Poland is working on laws that could support up to 8GW of offshore wind capacity after 2020.
Polish State Secretary for Energy Grzegorz Tobiszowski said the country has the potential to develop the capacity in the Baltic Sea up to 2035.

The laws will outline the annual volumes available up to 2035, according to industry group WindEurope.
WindEurope chief policy officer Pierre Tardieu said: “The Polish Baltic Sea has enormous wind energy potential and it’s great to see Poland beginning to tap into this and boosting their existing offshore wind supply chain.
“Poland should now include detailed plans on both on- and offshore wind in its National Energy and Climate Plan for 2030. The first draft is due by the end of 2018.”
