The article discusses a new legislative proposal in Poland that seeks to address the challenges in the renewable energy sector, highlighted by Grzegorz Onichimowski, the president of Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne (PSE). He emphasizes the urgent need to expedite the development of renewable energy sources (OZE) in Poland, warning that failing to do so could lead to a 'gas trap' where energy prices are dictated by gas supply and demand. He criticizes the current timeline for OZE installations, which can take longer than gas block constructions, and stresses the necessity of avoiding 'orphaned costs' that could ultimately drive energy prices higher rather than lower.

Onichimowski's proposed network law aims to provide investors with a choice in how they develop energy projects, whether independently or with the assistance of specialized firms. He points out the current issue where companies engaged in project development control all available connection points, which exacerbates delays and inefficiency in the sector. His comments reflect a broader concern about the pace of energy transition and the structural bottlenecks in the Polish energy market.

The implications of this legislative push are significant, as it seeks not only to facilitate the growth of sustainable energy but also to secure more stable and potentially lower energy prices for consumers. If successful, this initiative could mark a pivotal shift in energy policy in Poland, aligning with broader European trends towards renewable energy and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
