Abstract

The article describes and analyzes developments in the wind energy sector in Poland in 2012–2013 in a broader perspective of the main features of the energy sector in Poland. It encompasses the building of new wind farms, changes of ownership in the sector, prospects for offshore wind farms and support scheme developments. The article points out the current biggest barriers to further development of the wind energy sector and its future trends.
