Investing.com -- Polish President Karol Nawrocki will not sign legislation aimed at easing regulations for building onshore wind farms, his spokesperson Rafal Leskiewicz told the Polish Press Agency on Monday.
The bill, considered crucial by the government for increasing renewable energy production and reducing electricity costs, would have reduced the required distance between wind installations and residential areas while maintaining stricter rules near protected natural zones. It also included provisions to freeze household energy prices through the end of the year.
Leskiewicz indicated that Nawrocki plans to present his own proposal specifically addressing the freezing of power prices.
The presidential veto represents another clash between Nawrocki, who is supported by the conservative, eurosceptic Law and Justice party (PiS), and Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s centrist government.
Poland’s renewable energy sector has been expanding at coal’s expense, though coal-fired power still dominates the country’s energy mix, contributing to higher electricity prices due to carbon emission costs. In 2024, renewable sources generated nearly 30% of Poland’s electricity.
The previous PiS administration had blocked onshore wind development during most of its eight-year tenure.
