1. Project description
Project:
Location: project Golczewo is located on the North from Golczewo city in Zachodniopomorskie vovoidship;
estimated size of wind park is planned for 24MW from 12, 2MW wind turbines;
2. Position
2.1. Land position / concession
Project:
- Project will be based on land lease agreement with the land owners. Land lease agreements
have been signed for a total area of 180 ha, sufficient to install approximately 12 turbines in the
2-3 MW range (we will also try to rent the lands in neighbourhood which seems to be feasible
for wind park development).
- the price for this location is 22 000PLN per turbine per year and a lease contract has been
signed for 25 years; in this case all land lease agreements are signed with one Landlord
- land situation in Poland is very specific because usually plots that belong to farmers are very
small in general however the price paid for a land lease contract is still relatively small,
reaching 50-60k PLN per turbine in the most attractive areas.
- At this moment we do not find competition from the other wind farm devlopers in mentioned
location;
Denker and Wulf who was interested in cooperation with our company, and who brought this l
ocation to our attention, is no longer active in the project so we can assume they are not interested
anymore. Moreover the project they proposed to us proved to be without any value so the do not
have a strong legal case to make any claims regarding this project.
The quota obligation is fulfilled by a obligee if the share of RES-E in the overall electricity sales to
end-users amounts to not less than:
- 3.6% in 2006,
- 5.1% in 2007,
- 7.0% in 2008,
- 8.7% in 2009,
- 10.4% in 2010-2014
- 15% in 2020.
Tarrifs:
In Poland the main support system for renewable energy is based on quota obligation applied to all
sellers of electricity to end users on the territory of Poland. The support scheme uses green
certificates which are originating from the guarantees of origin issued by the President of the
Energy Regulatory Office (see official website). The Guarantee of Origin is a document, issued for
the whole RES-E production over a certain period. Green certificates are issued on the basis of
Guarantees of Origin for every 1 kWh of production . The green certificates become valid at the
moment of recording the Guarantees of Origin on the recording account of the entity that is entitled
to them. The number of green certificates corresponds to the energy volume specified in a certain
Guarantee of Origin. The green certificates have unlimited duration, they expire only when the
Guarantee of Origin has been redeemed. The Guarantee of Origin may be redeemed fully or
partially. The redemption of the Guarantee of Origin causes the expiry of all or a part of underlying
green certificates. The current Polish energy legislation policy foresees the duration of the quota
obligation support scheme till 2014.
Aspects related to the Guarantees of Origin and green certificates are regulated by the amended
Act called the Energy Law (the Act of 10th April 1997, see Polish version), in particular by the parts
addressed to renewable energy sources.
From 1st October 2005 the Polish Power Exchange (Towarowa Giełda Energii S.A. PolPX)
manages the registry of green certificates and their trade. The results from the green certificate
market presented by the Polish Power Exchange are not differentiated for sorts of RES-E such as
wind energy (onshore or offshore), hydro energy, solar energy, biomass combustion etc. Also the
Energy Law has in general no special arrangements for particular sorts of renewable energy and as
such also not for offshore wind energy.
The redemption of Guarantees of Origin must take place till 31 March each year for the previous
st
year (e.g. till March 31 2007 for the year 2006) and is obligatory as a proof of fulfilling the
obligation. Energy companies can also pay a so-called ‘buy out price’ which amounts to 240
1
PLN/MWh (62.41 Euro/MWh ).

So far wind projects have not been delayed by public protests or appeals. The strong support from
the government is one reason and usually there is also quite a good local support for wind projects
as both the landowners and the municipalities profit from a wind farm.
The grid application process for Golczewo can be started (application for the conditions of
connecting to the grid has been filed). This is only possible when you can proof that you own or
lease the described land and when you submit detailed electrical specifications of the wind
turbines.
Project:
We sent application to Enea Operator sp. z o.o. We should send them additional maps. We are still
waiting for maps. We have 70% chance to get grid conditions there. However before a final
3. Cooperation
3.1. Partnerships
Project:
- We do not have partners in this project
- Denker and Wulf who was interested in cooperation with our company, and who brought this
location to our attention, is no longer active in the project so we can assume they are not
interested anymore. Moreover the project they proposed to us proved to be without any value
so the do not have a strong legal case to make any claims regarding this project.
3.2. Stakeholders
Project:
- Major stakeholders and their involvement (goals/ role) in the project (description of partners
and clients) – Not applicable
5. Planning
- Preliminary development planning:
o DG1 – start development Q1 2008
o DG2 – consent achieved Q3 2009
o DG3 – start construction / FC Q1 2010
o DG4 – start generation Q4 2010
- Overview of required human resources (internal / external)
o See DEVEX spreadsheet in annex 1
o internal ~ 2000 hours
o Ecofys ~ 100.000 euro
o external ~ 330.000 euro
- Resume
Strengths: Weakness:
International company with good reputation Insufficient number of staff
Office in Poland Lack of business cars which are necessary
People with broad experience – not only in wind for projects developers who should spend
energy most of time out of office
Lack of simple tools like for instance gsm
device
Opportunities: Threats
Chance to develop wind park with relatively small In case the percentage of green electricity
costs of investment reach the mandatory level and above the
Opportunity to build up revenue from green price of green certificates on the Polish Power
electricity Exchange can drop
Chance to get a financial support from EU fund
If we do not pursue this opportunity we miss the possibility to realise a medium size wind project.
Project:
We advise to start the development of this project. If we do not pursue this opportunity we miss the
possibility to realise a 24 MW wind project.
The project has a good chance for success:
• The land has been secured,
• The wind speed has been estimated at 6.5-7.0 m/s
• The grid connection is available
Next steps are to start wind speed measurements and a detailed grid analysis to secure the grid
capacity.
