description In order to enable constant development of wind farms, as well as an increasing share of renewable energy sources in total energy production, certain auxiliary steps have to be taken. Investing in wind farms absorbs great outlays. Therefore, the President of Energy Regulatory Office issues so called “green certificates.” These certificates can be disposed on the Polish Power Exchange, which may become the additional income for energy companies. Nonetheless, the arising and developing field of energy from renewable sources paradoxically leads to a decrease in price of green certificates. The article analyses the way how a decrease in price of green certificates influences the company’s performance, as well as tackles the issue of implementing the new project concerning renewable sources of energy and the matter of support in the shape of certificates. It is perceptible that, when the income from green certificates is decreasing, the cost of depreciation of this object as well as the interests and loans to be paid are too high to acquit of the liabilities. However, it is significant to draw attention to the fact that wind farms are still profitable. The indicated decline in the volume of support for wind farms causes that many foreign investors started to withdraw from engaging in Polish wind farms. However, in the occurred circumstances the project of a new bill concerning the system of support in shape of green certificates is becoming crucial.
