Dr Mariusz Matyka from Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation (State Research Institute in Puławy) discussed the impact of wind energy on agricultural production. The analysis of contemporary knowledge allows for a statement that wind farm construction shall not deteriorate agricultural production conditions. To the contrary, available sources demonstrate a series of positive effects of co-existence between wind farms and agricultural production. Moreover, wind energy does not entail substantial limitations in agricultural production. The impact of the climate and energy package on wind enregy development in Poland was discussed by dr Krzysztof Księżopolski from University of Warsaw. The last paper, concerning the environmental decision issuance procedure, was presented by dr Joanna Sztyber. The environmental decision is a mandatory element of the administrative permits acquisition procedure for projects likely to substantially affect the environment.

assessment of their environmental impact during the entire life cycle, from resources
acquisition, through manufacture, use and final waste disposal.
The “Wind energy vs. the environment” paper was presented by Maciej Rozkrut from
ENVIRON Poland Sp. z o.o. A paper on small wind energy was presented by Professor Piotr
Doerffer, Eng., from Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The
market for small wind turbines is in initial growth phase and faces numerous challenges, yet
offers substantial perspectives and development opportunities. The RES Act, recently adopted
by the Sejm, is to facilitate small wind energy development.
Dr Wojciech Miąskowski, Eng., from University of Warmia and Mazury presented a paper on
distributed energy technologies and their development opportunties. Distributed energy is
the production of electricity, heat as well as liquid fuels by small units or facilities for local use.
Energy produced by distributed energy sector is usually produced from renewable energy
sources. Advantages of distributed energy include the capacity to use local energy resources,
in particular renewable energy sources, avoidance of excessive installed capacity, reduction in
transmission losses, increase in energy security through diversification of energy sources and
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

THE “WIND ENERGY: AN INTEGRAL PART OF PODKARPACIE LANDSCAPE” CONFERENCE
31.03.2015, RZESZÓW
The “Wind energy: an integral part of Podkarpackie landscape” Conference concluded the one-year series of Polish Wind Energy Association events under the national “Fair Wind for Regions” campaign.
The event was opened by Krzysztof Tyszkiewicz, PWEA Vice-President, presenting the current development perspectives of wind energy in Poland and discussed the RES Act with the attendees. Works on the draft RES Act lasted more than 3 years. During that period the concept and key assumptions changed and evolved. The Act establishes a new support model based on an auction scheme. This means that instead of the today’s green certificates granted to each entrepreneur producing energy from RES, starting in 2016 investors will participate in auctions, where one will have to compete for support.
Furthermore, the Conference also discussed the following issues: the opportunities and determinants of the Podkarpackie Province in the context of wind energy development; wind farm environmental impact forecasting, avoidance and minimisation methods; the impact of wind turbine noise on human health; small wind energy; wind resource measurement and recording methods used to design wind farm sites; wind energy in the Polish landscape.
The Conference featured the following speakers:
– Krzysztof Tyszkiewicz, Polish Wind Energy Association
– Professor Zbigniew Myczkowski, Kraków Univesrity of Technology
– Marta Kaczmarek, EkoPerfekt
– dr Jacek Szulczyk, dB-Projekt sp. z o.o.
– Piotr Rudyszyn, w4e Centrum Energii Wiatrowej – Jerzy Krużel, Podkarpacki Klaster Energii Odnawialnej
The attendees were particularly interested in the paper presenting the knowledge about the impact of wind turbine noise on human health. During the presentation dr Jacek Szulczyk from dB-Projekt sp z o.o. discussed the issues related to specification of immission levels and noise range upon the wind farm design stage.
Professor Zbigniew Myczkowski from Kraków University of Technology discussed the issues related to wind energy in the Polish landscape. During the presentation he stressed that sites must each time be documented for a specific location; it is impossible to implement such investments on the basis of imposed “strict” assumptions. The location of wind farms depends primarily on wind conditions as well as environmental and infrastructural determinants. Sophisticated analyses are carried out for each wind farm to verify if the implementation of a particular project will bring the expected results. The Polish law includes precise provisions specifying wind farm location principles.
20 Fair Wind for Regions – A report
The next paper, presented by Marta Kaczmarek from EKOPERFEKT, was entitled “Wind farm environmental impact forecasting, avoidance and minimisation methods”. A fundamental element of wind farm environmental impact forecasting is site assessment in terms of potential social and environmental conflicts as well as specification of the scope of analyses necessary for a comprehensive assessment of the investment’s impact on its surroundings.
