14. Wind energy industry in Poland Polish industryready for manufacturing allcomponents of wind turbines, foundations and othertechnicalinfrastructure: • towers, nacelles, hubs – steel, metallurgy and shipbuilding industry, • generators, transformers, control systems – electromechanical industry, • gears, ramparts, clatches, breaks, bearings, hydraulical and pneumatic systems – mechanical industry, • compositeblades– aviation industry, • automatic and control systems – control and electronics industry, • specializedships for installing and maintenance of offshore wind turbines – shipbuilding industry.

15. Wind energy industry in Poland >> Polish enterprises obtainorders for wind turbineelementsfrom EU partners and Polish wind farm developers. >> CooperationbetweenPolish enterprises and EU wind turbinemanufacturersinthe field of advancedtechnologies. >> Manufacturing of wind turbineelementsconcentratesmainlyinnorth and west region of Poland – localization of appriopriate industry, proximity of customers and accessibility of harbours for sea transport of theelements. >> Thereare no manufacturesin Poland thatoffercomplete wind turbines of high power. >> Some enterprises whichoperateinthe wind energy sectorarebranches of international companies.
