Overview

Poland’s energy and climate policy centres on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, expanding renewable energy, and enhancing energy security while phasing out coal dependence. Ambitious targets include a significant share of renewables in electricity generation by 2030, supported by offshore wind, nuclear, and gas capacity expansions. The government oversees key sectors through state-owned enterprises, with regulatory bodies ensuring market competition and infrastructure development. Challenges include restructuring the coal sector, diversifying gas imports, and modernising energy systems to meet EU climate goals.

Highlights

  • Poland targets a 32.6% share of renewables in its final consumption and 56% in its power mixin 2030. GHG emissions are targeted to be cut by 50% in 2030.
  • PGE and ENEA account for 45% of total power generation. Orlen Group dominates oil and gas supply.
  • Total primary consumption has decreased by 4%/year since 2021. The share of coal in the energy mix has decreased by 21 points since 2010 to 33% in 2024, almost at the same level as oil.
  • Final energy consumption remained stable in 2024, after a sharp reduction from 2021 to 2023(-3.7%/year).
  • Oil is the main energy source of final consumers (45% in 2024).
  • Electricity prices are around 17% higher than the EU average for households and 11% higher than the EU average for industry.
  • The country aims to integrate 9 GW of renewables and 1.4 GW of ESS by 2035.
  • The European Commission approved a €1.2bn scheme to support the development of a 5.4 GWh ESS.

  • Energy & Climate Policy Framework

    The Ministry of Climate and Environment is in charge of the country's energy policy, markets, and infrastructure, along with energy efficiency and energy security matters, and climate policy. It oversees public companies dealing with coal production, electricity, and petroleum extraction.

  • Energy Companies

    Gas:

    Orlen Group (former PGNiG) dominates the gas supply (85% in 2024) and the wholesale gas market (90% of volumes sold in 2023). In 2024, Orlen produced 3.3 bcm in Poland. The group imported 13.4 bcm (85% of total imports) and sold 27.6 bcm in 2024.

  • Energy Supply & Demand

    Gas:

    Gas production remained stable in 2024, at 5.3 bcm. It remained rather stable, at a slightly higher level (5.5 bcm) between 2010 and 2022; in 2024, it covered 25% of the country's needs.

    In 2024, the country imported 15.8 bcm of gas (as in 2023), around 40% of which as LNG.

  • Energy Use and Price by Sector

    Energy Prices in Residential:

    The government adopted measures to help the Polish economy cope with soaring electricity prices caused by rising CO2 emissions costs.

    In 2022, the government introduced Anti-inflation Shields 1.0 and 2.0, reducing VAT on energy products from 23% to 8% for oil, 0% for natural gas, and 5% for electricity from January to 31 July 2022.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Poland is confronted with the challenge of modernising and restructuring of the coal and lignite sector.

    According to the energy policy, "Towards Poland's 2040 Energy Mix", the energy demand is expected to ramp up by 20% to 25% by 2040.
