most significant rise of installed power from among other types of renewable energy sources in Poland can be observed in the wind energy sector. The power of wind parks in Poland rose within last year by 40%, from 544MW in 2008 to 725MW in 2009. The expected increase in 2010 should equal 195MW. | |
| European Wind Energy Conference - Warsaw | Megajoule developed and tested a methodology for mapping wind resources in any location on the globe, using the WRF (weather research and forecasting) model. Amongst its projects, Megajoule made the first wind resource map for East Timor in cooperation with Martifer Renewables in 2008, as well as many studies of micrositing wind parks in Central and Eastern Europe using Mesoscale Modelling data. Guilherme Chagas, head of the Mesoscale unit, believes that “the high-quality Mesoscale results produced at Megajoule|Inovação can significantly reduce the time to market of wind development projects. By complementing measurement campaigns with our accurate Mesoscale data, we can also help to reduce the uncertainty associated with short-term measurement campaigns and have a much better picture of the wind behaviour over the lifetime of a wind farm.” The next possibility to meet and talk with the managing directors of MEGAJOULE and Megajoule|Inovação will be the EWEC 2010 that will take place this April in Warsaw. http://www.ewec2010.info/ | |
| British Designed, Polish Manufactured Boiler an Example of Cooperation | Martin Oxley, CEO of the British Polish Chamber of Commerce (BPCC), said: “If there are two areas of greatest interest when it comes to the Polish economy these days, they are infrastructure and energy. If Poland is to increase its share of energy generated through renewables to 20% by 2020, from 3% today, it means a vast amount of investment will be required.” In one situation, Torftech has been manufacturing its boilers in Poland for export to markets like Canada, Holland, Denmark and Germany, but the Świdnica plant will be the first such commercial project undertaken by the company in Poland itself. | |
| WIND FARM PROFESSIONALS NEEDED- Poland/South Eastern Europe | The ever increasing global need to generate power from sustainable sources has lead to rapid increase in projects of this nature - particularly in wind energy. As such a number of Polish businesses now want to recruit all types of wind farm professionals for projects across South East Europe. | |
| EBRD/Iberdrola Subsidiaries Team for Eastern Europe Wind Development | The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has announced plans to finance projects in several emerging wind energy markets in eastern Europe.
The EBRD, a London-based international financial institution that supports projects in 29 countries from central Europe to central Asia, said it would acquire 25% stakes in the Hungarian and Polish subsidiaries of the Spanish wind power Iberdrola. The EBRD will invest a maximum of EUR125million for the stakes and will also evaluate the possibility of collaborating with Iberdrola in the Romanian market. | |
| Polish Power Market Prices Affect Renewables | Vattenfall [VATN.UL] and others will not invest in new power generation in Poland until prices rise to make such outlays worthwhile, something that may take a few years, an official at the Swedish utility said on recently.

| Future of Renewable Energy - Market Barometer | The ‘Market Barometer – Future of Renewable Energy’ in Poland congress was held on January 20-21 in Warsaw. The conference provided very optimistic views on the development of renewable energy market in Poland. | |
| Pellet Operation in Poland is Progressing | MHG Systems Ltd and Polish Research Innovation Group Ltd – R.I.G. – plan an enterprise resource management system for pellet production and short rotation forestry (SRF) in Poland. As a first phase the delivery consists of management systems for R.I.G.´s own pellet production based on agro wastes, wood wastes and SRF. MHG Pellet ERP and MHG SRF ERP enable tracing of origin of feedstock, management and monitoring of feedstock quality and quantity, logistics, and development of carbon footprint of pellet supply chain. | |
| STX Group Wins $428M Deal to Supply Wind Turbines | STX Group, a South Korean business conglomerate, said Wednesday that it has clinched a 300 million euro (US$428 million) order to build wind farms in eastern European nations including Poland, Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria. | |
