SWOT analysis of the renewable energy sector in Poland. Case study of Wielkopolskie region

This paper presents SWOT analyses of renewable energy in Wielkopolskie region, Poland. The current state, energy potential and future prospects for the development of renewable energy in the region are presented. The SWOT analysis led to the conclusion that the pace of development of the renewable energy sector in Poland depends largely on: the proposed legislation on renewable energy sources being adopted, legal regulations being made simpler, increased subsidies for development of the sector, introduction of guaranteed certificate prices, and educating the public, investors, developers and decision-makers.
