Poland’s Ministry of National Defence has prepared a decision intended to make the investment process for onshore wind farms more transparent and predictable while preserving state-security and armed-forces requirements. Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced it on 8 June at the PSEW conference in Świnoujście.
The minister said the decision reduces discretion and clarifies the rules, aiming to simplify procedures and ease the issuing of approvals where wind projects interact with military needs. He linked it to a broader security agenda built around the Baltic, including recent legislation on Baltic security and on defence-sector investment.
Kosiniak-Kamysz framed energy security as one of three pillars of national security alongside military capability and economic resilience, arguing that domestic wind power — onshore and offshore — strengthens independence from imported fuels. He described wind as a source of cheaper, more secure energy.
For the Baltic region, a defence-ministry route to clearer siting rules addresses one of the persistent obstacles to onshore wind in Poland, where proximity to military installations and radar has long complicated permitting.
