May 24, 2021, by Adrijana Buljan Poland’s Ministry of Climate and Environment has drafted a regulation on the technical requirements for power transmission from offshore wind farms to the grid on land. On 21 May, the Ministry submitted the draft regulation for inter-ministerial arrangements and public consultations, with the deadline for comments set for 4 June. The new regulation specifies the technical requirements for offshore substations and other elements of an offshore transmission system that will ensure the electricity generated by wind farms off Poland will be reliably delivered to the country’s grid on land. The solutions proposed in the draft regulation are intended to ensure that at the stage of construction, operation and decommissioning, the components of an offshore transmission system meet the requirements related to the safety of structures (in terms of strength, load-bearing capacity and stability), fire safety, safety of use, and environmental protection. The regulation is also looking to ensure that an offshore grid’s operational conditions are “suitable for the purpose of various types of devices and structures or installations included in the offshore wind farm”.
