We are submitting a request for these services to the regional prosecutor’s office and the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau to find out who is behind the draft law on energy prices; it is clear that it is not written by MPs, the question is which company will make money from it – said PiS MP and head of MEiN Krzysztof Szczucki on Friday.
“These are rules that violate the foundations of property rights.”
On Friday, during a press conference together with PiS MPs Janusz Kowalski and Joanna Lichocka, he referred to the draft amendment to the law on support for energy consumers, drawn up by politicians from KO and Polski 2050, which proposes, among other things: restoring the stock exchange obligation, as well as liberalize the rules for the construction of onshore wind farms.
According to Szczucki, the project contains “very important, very serious and very risky provisions regarding the location of wind farms.”
These are regulations that allow wind turbines to be built close to residential buildings; these are rules that essentially violate the foundations of property rights, because under certain circumstances these changes will allow the expropriation of people to create investments in wind turbines
– said Szczucki.
“‘The MPs could not prepare this project’
According to the politician, a ‘cursory analysis’ of the bill shows that ‘MPs could not have prepared this bill’.
These are very serious, very detailed and very nuanced rules. We ask a question and ask it to all parliamentarians: who is the author of this bill, who prepared it, which lobbyist, which company that wants to make a lot of money, prepared this bill?
– He asked.
That is why we are submitting a request to the regional prosecutor’s office and the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau to ask these services to investigate who is behind this act. Indeed, the MPs who signed this project (…) admit in bursts of honesty that they do not know this project, which means that they certainly did not write it.
– Szczucki added that the CBA’s aim is to investigate “exactly such cases”.
Maląg: This is cheating Poland
This is an attempt to smuggle something under the guise of helping Poland, this is to deceive Poland – said the Minister of Development and Technology Marlena Maląg in Program 1 of Polish Radio, referring to the parliamentary bill on support for energy consumers , which also includes amendments to investments in wind farms.
November 28 this year A draft law KO i Polski 2050-TD was submitted to the Sejm, amending laws supporting consumers of electricity, gas and heat, and certain other laws. It also includes, among other things: a proposal to amend the law of 20 May 2016, which was amended on 9 March this year. According to the March amendment, the minimum distance between wind turbines and buildings is now 700 meters.
Maląg was asked on Friday about the draft law KO and Poland 2050-TD regarding wind turbines. “This is deceiving Poland and it involves (…) very important changes in an important social act,” said the Minister of Development and Technology. According to her, the standards that existed in Poland until 2015 are returning.
Inserting (…) a controversial solution into this bill is actually an attempt to smuggle something in under the guise of helping Poland. Under the pretext of helping the Poles, energy prices will be frozen or maintained at a certain level
– she said.
According to her, “it is a scandal how these standards will be implemented in this parliament.”
As she noted, the project “causes great emotions and I don’t think anyone expected that they would want to govern Poland in this way.”
The group of parliamentarians from Poland 2050-TD and KO has submitted to the Sejm a draft amendment to the Law on Support of Energy Consumers. It is assumed that current consumption limits will be maintained proportionately and protected groups will be preserved.
The project also proposes changes regarding investments in wind turbines. The project’s justification shows that it allows the construction of silent wind turbines at a distance of 300 meters from buildings. The authors of the project also proposed to expand the catalog of strategic investments to include wind farms, which means that it will not be necessary to analyze the compliance of their location with the local development plan.
The project also assumes that the distance from a wind farm to a national park or nature reserve is not less than 300 m. It adds that “a minimum distance of 300 m for the installation of new wind farms from areas with acoustic protection” has been introduced even in the case of wind turbines quieter than 100 dBA due to the size of these structures.”
On Thursday, the head of the KO club, Borys Budka, announced at a press conference on Thursday that “an amendment will be made that will clarify this distance, because not only will it be 500 meters from buildings, but a noise standard will also be introduced, so not only the distance, but also “there are also noise problems, so that the windmill is ecological.”
