WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland will add 200-300 megawatts of wind power in 2010, roughly the same as 275 megawatts added last year, the Polish wind-energy lobby told Reuters on Monday.

The total installed power out of wind-farms reached 724 megawatts at end-2009.

'Acceleration in the process of building the farms depends on whether conditions for such investments improve,' said Jacek Tukaj, a specialist at Polish Wind Energy Association.

Tukaj added the main stumbling blocks for faster development of the wind-based clean energy include poor state of the national power grid and unclear environment regulations delaying investment decisions.

Poland's economy ministry estimates renewable energy sources will generate 9.1 percent of the country's usage by end-2010. At present, renewables account for some 7 percent of Polish power production.

Poland depends in over 90 percent on highly-polluting coal to generate its energy, but vows to get over 15 percent out of renewable sources by 2020.
