| Plans and Prospects | |
| Offshore areas | No dedicated areas. Most projects concentrated on the centern part of the coast. 2 wind farms with >100 MW planned east of the Gulf of Gdansk. |
| Planned offshore windpower | 1.5 GW (filed applications & other possibilities) |
| timing | No time schedule defined. Potentially 150 MW by 20 |
| Transmission System | |
| TSOs | PSE-Operator S.A. |
| Control zones and operators | PSE-Operator (entire country) |
| Synchronous Zone | UCTE |
| Final electricity consumption (2002) [TWh] | 137,0 |
| Generation capacity (2002) [GW] | 34,9 |
| Peak load (2002) | 23,86 |
| Minimum load (2002) | 14,66 |
| Power Generation Portfolio [GW] | |
| Nuclear | 0,00 |
| Thermal (non-nuclear) | 32,69 |
| Hydro | 2,18 |
| Wind | 0,06 |
| others | 0,02 |
| Offshore Power Injection | |
| Suited Substations | 400 kV: ZRC, SLK, DUN; 220 kV: DUN, PLC, REC |
| Substation Voltage today | 450 kV, 220 kV, 110 kV |
| Offshore power limit | TSO prepared study on possibilities of interconnection of wind parks to national grid. No specific treatment of offshore wind energy. |
| Grid issues | |
| Grid code requirements | |
| Balancing | Responsibility of PSE-Operator. No direct participation of wind power producers in the balancing market. Short-term predictions obligatory for wind farms > 50 MW with penalties for deviations. New draft of Energy Law ammendement envisages separate treatment of wind energy. |
| Transmission bottlenecks | N.A. |
| Necessary reinforcements | N.A. |
| Timing of reinforcements | N.A. |
| External Factors | |
| Import/export/transit | |
| other factors | |
| Trans Border Capacities | |
| Offshore Cable | |
| Connection, first projects | N.A. |
| Landing, first projects | N.A. |
| Best option, long term | N.A. |
| Connection and energy pricing | |
| Connection charges for DG | negotiated |
| Connection charges for offshore wind | No differences between DG and offshore wind envisaged |
| Priority access for renewables | Theoretically - yes |
| Minimum price | No minimum price. Envisaged by the New Energy Law (not yet in force). |
