At the end of June, total capacity of installed wind power in Poland amounted to 1005,6 MW, and it took more than five years to achieve this level.
Energy Regulatory Office announced that at the end of June this year total capacity of installed wind power in Poland amounted to 1005.6 MW. Achieving this level of wind power took more than five years, as according to the data of the regulator still at the end of 2005 the installed capacity of wind farms was barely 83.28 MW.
However, the dynamics of connection of new wind farms has been growing over time. At the end of 2006 the installed capacity of wind farms was 152.56 MW, in 2007 it was 287.91 MW, but in 2008 – already 451 MW and at the end of 2009 – approximately 724.6 MW. It means that during the first half of the current year the capacity of wind power was increased by approx. 281 MW, which is almost as many as was installed in total to the end of 2007.
At the end of June this year the installed capacity of wind farms, that is 1005.6 MW, accounted for approx. 44% of total capacity of polish installations using renewable energy sources, which amounts to 2281,79 MW, not including co-combustion installations.
