Highlights
- Carbon-free sources should account for 73% of Poland's electricity demand in 2040.
- The country pledged to close all its coal mines in 2049.
- PGE accounted for 37% of the power generation in 2023.
- Orlen Group dominates oil and gas supply since 2022, following the merger of PKN Orlen, PGNiG, and Grupa Lotos.
- The share of coal and lignite in the power mix has declined by 26 points since 2010 to 62% in 2023.
- Solar capacity has grown very rapidly since 2019 (+3.5 GW/year) to around 16 GW in 2023.
- Coal and lignite production has decreased by 33% since 2010.
- The price of gas for households and of electricity for both households and industry kept increasing in 2023.
- Total energy consumption at normal climate has decreased by 4%/year since 2022.
- The share of coal and lignite in the energy mix is declining rapidly (-19 points since 2010).
- The country has cancelled most of its coal-fired projects and is developing alternative power projects (10 GW of nuclear under development, 30 GW of renewables, and 6 GW gas-fired).
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 4% of its needs with 1.2 Mt in 2023). In 2022, Poland imported 25.7 Mt of crude oil (+12% compared to 2021). Imports from Russia dropped to only 5% of crude oil imports in 2023, after accounting for 43% in 2022, and 63% in 2021.
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 2022, total energy consumption per capita was 2.6 toe (around 5% below the EU average), including around 4 100 kWh of electricity (24% below the EU average).
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.
