Poland's Energy Transition: National Plan Aims to Phase Out Coal
Poland's government has adopted the National Energy and Climate Plan (KPEiK) with a two-year delay, signaling a shift from coal to renewable energy sources and natural gas. This strategic document outlines a 15-year roadmap for energy transformation, with a significant increase in renewable energy share expected by 2040.

The National Energy and Climate Plan (KPEiK) aims to transition Poland's energy sector by prioritizing renewable energy sources (OZE) and natural gas, which will replace domestic coal. By 2030, the installed capacity in the national power system is projected to exceed 90 GW, rising to approximately 128-156 GW by 2040.
Key forecast metrics include a renewable energy share of 51.6-53.2% by 2030 and up to 68.9% by 2040. The plan outlines the closure of 12 coal mines, with economic challenges posed by EU regulations on methane emissions. Critics argue that reliance on imported gas may lead to energy security risks, complicating the transition away from coal.
