Solar and wind power production grew 27% in 2022

In 2022, Poland saw a 27% increase in wind and solar power production, the highest growth rate among surveyed countries, according to the Energy Transition Readiness Index (ETRI) report by the Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology (REA) in collaboration with Eaton. However, Poland received the lowest readiness score (2 out of 5) among the 14 surveyed countries. The share of renewable energy in Poland's annual electricity consumption was 21%, the lowest among the surveyed nations, compared to over 80% in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

The report highlighted challenges such as limited access to the grid and the need for increased investments in wind and solar energy. Poland aims for 32% of electricity consumption from renewables by 2030, requiring a 69% increase in wind and solar energy production. The report emphasized the importance of financial investments in grid modernization and the need for supportive regulations and policies for successful energy transformation.
