Renewable energy in Poland - statistics & facts
The transformation of Poland's energy sector, shifting from coal power toward renewable energy sources (RES), is inevitable. Poland has pledged to reduce CO2 emissions, causing radical changes to the energy mix in a country where coal-based energy production has dominated. According to the draft "Energy Policy of Poland until 2040", from 2021, coal will be the source of 56 percent of electricity in 2030 and 28 percent in 2040. The share of RES will be 32 percent in 2030 and 40 percent in 2040, respectively.
