Poland Electric Power Sector Report 2025-2026

The Polish electricity sector is undergoing a profound transformation, shaped by the dual imperatives of energy security and decarbonisation. Electricity generation and consumption displayed marked volatility, with gross generation peaking in 2021 (179.6 TWh) before contracting by nearly 7% in 2023 amid weakening industrial demand and energy-saving measures. Despite these short-term pressures, the sector's long-term growth trajectory is being redefined by the rapid rise of renewables, which has expanded their share of electricity generation radically, driven mainly by wind and solar capacity additions. At the same time, coal's dominant role has gradually been shrinking, with hard coal and lignite production falling at a CAGR of –6.5% and –4.1% respectively between 2019 and 2024, reflecting both structural decline and policy shifts.
