WARSAW (Reuters) - GDF Suez would demand compensation from Poland if the country brings in a new renewables law cutting support for green energy, Chief Executive of GDF's Polish unit Grzegorz Gorski was quoted saying on Wednesday.

The French company is most concerned about plans to cut support for biomass co-firing, the largest source of renewable power in Poland's energy mix. This process involves mixing wood and other plant material with coal before it is burnt in power stations.

"The rules proposed for biomass co-firing, which is key for us, are significantly worse than those in the currently applicable energy law," Gorski was quoted as saying by business daily Puls Biznesu.
