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.
We are pleased to announce that the XYZ portal has joined PowerConnect's media partners – thank you for your trust. XYZ is a new, independent economic news outlet, but it doesn't focus solely on this area. It also covers everything important in new technologies, politics, sport, and culture, exploring topics beyond the scope of Polish media. For XYZ, content quality is paramount. […]
We're entering the new year with key changes in connection regulations and ambitious plans for the development of energy storage and the offshore sector, which will dominate the investment landscape in 2026. From securing a budget for Polish nuclear power, through the development of heating networks, to a revolution in American climate policy – we're examining the trends that will shape the energy market in the coming months.
From Korea's atomic and Enea's gas giants, to the harsh realities of the biomethane market – the sector is undergoing a test of investment maturity. Check out our review of key events that will determine whether the transformation will be a stable march or a risky leap into the deep end.
Polish energy giants are testing innovative renewable energy solutions, and the market is bracing for a historic moment when electric vehicles will dominate sales in Europe. Simultaneously, a debate on gas policy is ongoing in the country, with URE opposing preferential treatment for power plants.
New multi-billion pound investments in nuclear energy, offshore wind farms and waste infrastructure are gaining momentum, with political decisions set to protect Poles from rising energy prices. The Polish economy is entering a phase of transformation that could create thousands of jobs and strengthen the country's energy security.
The Bay of Gdańsk is becoming the epicentre of Polish energy transformation – work has begun on the FSRU terminal, and Baltic Power is intensifying the installation of offshore wind turbines. In the Tricity area, production of components for the Baltic 2 farm has commenced, while Gdańsk University of Technology is preparing specialists for the dynamically developing offshore sector. These parallel investments demonstrate how Poland is building modern energy infrastructure based on diverse sources of clean energy.
Orlen is installing Europe’s largest offshore wind turbines, and investment in solar power has exceeded PLN 12 billion. At the same time, Brussels has announced CO₂ emission reduction targets and relief measures for industry, whilst the government has put key changes to gas storage on hold. In the background, the modernisation of port infrastructure is underway, aimed at supporting raw materials logistics and agro-energy.
Poland's offshore energy sector is entering a new phase of development – the construction of the Baltic II and III wind farms has begun. This investment strengthens Poland's position in the region and aligns with the broader trend of energy transformation. The Sejm, by amending the so-called "wind farm act", has decided to extend the energy price freeze until the end of 2025. A stable regulatory environment favours further investments in the offshore sector.
May brought record results to the energy market, and E.ON launched its first biogas plant in Poland. Despite a clear acceleration of the energy transition, the offshore sector continues to struggle with administrative barriers. Experts are appealing to the Prime Minister for urgent simplification of procedures before bureaucracy halts further investments.
