Poland 3rd in Europe in PV investments, despite insufficient grid and legal instability - experts

Poland demonstrates an understanding of the need for a modern climate policy and has sufficient funds for investments in the green energy sector. However, experts participating in the debate "Poland on the Threshold of Energy Transformation: Challenges and Opportunities on the Horizon of 2030" at the 13th European Financial Congress in Sopot highlight several persistent issues. These include the lack of clearly defined goals, legal stability, and infrastructure in the energy grid. Despite being the third-largest European investor in photovoltaics in 2022, risks such as the lack of a Capacity Market Mechanism, inflation, and resulting wage pressure in the sector loom on the horizon.

Furthermore, legal regulations and the absence of network and storage infrastructure pose obstacles to the uptake of excess prosumer energy, leading to installations being shut down. According to the experts, while money is not a problem, the main limitations lie in infrastructure, legal regulations, and the need to raise awareness among investors and consumers, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.
