GENERAL INFO
• Poland - country in Central Europe• 312.680 km2 area; 38,7 mln people• Forests - 28,1 % Poland, i.e. 8.8 mln ha. • Agricultural lands – ca. 60% of the Poland. • 38% of the population live in the rural areas. • Agriculture and forestry give 4.8% of GDP but 27% of the
employed in Poland work in agriculture (0.4% in forestry). • Rural areas have a very high unemployment rate 18%, reaching
even 50% in some places.
3EC BREC
ENERGY SECTOR & RES
• The energy sector is dominated by the hard coal• Electricity is produced in 98% from fossile fuels• 68% of heat demand in urban areas is met by district
heating networks. • The share of the other energy sources inc.
renewables is growing slowly, in 2001 it was ca. 2,9% of total primary energy consumption (in that 98 % biomass)
• Total primary energy consumption is slowly decreasing (in 2000 it was 3812,4 PJ).

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
1. „National Development Plan”
2. „Kyoto Protocol” Kyoto Protocol ratified in 2002: 6% emission
reduction within 2008-2012 comparing to 1988, c.75 mln tonnes of CO2 surplus to be traded
annually
3. „Second Environmental Policy”
4. „ Polish Development Strategy Of Renewable Energy Sector”
6EC BREC
(1) POLISH DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR
Poland has adopted already the national renewable energy strategy
(by the Polish Parliament in 2001)and is harmonising its environmental
and energy policy with those of EU
7EC BREC
Strategic targets: 7,5% in 2010 14% in 2020increase of the total energy production from RES by 235 PJ (up to 340 PJ)
Expected increase of capacity production in renewable energy sector by 2010
7,5%
4570 PJ – Expected total energy demand
in 2010 according to the scenario
“Polish Energy
235 PJ – Requested increase of
capacity production in RES sector by
2010
105 PJ – Production of energy from RES in 1999

ENERGY POLICY
„Assumptions of the Poland’s Energy Policy to 2020” , 2000
„Energy Act”, 1997 (amendments 2000, 2002)
„Thermodernisation Act” „Quota obligation ordinance”
9EC BREC
ENERGY POLICY-ORDINANCES
„ Quota obligation ordinance”, 2000
Electricity suppliers are obliged to buy from national producers offered amount of electricity and heat from renewable energy sources (2.4% in 2001, 7.5% in 2010)
Problems:
- lack of tariffs
- lack of fines for not fulfiling the obligation
10EC BREC
ENERGY POLICY- A NEW ORDINANCE
„Quota obligation ordinance”, 2003
The obligation of buying RES energy moved to the Energy Act

AGRICULTURAL POLICY
• A draft „Act on Biofules Market”• „Act on agricultural tax”
– 25% reduction of agricultural tax in case of RES investment (valid during 15 years after construction of installation)
12EC BREC
FINANCIAL POLICY
„Financial Support for the Investments Act”, 2002
„The Ordinance of the Council of Ministers of the Public Aid for Environmenal Protection”, 2002
„Excise Ordinance”, 2002
13EC BREC
FINANCIAL POLICY (2)• For investment:
Green funds (subsidies & loans) Structural funds (after EU accesion) Central budget- Act on Financial Support to Investors Central budget, local governments’s budget- National
Development Plan
• For production of RES electricity:
Exemption of excise tax on electricity 0.02 PLN/kWh (0.056 Euro) c. 10% of electricity price (Excise Ordinance)
• To support production:
Exemption of excise tax on fuels – around 45% of the fuel price for bioethanol (Excise Ordinance-each year)

POLICY PRIORITIES & RES
Legal regulations in RES sector- introduction of RES Act
RES Acts should regulate: Polish law transposition according to the Directive
2001/77/EC:
- RES definition, - creation of market mechanisms supporting the RES e.g. Green certificate market, - system of Green energy labelling
Statistics on RES Data collection on the existing RES installations Creation of dedicated RES fund
Educational and promotional actions and international co-operation
