Poland’s Energy Policy by 2040 (PEP2040) maps out Poland’s plan to introduce nuclear power into its energy mix. 

Tauron Group, the Polish state-owned electric power concern, has been participating in research programs carried out by the American Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in the area of energy storage. 

Poland plans to achieve the EU15 energy intensity level of 2005 by 2030 and is obligated to meet EU directives to improve energy efficiency by 20% in 2020, showing annual energy efficiency savings of 1.5%.

Almost eighty percent of Poland’s electricity is produced by hard and brown coal fired power plants that were built between1960-1980, and no longer meet the EU’s strict environmental requirements for greenhouse gas emissions reduction. 

Expanding and upgrading of Poland’s electricity transmission network is a key element to meet its EU goals of increasing renewable energy sources.

Energy transformation is one of the major pillars of the European Commission’s (EC) strategy for economic recovery. This approach is compatible with Poland’s economic priorities of energy sector transformation to meet EU Green Deal obligations.
