POSSIBLE FUTURE SCENARIOUS

• Quotas should be revised;• Onshore installed capacities till 850 MW;• 850 MW could be reached untill 2018;• Offshore wind energy development:– 2014 – 2015 rules and regulations;– 2015 – 2018 investigation;– 2018 – 2022 construction;

Wind Barriers • Limited installed capacity - 500 MW;• Not completed legal regulation;• Lack of understanging from public servants;• Deffective support scheme (auctions);• Limitation by legal procedures:– Complicated land use planning;– Environment protection procedures;– Human health regulation procedures;– National defence interests (conflicts with radars);

• Phobias and myths in society;
