Polish President Karol Nawrocki has proposed legislation to freeze energy prices amid ongoing debates over the country's energy policy. However, he used his veto power for the first time to block a cabinet bill that aimed to curb energy prices by easing regulations on onshore wind farm development. Nawrocki described the wind farm bill as "blackmail" and sought to separate the issue of price freezes from wind energy regulations. The vetoed bill was intended to increase wind power production in Poland, but the president favors nuclear power as an alternative energy source. Prime Minister Donald Tusk criticized Nawrocki's veto, warning that it would lead to higher electricity costs for Polish consumers. The clash highlights a continuing divide in Poland's approach to balancing renewable energy expansion with energy affordability.
