Poland Renewable Energy Sector Report 2025-2026

Coal continues to dominate Poland's energy landscape, accounting for approximately 70% of the country's energy consumption, the highest share among EU member states. However, Poland has increasingly embraced a more sustainable energy trajectory in recent years, seeking to curb its dependence on fossil fuels and expand the role of renewable energy sources (RES). By 2024, renewables made up 51% of the nation's total installed power generation capacity, though their share in actual electricity production remained lower, at 27%. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Poland's grid-connected renewable energy capacity reached 33.8 GW by the end of 2024. Solar energy contributed the largest share, accounting for 60% of this capacity, followed by wind power at 30%. Notably, over 80% of the country's solar installations are small-scale systems, each with a capacity of less than 50 kW, highlighting the important role of distributed generation in Poland's renewable energy transition.
