Investments in the energy sector are planned for years, and we live in times of extremely dynamic changes. E.On intensifies its investments in Poland in renewable energy sources, modernizes infrastructure, and decarbonizes assets. What does he need in the decision making process?
Openness to technologies
– Regulations are a compass, according to which we move. Just like a sailor who must have a designated direction, the same energy, which faces a huge transformation, needs a direction – said Dr. Andrzej Modzelewski at the studio of Dziennik Gazeta Prawna at the European Economic Congress in Katowice.
– We do not expect that politicians or decision -makers will love their homework for us, but will indicate: whether we will decarbonized the economy, and if so, at what rate He added.
He stipulated that it is extremely important that no specific technology was imposed.
– Investments are made for years and it is difficult to say now that one or the other technology wins because technological progress is very strong. That is why technological openness is needed – he noted.
As the president of E.On Polska said, excessive subsidy of certain technologies, often ends badly, and as an example he indicated the development of home solar solar. First it was very supported.
– Later this market froze and many customers ask why a neighbor can use this technology, and I don’t. That is why we call for indicating the direction and predictability of the regulation – if one direction is chosen, so as not to change it – he emphasized.
Necessary investments, balance needed
To fulfill EU climate and energy obligations in the perspective of 2030 and 2050, you need to find a balance between record investments in energy transformation and affordable energy prices for end recipients. This was one of the key conclusions of the latest E.on report “The Energy Playbook”.
– If we do nothing, energy prices will increase – emphasized the president of the board of E.on Polska.
