On Thursday, President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the amendment to the Act on investments in the field of wind farms and some other acts. The main purpose of the Act is the liberalization of existing provisions on investments in windmills on land. The amendment introduces 500 m as a minimum allowable distance between new wind turbines and residential buildings. Currently, it is 700 m. The Act also contains regulations regarding the freezing of electricity prices in the last quarter of this year.

Also on Thursday, the minister of climate and environment Paulina Hennig-Kloska announced that the ministry of climate and the environment wants to direct the so-called windmill, but slightly modified. (PAP Biznes)
