Highlights
- For 2030, Poland targets 23% of renewables in final energy consumption and 32% in power generation. In 2040, the objective is to raise the share of renewables in the power mix to 51%.
- The country pledged to close all its coal mines in 2049.
- PGE accounted for 42% of the power generation in 2021.
- A concentration of the oil sector was finalised in 2022 with the merger of PKN Orlen, PGNiG, and Grupa Lotos.
- Coal companies face a massive restructuring process.
- The share of coal in the power mix has declined by 18 points since 2010 to 70% in 2021.
- Solar capacity has been multiplied by 8 since 2019 to 12.6 GW in 2022.
- Coal production has decreased by 19% since 2010.
- Electricity and gas prices for industry skyrocketed in 2021 by 50% and 134%, respectively.
- Total energy consumption increased by 6% in 2021.
- The share of coal and lignite in the energy mix is declining rapidly (-12 points since 2010, despite a 2-point rebound in 2021).
- Since 2014, gas consumption has been growing by more than 3%/year.
- The country has cancelled most of its coal-fired projects and is developing renewables and gas-fired power projects.
- It is diversifying its gas supply through new gas interconnections and LNG contracts.
Institutions & Energy Policy
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 Supply
Oil:
Poland's oil production is limited (around 5% of its needs with 1.4 Mt in 2021). In 2021, Poland imported 24 Mt of crude oil (-3% compared to 2020). Russia accounted for 60% of crude oil imports in 2021, down from 78% in 2011. Saudi Arabia is becoming the second oil trade partner in 2021 with 14% of crude oil imports (1% in 2015).
Energy Prices
Electricity:
URE approved a 24% increase in household power tariffs from Enea, PGE, Tauron, and Energa in 2022 due to high wholesale energy prices and the costs of purchasing CO2 emission rights. The tariff's increase amounts to about PLN21/month (€4.6/month) and will apply to 9.8 million households, i.e., 63% of residential customers.
Energy Consumption
In 2021, total energy consumption per capita was 2.9 toe (around 7% below the EU average), including around 4 150 kWh of electricity (38% below the EU average).
Total energy consumption rebounded by 6% in 2021 to 108 Mtoe, after a decline of 4%/year on average between 2018 and 2020. Previously, it increased by 3.7%/year between 2015 and 2018.
Issues & Prospects
Poland is confronted with the challenge of modernising and restructuring of the coal and lignite sector.
Under the Polish Energy Policy until 2030, primary energy consumption is assumed to increase by 1.5%/year between 2020 and 2030. 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.
