Although there is no RES Act yet, there is plenty of prospective wind energy market participants. The VIIIth PWEA Wind Energy Conference, concluded on 25 April 2013 in Serock near Warsaw, demonstrated that the industry not only still persists in its tremendous potential, but may face further stable development, in particular in the long term.
Two days of presentations and workshops, almost 600 participants, large-area exhibition and more than 40 exhibitors – these are the key statistics of the largest industry conference. Traditionally, Conference participants could learn the assessment of the current market situation, the latest trends and development forecasts for the wind energy market in Poland.

However, the success of the Conference is not only a claim to fame, but also tremendous responsibility and challenge for PWEA’.
