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.
