Abstract

The current state and prospects for the development of the renewable energy sector in the Łódzkie Voivodeship have been presented. In this area there are 195 wind power installations of total power of 404MW, 40 hydropower stations of total power of 6.6MW. In the locality of Leśmierz second generation biofuels are produced. Moreover, there are five biogas power plants located at municipal waste sites, three biogas power plants at sewage treatment works and two agricultural biogas power plants. The PEST analysis of the polish renewable energy sector has been described. The conducted PEST analysis indicates that the renewable energy sector stands a chance of further growth both in the Łódzkie Voivodeship and in Poland. The most favourable are the economic macro-environmental factors whilst the technological ones are the least favourable.
