Poland’s ministry of energy has prepared a draft bill to support the development of offshore wind energy off the northern European country’s coast.
The ministry said that the draft is the result of “intensive work and consultations with many partners” and is now ready for “further legislative work”.
Minister of energy Krzysztof Tchorzewski said: “I am convinced that the proposed regulations will significantly contribute to the future creation of a systemically formed offshore wind energy sector in Poland.”
The ministry has also requested that the draft is included in the country’s Council of Ministers’ legislative work.
“This is a necessary step for further legislative work, ie, launching the process of public consultations and inter-ministerial arrangements,” it said.
Public consultations and inter-ministerial arrangements are hoped to be launched in the next two to three weeks.
