Duda signs renewable power bill into law

President Andrzej Duda signed into law a controversial bill on renewable energy which rejigs substitution fees for power sales not covered by certificates of origin. The bill, submitted to the lower house in July, would tie the fees to average prior year commodity market prices for certificates of origin. It also allows for state-owned utilities to cancel long-term deals for delivery of renewables, which according to critics will curb its development in Poland.
