If you want to set up windmills in Poland you need to meet the requirements of the Polish energy law, environmental and construction legislation.
First, in accordance with the Council of Ministers, 9 November 2004 "on determining the types of projects which may significantly affect the environment and specific conditions for qualifying projects to draw up a report on the environmental impact," you must submit a report on the environmental impact of the project. It is required if installations planned for the land use wind power for energy production, with nominal power of not less than 100 MW, or installation planned in the Republic of Polish maritime areas use wind power for energy production. In addition, the impact report projects on the environment may require the installation using wind power for energy production with a total amount not less than 30 m.

Thirdly, in order to resell the energy to the electricity grid, the public must sign a contract to join, which takes place after fulfillment by the entity applying for connection of the requirements set out in the conditions of attachment issued by the Transmission System Operator (TSO).
