Polish politicians have changed the country's renewable energy laws to enable a 2.5 GW onshore wind power auction later this year. The amendments include extending interconnection agreement deadlines and strengthening the Guarantees of Origin scheme to encourage corporations to sign power purchase deals. But critics say that while Poland is moving in the right direction, it has not yet done enough to tackle climate change. WindEurope chief policy officer Pierre Tardieu said: “It’s great news that Poland will have a 2.5GW onshore wind auction this year. Poland's total power capacity stands at 40 GW, with a target of 73 GW by 2040.
