Gradual Energy Transformation in Poland Poland's state development fund, PFR SA, is stepping up as an anchor investor in green bond sales to drive demand and support the country's transition away from its coal-heavy energy production. PFR aims to allocate the majority of its annual investments—up to 3 billion zloty ($731 million)—to energy projects, including offshore wind farms, power storage systems, and gas-fired plants, according to Deputy CEO Mikolaj Raczynski. I see this as both a significant challenge and opportunity—this transformation is a positive step for a country where almost two-thirds of its domestic energy production came from coal in 2023. Gas continues to play a vital role in Poland’s energy mix during this transition. Despite the global emphasis on renewable energy, Poland’s reliance on gas remains crucial, especially as Europe faces increasing energy demands and challenges related to the reduction of Russian gas supplies. Bloomberg reported that Poland has also declared its readiness to increase energy exports to Ukraine, replacing Slovakia, should it cut off power, as threatened by Slovakia’s Prime Minister at the end of the year.

The introduction of the capacity market mechanism adds a new commodity into the Polish energy market; net available capacity. Or, in other words, buying and selling the readiness to supply energy to the grid. Read on: https://rebrand.ly/rvynqqw #Energytransition #energystorage #Poland #Energymarket

⚡ Poland Energized for the Future 👇   The Polish energy sector is undergoing transformative changes this December.   ⚖ Amendment to the Energy Law (effective 15 December 2024) introduces pro-consumer measures like: ✔️ A comparison tool for electricity suppliers, fostering transparency and informed choices; ✔️ A boost to competition in the energy market.   ⚖ Renewable Energy Act (approved 16 December 2024) shifts focus to: ✔️ A feed-in tariff (FIT) system replacing the quota system for renewable energy producers; ✔️ Financial support for micro-installations (up to 10 kW), empowering solar, wind, and biogas adoption.   ⚡ These changes set a clear path for Poland toward a more sustainable, consumer-friendly energy landscape.   #PolandsBestPenteris #EnergyLaw #RenewableEnergy #Poland #Sustainability #EnergyTransition

Taxation of energy products and electricity - Leeway of Member States Court of Justice C-743/22 of 30 May 2024, DISA, § 51 "Consequently, it follows both from Article 5 and from the analysis of all the provisions of Directive 2003/96 providing for reductions or exemptions from taxation that, even though the field of taxation of energy products and electricity is only partially harmonised and that that directive affords the Member States a degree of flexibility to be able to implement policies appropriate to their national circumstances, the fact remains that that leeway has limits. It follows that, regardless of compliance with the minimum levels of taxation imposed by that directive, the powers available to Member States to introduce differentiated rates of taxation, exemptions from taxation or reductions in excise duty may be implemented only in strict compliance with the conditions laid down by the relevant provisions of Directive 2003/96". https://lnkd.in/e8eQnb-H

🇵🇱Poland is at the stage of consulting the National Energy and Climate Plan (KPEiK), which Poland was obliged to submit to the European Commission by June 30, 2024. Updating the KPEiK is a key element of managing the energy transition in Poland.   🔔Therefore, 25 organizations appealed to the Ministry of Climate and Environment (Ministerstwo Klimatu i Środowiska) , which is responsible for the appearance of a strategic document such as the KPEiK, for the government to clearly adopt the active transformation scenario as the basis for conducting the national climate and energy policy.   In addition, organizations also demand: 🔹Setting clear goals and an action agenda for entities involved in the energy transformation. 🔹Continue public consultations by initiating multi-level dialogue and broad sector discussions to monitor progress on the commitments made.   The signatories declare their readiness to cooperate with the government in developing and implementing a comprehensive and socially acceptable energy and climate policy for Poland for the coming decades.   Full text of the appeal at the link: https://lnkd.in/d2E4nSYc

The Polish wind power market offers quite a few investment opportunities.   This is exactly what we discussed with Henning von Zanthier and Justyna Loretańska of the law firm VON ZANTHIER & DACHOWSKI, Berlin - Poznań during a special seminar on ‘Why Polish Wind Assets should be part of every investor's portfolio’, held on 25 September 2024 as part of the WindEnergy Hamburg international wind energy fair.   #RES #WindEnergy #WindEnergy #renewables #wpdwindmanager

In Ukraine, the connection of biomethane producers to gas distribution systems has been simplified to promote exports The National Commission for Regulation of the Energy Market of Ukraine has simplified the technical requirements for connecting biomethane production facilities to gas distribution systems. A newly approved resolution establishes the procedure for submitting and considering applications for joining to the distribution network, as well as setting requirements for connection points and biomethane accounting. In general, the resolution will contribute to the sustainable development of Ukraine’s energy sector and transparency in the procedure for connecting biomethane plants to existing infrastructure. As noted by the Ministry of Energy, joint work with the regulator is underway to strengthen the Ukrainian biomethane market’s integration with the EU market. This decision will contribute to the state’s energy independence through the development of domestic gas production and diversification of supply sources. This decision’s impact on the agricultural sector, which receives new agricultural waste processing opportunities, is especially important, and it will also contribute to the development of a circular economy. https://lnkd.in/dqEu_xiy
