Wind farm planning in Poland - 7 strategies to advance projects faster

The energy transition in Poland has long been a reality: offshore targets of 18 GW by 2040, relaxed minimum distance rules (10H) and a rapidly growing demand for green electricity from industry and business are creating enormous opportunities.
But the challenges remain: Permits, grid connection, financing, supply chains.
👉 In this whitepaper you will get 7 proven strategies on how to plan wind projects in Poland faster, safer and based on data.

Why Poland in particular?
Growth Market with Regulatory Tailwind
- Offshore targets: 18 GW by 2040 (PEP2040)
- 10H rule relaxed: minimum distance now 700 m instead of 10 times the turbine height
- Boom in demand due to cPPAs from the industry
High Yield Opportunities
- Onshore: Repowering increases yield by up to 30 %
- Offshore: Constant sea winds, predictable power profiles
Strategic Location
- Network connection to Germany & Scandinavia
- Local production & port infrastructure in expansion
The white paper covers these challenges
Approval Planning in Poland
- Complex coordination between Gmina, Powiat, RDOŚ and GDOŚ
- Public participation & environmental impact assessments (EIA)
- Maritime spatial planning for offshore projects
Grid Connection & Storage Integration
- Overloading of the PSE grid
- Regional differences in northern Poland
- Early route and storage planning required
Financing & Bankability
- CfD auctions & corporate PPAs as new standards
- Earnings forecasts & risk analyses as a basis for investments

FAQ ON WIND FARM PLANNING IN POLAND
What Role Does the Relaxed 10H rule play?
The minimum distance rule was reduced to 700 m in 2023. This will create new areas, particularly in windy regions. This increases the chances of new projects.
What Are the Benefits of a Quick Assessment with 4cast Horizon?
You can see in just a few days whether a location is economically viable - without having to wait for lengthy expert reports. This saves you time and money and secures you space in a competitive market.
Can I also Use the White Paper without a Project in Poland?
Yes - many of the strategies can also be transferred to other markets, e.g. Germany, Spain, Portugal or the Baltic States.
