While global stock markets tremble from sharp rises in oil prices, Poland is consistently implementing successive stages of its energy transformation. In today's post, we summarise the key steps towards independence: from record results for Polish renewables and progress in the Baltic Sea, to the green light for Polish nuclear power, and strategic alliances for security.

Poland is increasing its gas extraction and introducing new network law, supporting infrastructure modernisation and RES management. While the Ministry of Climate is summarising the deposit refund system, and global markets are monitoring shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, energy supplies for key national facilities, including PGE National Stadium, have been secured.

Instability in the Middle East and the echoes of US-Iranian negotiations clearly show why energy security must be an absolute priority today. The national response includes concrete investments: from further steps in the nuclear project and ministerial plans for energy storage, to a massive cash injection from the KPO for grid operators. This system will soon gain powerful logistical and defence backing thanks to a new US investment on the Gdańsk coast.

Poland has reached a pivotal moment in its economic history. As our country enters the top twenty largest economies in the world, it needs ambitious plans to maintain its pace of development. The PFR Strategy responds to global trends and challenges, as well as the local needs of the Polish economy.

The company Makita, a global leader in the production of professional tool systems, has partnered with the key category „Network Masters” during the first edition of the Polish Power Engineers Championships – Power Games. The event is taking place as part of the PowerConnect 2026 trade fair at AMBEREXPO.

Europe is undergoing a radical energy transformation, with atomic power once again becoming a key pillar – from the new European Union strategy to the construction of a Polish nuclear power plant. Simultaneously, we are observing a real boom in electric cars on the domestic automotive market, driven by increasing imports and the expansion of Asian brands. However, these positive technological trends are clashing with price pressure and global tensions, which are prompting countries like Hungary to reiterate calls for the lifting of sanctions on Russian raw materials.

Poland is entering a crucial phase of transformation, where renewables now constitute the majority of our installed capacity for the first time in history, and electricity from Baltic wind farms will soon flow into the grid. Parallel, multi-billion investments in Jaworzno's electromobility and Canada's plans to build a second nuclear power plant prove that the government's announced major investment offensive is indeed becoming a reality.

This year's winter has proven that the Polish grid needs new, stable energy sources to cope with record consumption on cold days. A breakthrough is the first loan from the USA for Polish nuclear power and the construction of a specialised pier in Gdynia, which will enable the transport of components for power plants. At the same time, PSE is presenting its grid development vision until 2036, which includes the construction of thousands of kilometres of lines connecting the northern energy hub with the rest of the country.

While Donald Trump in Davos is undermining the sense of the energy transition, Europe is accelerating its offshore plans in the North Sea, and a novel „bulk renting” is being introduced for the construction of Polish nuclear power. Domestically, it is also worth noting the changes in the PGE Group, which is completing an important unbundling process and introducing a new invoicing system for customers.
