Changes to the Wind Farm Act to Lead to Additional Revenue for Municipal Budgets

Amendments to the Wind Farm Act, particularly the reduction of the required distance between wind farms and buildings, could double the potential of Poland's wind energy sector by 2040. Tax revenues from such installations could bring each municipality several million zlotys annually. Additionally, residents will benefit from wind turbines in their municipalities, as 10 percent of the total installed capacity will be available to them under the so-called virtual prosumer model.
