Energy transformation pays off, but after June 1 I do not feel that we agree on this transformation; We can become an open -air museum – said Minister of Energy Miłosz Motyk on Saturday at Campus Academy in Międzyzdroje.
The Minister of Energy, talking about the challenges for the future of the Polish energy sector, pointed out that the most important thing is “to take key strategic projects to 2035 and 2040 – atom and offshore.”
A challenge is also a departure from coal. At the same time, in the opinion of Minister Motyk, transformation, especially in such regions as Turów or Bełchatów, you need to conduct “fairly” way, employees associated with this branch of industry must be used, not to risk politically.
– If we don't do it, the transformation may fail, it will be expensive. And this energy transformation pays off for us – noted Minister Motyk.
He admitted that after June 1 (after the presidential election – PAP), there is no “feeling that we agree on energy transformation.”
– Again, we can become an open -air museum. We will wonder what laws to introduce to pay extra to the invoice. And I do not want to pay extra for the bills. I want it to be around the world, that it is the market that verifies and is cheaper. The payroll policy ends badly. You will have to take somewhere – from education, sport. It's not like we have an infinite budget. If there is a chance to set up electricity, let's do it – the head of the ministry pointed out.
He added that this challenge after June 1 became “bigger”, because “in the presidential palace we have a person who will slow down this energy transformation.”
He suggested, in response to the question in terms of “nonsense” told about the effects of setting windmills on land, that maybe it was necessary to accelerate the legislative procedure over the act, so that this one would sign up for President Andrzej Duda.
– It will be a difficult term of office in this area – admitted Minister Motyk. He reminded that during the rule of Law and Justice, it was possible to win more in climate policy. – not negotiated. No funds were guaranteed. (…) There are no shielding mechanisms. Is ETS2 risky for our economy? – Yes. The social climate fund can help, but not as much as we would be able to start it, so that it is not a limp price -forming factor for the entire economy, mainly energy carriers – said the minister.
When asked if Europe was crazy in energy matters after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, he pointed to the nuclear alliance as one of the leading politicians. He noted that there was a “gigantic return on this matter.”
He also assessed that the war in Ukraine changed the market structure. – We go towards dispersion of sources (energy – PAP) – he noted. He added that this direction also requires faster operation in the development of energy storage and there is money for it.
The minister, when asked about solutions regarding the acceleration of issuing conditions for energy connections, noted that the draft provisions simplifying and shortening the procedure is at the “stage of recent government arrangements”. He noted that the document will also include solutions that are to curb the pathology of not taking out investments specified in the issued conditions. – We must implement this project by the end of the year – he noted.
At the end of July, Rafał Trzaskowski announced the dismissal of the annual Campus Polska event initiated by him since 2021. Instead, a party in the Campus Academy formula was organized in Międzyzdroje, which will last until Sunday. (PAP)
