The increasing share of wind energy in the generation mix increases the country’s energy security and has a positive impact on social and economic development at local and central level. A substantive debate on Poland’s energy vision is crucial for independence, competitiveness or climate protection. These will be the key topics of the Polish Wind Energy Association’s conference in Swinoujscie on 4-6 June. For 19 years, this European-scale event has been the place to find solutions to the most pressing challenges facing the wind industry. The OffshoreWindPoland.pl portal is the media patron of the event.
Key conclusions and solutions are forged among respected authorities in the renewable energy sector – politicians, experts, major investors, entrepreneurs or scientists. Among the more than 100 speakers at this year’s conference will be Waldemar Sługocki – Secretary of State in the Ministry of Development and Technology, Miłosz Motyka – Deputy Minister of Climate and Environment, Grzegorz Onichimowski – President of the PSE, Piotr Listwoń – Vice-President of TGE, Marek Szymankiewicz – President of ENEA Operator, Olgierd Geblewicz – Marshal of the Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship, Giles Dickson – President of WindEurope, or Professor Szymon Malinowski, PhD, Chairman of the Advisory Council on the Climate Crisis of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
The event will be attended by event ambassadors: Jagna Kubańska-Łyczakowska, Head of Public Affairs Poland & Baltics at Vestas, Sebastian Jabłoński, President of Respect Energy, and Michał Kołodziejczyk, President of Equinor Polska, as well as all RES companies focused on wind energy in Poland.
The PWEA conference is a platform that promotes cooperation, knowledge and experience so that wind energy can drive the green transition even faster, cheaper and in a more sustainable way. This year brought a record 10 GW of wind power capacity, but Poland’s potential is much greater! The wind industry, local authorities and industry are looking forward to the new regulations and the change of the minimum distance to 500m.
Meanwhile, the PLN 40 billion Polish offshore project is the biggest investment in post-war Poland. It will add up to PLN 178 billion to the Polish economy and create more than 100,000 jobs. Poland’s onshore and offshore has a great opportunity to become a competitive wind market in Europe, but measures are needed to create space for further investment. Facilitating the development of renewable energy has become a priority for the EC, but barriers remain in Poland, including networks that need to be effectively modernised and extended.
The Polish supply chain has a chance to become competitive in the global wind energy sector – but this will not happen without strong and stable international cooperation. Polish companies, foreign investors and representatives from the EU and the Baltic States will meet for the third time on 6 June at the International Suppliers Day during the PWEA2024 conference in Świnoujście to discuss an alliance for a strong European wind industry. There will be no shortage of substantive discussions and workshops on the future of offshore wind, grid development, local content, port infrastructure, wind services and occupational safety. Polish companies will have an excellent opportunity to establish business contacts with industry players from the largest foreign offshore markets. This is a unique opportunity for new business relationships and a chance to enter western markets.
Already on 4 June, the entire wind industry is meeting at the PWEA Conference! The event will bring together more than 2,000 participants from dozens of countries. It is three days full of substantive speeches, workshops, networking meetings, banquets and attractive side events! The last days of registration are now open! Join now and feel the good energy during the biggest wind industry celebration!
