WIND OF CHANGE – WHAT CHANGES WILL 2016 BRING FOR THE INDUSTRY?

When: 7 March 2016, 13.00-18.30
Where: EXPO XXI Conference & Exhibition Centre, 12/14 Ignacego Prądzyńskiego St., Warsaw

The discussion on future prospects for wind farms is entering a key stage. The support scheme for renewables is changing, and its entry into force has been postponed until 1 July 2016. Work is in progress on the amendment of the RES Act, and the wind power industry has already learnt about the details of the draft act on investments in wind power plants. Therefore, the current year is certainly one of the most important ones in the entire history of the wind power industry in Poland. This is why we have prepared a full-day event devoted to the changes that RES market players in Poland will have to face. 

During the seminar “WIND OF CHANGE – WHAT CHANGES WILL 2016 BRING FOR THE INDUSTRY?” taking place a day before the official opening of the 11th PWEA Conference and Exhibition, the experts will discuss the following topics:
