Though Poland will initially distribute free permits for about 78 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, however the number will drop to 32 million tonnes in 2019, reports Reuters.
According to a proposal by Economy Ministry, about 50 new energy installations will be eligible to receive at least some free permits, along with the existing plants.
Under the European Union rules, power plants in western Europe will have to pay for every tonne of carbon dioxide emissions from 2013.
But eastern countries, including poland, get more time in a phased approach to help them grow their economies.
Though Poland received 70% of permits for free, the limit was lowered because of high energy production than consumption.
