Poland operates the EU's most coal-intensive electricity grid: lignite and hard coal together still covered ~63% of generation in 2024, down from 80% a decade earlier. PSE, the national TSO, runs the single PL bidding zone synchronously coupled to Germany, Czechia and Slovakia, plus DC links to Sweden (SwePol) and Lithuania (LitPol). The country has no commercial nuclear power — yet — but the 2022 plan to build six AP1000 reactors at Choczewo (3 GW first phase, online 2036) and a separate Korean APR1400 project at Pątnów make Poland Europe's largest planned nuclear newbuild after the UK.
Solar exploded from 1 GW in 2020 to over 22 GW in 2025, driven by aggressive net-metering reforms; on sunny midsummer days, solar now covers a third of demand. Offshore wind in the Baltic is set to deliver the first 1 GW from Baltic Power and Baltica-2 by 2026.
