Renewable energy market in Poland General information On 20th February 2015, the Polish Parliament passed the new Renewable Energy Sources Act which entered into force (partially) on 4th May 2015. However, the Parliament is still working on the final shape of the new aid system. The original idea was to introduce an auction system but only time will tell what form of support will be ultimately chosen by the Polish lawmakers. Photovoltaics The photovoltaic market in Poland is underdeveloped. Under the current support system in the form of green certificates, investments in this area show low profitability. However, investment in photovoltaics can be profitable when you use a vast array of EU funding opportunities. We offer you comprehensive assistance in obtaining those funds. * Source: Urząd Regulacji Energetyki [the Energy Regulatory Office] Installed PV capacity in selected EU Member States in 2015 (in MWp)* 39740 6191 4787 71 Germany France Spain Poland
Wind energy Gdansk The number of wind farms has grown rapidly in the past few years. In this respect, 2015 was record-breaking because an increase of 1300 MW (35 %) was noted in comparison to the previous year. Thanks to the advanced technology and high profitability of the production, wind energy has become a symbol of a breakthrough in the renewable energy sector. However, the utilisation of the wind energy in Poland is still low compared to e.g. Germany. Therefore, the potential for growth in this market remains considerable. * Source: Urząd Regulacji Energetyki [the Energy Regulatory Office] Installed capacity (MW) in the years 2006 2015* 5000 4500 4000 3500 Biogas power plants 3000 Photovoltaic power plants 2500 Wind farms 2000 Water power plants 1500 500 0 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Biogas There were 278 biogas power plants in Poland as of 02/05/2016*. According to the guidelines of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development on the implementation of the cohesion policy, by 2020 about 2,000 new biogas plants are going to be built. This very ambitious goal shows how much place has been left for new investors in the biogas market. * Source: Urząd Regulacji Energetyki [the Energy Regulatory Office]
About us As an integrated professional services firm, Rödl & Partner is active at 106 wholly-owned locations in 49 countries.

The history of Rödl & Partner goes back to its foundation as a solo practice in 1977 in Nuremberg.

Our success has always been based on the success of our German clients: Rödl & Partner is always there where its clients see the potential for their business engagement.

Each and every person counts to the Castellers and to us. Human towers symbolise in a unique way the Rödl & Partner corporate culture. They personify our philosophy of solidarity, balance, courage and team spirit. They stand for the growth that is based on own resources, the growth which has made Rödl & Partner the company we are today. Força, Equilibri, Valor i Seny (strength, equilibrium, valour and common sense) is the Catalan motto of all Castellers, describing their fundamental values very accurately. It is to our liking and also reflects our mentality. Therefore Rödl & Partner embarked on a collaborative journey with the representatives of this long-standing tradition of human towers Castellers de Barcelona in May 2011. The association from Barcelona stands, among many other things, for this intangible cultural heritage. www.roedl.pl
