Poland marked its return to wind energy on November 7 with the announcement of ambitious plans to develop 8 GW of offshore wind by 2035, WindEurope said, reminding that Poland opened a 1 GW onshore wind auction on November 5.

Polish State Secretary for Energy Grzegorz Tobiszowski on November 7 announced plans to develop 8 GW of offshore wind by 2035. Poland will soon pass a law to this effect, spelling out the annual volumes up to this date.

The news came as Poland opened a 1 GW onshore wind energy auction on November 5. A non-exhaustive survey of bidders who took part in the onshore wind auction suggests the prices will be between €43-63/MWh. The average price is expected to be €51/MWh, which is lower than recent auctions in France (€65/MWh) and Germany (€62.6/MWh).
