The Windmill Affair broke out before they attempted to form a government. Without consultation, without analyses, without preparation, politicians from PO and Polski2050 want to install large turbines next to the houses of Poles – Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on social media. The head of government emphasized that the Poles would lose from this and that lobbyists would benefit from this.
Poland will lose, lobbyists will benefit
The group of MPs Polska 2050-TD and KO has submitted to the Sejm a draft amendment to the Law on Support of Energy Consumers, which proposes, among other things: restoring the stock exchange obligation, as well as liberalizing the rules for the construction of wind farms on land. PiS politicians criticize the project, pointing out that it could lead to the expropriation of people for wind farms.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki referred to the case in a Facebook post on Thursday.
There was supposed to be popcorn and there it is! Only lobbyists eat it! A world record was broken today in Poland! However, this time there is nothing to be happy about, because it is a world record in scandals! The Windmill Affair broke out before they attempted to form a government. Without consultation, without analyses, without preparation, politicians from PO and Polska2050 want to place large turbines next to the houses of Poland. Who will lose? Polish people! Who will benefit from it? Lobbyists!
– wrote Prime Minister Morawiecki.

Justification of the opposition’s project
The justification for the project from the MPs of KO and Poland 2050-TD states that “it is proposed that the location of the construction of a wind farm should depend on the sound energy it radiates.”
In the case of more modern, low-noise devices, they can be located closer to residential buildings. Quieter windmills can be placed closer, while louder windmills must be placed much further from buildings to avoid causing nuisance.
– explained. The justification also states that the project assumes “a minimum distance of 300 m for locating new wind farms from areas subject to acoustic protection, even in the case of wind turbines quieter than 100 dBA due to the size of these constructions.”
The project of KO and Poland 2050-TD MPs also assumes that prices of electricity, gas and heat for households and sensitive entities will be frozen until the end of June 2024. It is assumed that proportional current consumption limits will be maintained and groups under protection will be maintained. As we read in the justification, “the resources intended to finance the support to eligible customers (…) will come from the COVID-19 Fund, which will be financed from the gas contribution to the Price Difference Payment Fund for 2022 and other funds in the manner provided for in the relevant regulations.” According to WysokieNapiecie.pl, “the entire operation will be financed at Orlen’s expense.”
