New laws boost Polish renewable energy.

The article reports on the new energy and environment laws allowing renewable energy producers in Poland to trade on the Polish power exchange. To date, the exchange is already operational, with an expected turnover of 180 million euros per year at its initial stage. As stated by the new law, companies are required to prove that they purchase renewable energy but for those who can't, they must pay a substitute fee of 60 euros per megawatt hour. Failure to do either of the two will be sanctioned by paying severe fines.
