In 2005 Polish Energy Law Act was amended in order to implement decisions of EU Directive 2001/77/EC. Quota system obligation for electricity derived from renewable energy sources was introduced in the form of a "Green Certificate" system which entered into force on 1 st  of October 2005. Energy companies selling electricity to end-users are obliged to obtain and submit to the President of the Energy Regulatory Office (ERO) certificate of origin of their product – Green Certificate.

The Decree of 14th August 2008 provides details on the renewable energy quota obligation and certificates system, outlining how the scheme will be implemented. It specifies that all technologies are eligible under the scheme, with some conditions for biomass co-firing (a specified percentage of biomass must be used for facilities over 5MW) and origin of biomass (for facilities over 20MW).

All energy companies that sell electricity to final consumers and are connected to the Polish grid must comply with the quota requirements. The Decree establishes the quota amounts to be met, expressed as a percentage of the amount of energy sold by the company. The quota amount can be met using any technology or combination of technologies. These quotas are:

7.0% in 2008;

8.7% in 2009;

10.4% from 2010-12;

10.9% in 2013;

11.4% in 2014;

11.9% in 2015;

12.4% in 2016;

12.9% in 2017;

Obligations are met using the certificates of origin, which prices are determined by the market. Certificates can be traded on the Polish Power Stock Exchange. Failure to obtain and present to the authorities of the green certificates results in paying a substitution fee that is set annually by ERO and is tied to an average price for electricity generated from coal in Poland. Failure to pay the fee results in further financial penalties. The Decree specifies that the costs of purchasing of the certificates or paying the fee can be passed on in the electricity price charged, though the Decree limits this amount.

Not Even Musk Has The Answer To AI’s Power Shortage

The White House issued a stark warning in July 2025: Without $1.4 trillion in new infrastructure investment, electricity prices could surge as much as 58% by 2030. That’s driven mostly by the insatiable power demand from the rise of AI data centers and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. According to Axios, new reports show that power demand is set to grow up to 10x between now and 2030. The grid we’ve relied on for decades simply can't keep pace, and that’s threatening to put a major strain on both the AI and Bitcoin booms that have…

The Next Oil Rally Could Be Driven by Stockpile Buying

The war in the Middle East has cost the world over a billion barrels in cumulative supply losses. Yet luckily, China had built a reserve of about the same size before the closure of Hormuz, so it stopped buying so much oil, arresting the inevitable price jump. Now, everyone wants to build an oil reserve—or needs to replenish the ones they already have. Back in March, soon after the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran began, prompting the latter to retaliate by closing the Strait of Hormuz, the International Energy Agency said it would release…

Ukraine's Refinery Strikes Push Russia Into a Fuel Crisis

After weeks of trying to downplay the impact of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries, the Kremlin acknowledged this weekend that Russia faces fuel shortages and a fuel crisis that needs further government intervention to solve. A few weeks ago, regional governors across Russia rushed to downplay the fuel crisis, seeking to assure residents that supply is tight only at limited gas stations and there is no need to panic about shortages. Apparently, this narrative couldn’t be contained for too long as Ukraine is stepping up attacks…

How the Hormuz Crisis Turned Southeast Asia Into a Solar Powerhouse

The United States and Iran have stepped back from the brink of all-out war, but the ceasefire that followed nearly four months of fighting is still being tested by flare-ups around the Strait of Hormuz. One outcome of the crisis, though, is already clear: the clean energy transition is speeding up, and shows no sign of slowing. The war is just the latest in a string of conflicts to send shockwaves through oil and gas markets in recent years, leaving global leaders increasingly wary of dependence on fossil fuel imports and underscoring the energy…

China's Coal Habit Is Outpacing Its Clean Energy Boom

A recent social media post from a meteorologist with a large following made a claim that deserves a closer look. The post argued that it is a myth that China is responsible for rapidly rising carbon dioxide emissions, and it has been shared hundreds of times. The following graphic attached to the post, from Our World in Data, showed annual carbon dioxide emissions by world region. It also showed something that undercut the claim: China’s emissions have surged this century and now represent the largest single-country contribution to annual…
