Coal exiting. Renewables scaling. Connectivity decisive.

Poland’s energy transition is accelerating — but can delivery keep pace with ambition?

The pace of change in Poland’s energy market has increased markedly. Coal generation is declining, renewables are scaling rapidly, and Poland’s role as a regional electricity hub is expanding as cross-border interconnection strengthens energy security across Central and Eastern Europe. But grid capacity, system readiness and affordability are increasingly shaping what can be delivered — and when.

With large-scale offshore wind moving from ambition to construction, onshore wind positioned for renewed growth, and solar continuing to expand, the opportunity for investors is significant. At the same time, execution risk is rising, driven by transmission bottlenecks, storage needs, regulatory sequencing and persistently high power prices.

This edition of the Energy Investor Insight Series explores why grid delivery, cross-border connectivity and disciplined system coordination — not capacity targets alone — will determine whether Poland can attract sustained capital, support industrial competitiveness and strengthen long-term energy security.
