Wind energy brings real benefits to municipalities, innovative heat storage technologies gain global clients, and Polish mining records billion losses. How do these changes affect the future of the energy sector and who will gain on them?
World energy undergoes dynamic changes - China has achieved 30% of renewable energy in energy production, and Europe intensifies climate activities. Meanwhile, coal mining is falling in Poland, but the society remains divided into the causes of climate change. In addition, in the international arena, Germany found a way to celebrate sanctions for Russian gas. How do these events shape the future of energy and climate policy?
Poland accelerates energy transformation, investing in wind energy, atom and renewable energy sources. Modernization of the power plant, reduction of CO2 emissions and the growing role of renewable energy are key directions for the development of the sector. Meanwhile, geopolitics still affects Europe's energy security. What consequences do these changes bring and what do they mean for the future of the Polish energy sector?
Polish energy is entering a new era of dynamic investments. The key decisions regarding the Baltica 2 wind farm, plans to build a second nuclear power plant and the development of hydrogen technology show the direction of sector transformation. At the same time, the government introduces new regulations for offshore winds, increases the budget of renewable energy support programs and focuses on innovative solutions in industry. What changes await the Polish energy market and what benefits will these investments bring?
Donald Trump exerts pressure on the European Union regarding oil and gas, putting a commercial ultimatum. Meanwhile, China records the first significant decrease in CO2 emissions, which may mean the beginning of positive climate change. Poland is planning an ambitious investment in a 1.5 GW wind farm in the Baltic Sea, strengthening its potential in the renewable energy sources sector. Follow the latest reports that change the face of global energy.
Polish investments in the energy transformation are gaining momentum. Project Tempo research shows that Poles see the benefits of climate policies and renewable energy sources. So far, over PLN 2.53 billion has been spent on preparations for the construction of a nuclear power plant, and the LNG Terminal in Świnoujście has been expanded. Experts point to the need for further development of renewable energy sources as the key to reducing energy prices.
The first week of 2025 brings key events and controversies to the energy industry. The Prime Minister of Slovakia criticizes Ukraine's actions, pointing to the consequences of suspending gas transit. Meanwhile, the Czech Republic is ahead of Poland in the energy transformation, coping better with nuclear and coal. However, Poland is looking to the future, planning 4,700 km of new transmission lines, which will enable the development of nuclear energy. In the background, we are breaking records: 2024 became the warmest year in history, exceeding the threshold of the Paris Agreement. Details in the article.
One of the key challenges of the energy market is the need to provide qualified staff. Planned investments related to the development of offshore wind energy, as well as the construction of a nuclear power plant, will require the development of new competences and the provision of thousands of specialists.
Pomerania, previously known mainly for tourism and ports, is becoming Poland's new energy center. Intensive investments in infrastructure, offshore wind energy and renewable energy sources (RES) may lead to a situation in which the region produces more energy than it can consume. This overproduction of energy is both an opportunity and a challenge for the Baltic Energy Hub.
The Polish energy industry is on the threshold of revolutionary changes. The current burden of energy production, concentrated in the south of the country, is starting to shift towards the north. It is not just a matter of building offshore wind farms or a nuclear power plant - it is a comprehensive transformation that brings with it a number of infrastructural and organizational challenges.
