Poland Power Report Q3 2016: New research report available at Fast Market Research

Recently elected Order and Justice (PiS) government's support for coal-fired generation and proposed punitive requirements for wind power developers will dampen investor interest and ensure the country's continued reliance on the strategically important coal sector for power generation. This will put Poland at odds with the EU over emissions and environmental targets.Latest Updates And Structural TrendsWe maintain our view that coal will dominate Poland's power mix, accounting for more than 75% of the total generation throughout our forecast period to 2025.According to reports by Greenpeace, in early 2016 Poland decided to scrap Choczewo as a potential site for the construction of the proposed nuclear power plant.In early March 2016, Polish government presented draft legislation, proposing crippling requirements for wind power developers. We believe these requirements, combined with the new PiS majority government's support for coal-fired generation, will have a detrimental impact on investor confidence in the Polish wind power sector.As such, we downgraded our growth forecast for Poland's non-hydro renewables generation. We now believe non-hydro renewables generation will average 3.4% expansion in the next ten years (down from 4.9%), contributing 18.1% to the total power mix in 2025.In February 2016, Sweden-based Eltel signed two power transmission contracts for reconstruction of high voltage substations with the Polish transmission grid operator PSE. The projects are in the Jasiniec and Joachimow regions and have a total value of approximately EUR25mn.In early 2016, Poland's largest energy utility Polska Grupa Energetyczna (PGE) and GE signed an approximately EUR40mn deal to upgrade generator and steam turbine assets at the Turow power plant. The upgrades are expected to increase the facility's output by 45MW.
