Polansa energy storage transformation

How much does energy transformation cost Poland?

Finding the funds to carry out the energy transformation is also a challenge. It is estimated that meeting EU energy policy requirements would cost Poland €527.5 billion. However, the price to be paid by avoiding or delaying the energy transformation is much higher in the long term.

Does Poland need energy transformation?

The Polish energy industry, including the management circles of the major energy companies, supports the need for energy transformation. Companies are already planning transition investments, such as the Green Turn programme adopted by Tauron, one of Poland’s largest energy players.

Can the energy transition strengthen Poland's energy sovereignty?

Firstly, the energy transition can contribute significantly to strengthening Polish energy sovereignty by reducing dependence on raw materials from abroad and minimising the costs associated with importing fossil fuels. Poland is heavily dependent on imports and thereby particularly exposed to global price fluctuations.

What is a major problem facing Poland's energy transition?

Ultimately, a major problem facing Poland’s energy transition lies in the lack of agreed strategy on the shape and pace of the energy transition within the ruling elite.

Why is energy transition important in Poland?

Poland is heavily dependent on imports and thereby particularly exposed to global price fluctuations. Secondly, the energy transition is necessary to improve the competitiveness of the Polish economy and develop new economic sectors.

Does Poland support phasing out coal?

Although the party makes accurate diagnoses regarding the problems of the Polish energy sector (including the issue of aging generation capacity) and declares its support for nuclear energy, it is opposed to phasing out coal and advocates Poland’s withdrawal from the most challenging areas of EU energy and climate policy.
