Power sector in danger?
According to a report in daily Gazeta Prawna, Poland's electrical energy exports between January and October were around 10 percent higher than its imports. In comparison, exports were around five times higher than imports in 2006.
If demand for energy does not decrease, Poland will soon go from being a net exporter to a net importer of electricity. Money.pl reported in July that Poland's demand for electrical energy would exceed production after 2020 and that by around 2030 it would be forced to import 30 percent of its energy. This situation might be averted if the country built a nuclear plant, but this has been the subject of disputes for years.
Poland's electrical-energy exports have been falling for three years.
