Summary/Abstract: The wind energy begins to play an increasingly important role in the Polish energy sector. The total capacity of Polish wind power reached almost 2.500 MW at the end of 2012. Moreover, the volume of electricity generated by wind turbines amounted to 4 524 473.670 MWh as of 30 May 2012 (according to the number of the certificates of origin, confirmed by the President of the Energy Regulatory Authority in 2012). In view of the growing importance of wind energy it seems worthwhile to research into operational activities connected with this sector. Therefore, the aim of this article is to describe the main topics related with choosing a location for the construction of wind turbines. The article contains an overview of the factors impacting the choice of the location for the above-mentioned investment.
