Summary/Abstract: The article presents legislative procedures concerning the renewable energy sources sector. Preparation and adoption of the act on renewable energy sources lasted 5 years, which had a negative impact on investment processes in this area. Legislative regulations have been changed many times, an example of which is the so-called the distance law, that is the Act on Wind Farm Investment. The author points out that the introduction of sudden legislative changes that unexpectedly worsen the legal and economic situation of investors, violating the stability and transparency of the legal system, may be the basis for awarding multi-million-dollar compensations.
