Morawiecki: Poland ‘on the right track’ to meet EU renewable energy targets

We are on the right track to meet the 15 percent target by 2020 for renewable energy agreed with the European Union, PM Mateusz Morawiecki said. “We are on a very good road to carry it out.” When asked about investments in renewable energy, Morawiecki started comparing Poland’s current state with Western European economies and the fact that they had a head start over our economy. “Very rich countries that could build a normal economic system after World War II invested 10-15 years ago in renewable energy sources. These investments were subsidized,” he said. Poland had to base its economy on coal after World War II, according to Morawiecki and has only recently started investing in renewables, “which we are developing very intensively,” he added.
