EU approves Polish € 22.5 billion offshore wind CfD scheme
The European Commission has approved Polish offshore wind Contracts for Difference (CfD)
scheme, through which the country plans to support the realisation of offshore wind projects with € 22.5 billion and reach its renewable energy targets without unduly distorting competition.
The CfD scheme, which the Commission approved under EU State aid rules, will be implemented in two phases.

The reference price for projects in the first phase will be administratively fixed based on their costs, with a maximum set at 319,60 PLN/MWh (EUR 71,82/MWh).
