Wind power bill should be presented in 2 months

The new wind energy law in Poland, known as the "wind turbine law," is expected to be ready in about two months, with the Ministry of Climate and Environment aiming to finalize solutions by the end of the first quarter, according to Minister Paulina Hennig-Kloska. The law is being developed to address the location and construction rules for wind farms. Hennig-Kloska emphasized that there was never an intention to eliminate the 500-meter minimum distance for large wind turbines, assuring that this limit will be maintained in the new legislation. The proposed changes initially appeared in a broader energy bill but were later separated for further consideration.

The amendments included reducing the distance between wind turbines and natural reserves or national parks to a minimum of 300 meters. The distance from residential buildings would be determined based on noise levels emitted by the turbines, with varying protection zones.
