Wind power in Poland

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 7 min

Karścino Wind Farm

Wind power is a growing source of electricity in Poland. In 2019, wind was the second most important source of electricity produced in Poland, after coal, accounting for about 10% of the electricity production.[1]

History

[edit]

From 2012 to 2014 the Nowy Tomyśl Wind Turbines were the tallest wind turbines in the world with a pinnacle height of 210 metres (690 ft). They are still the tallest wind turbines installed on lattice towers.

In May 2018 state-owned PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna decided to invest in offshore wind power pending delayed negotiations on building nuclear power plants in Poland. They aim to build 2.5 GW by 2030.[2]

The total wind power grid-connected capacity in Poland was 9,428.3 MW as of 31 December 2023.[3][4] In September 2020, the government announced a 130 billion zloty (£26.5 billion) plan to invest in offshore wind.[5] According to Poland's Supreme Audit Office, the Polish areas of the Baltic Sea could generate up to 28 GW in offshore wind power.[6] The Polish government's energy development plan aims for an installation of 5.9GW of offshore wind power by 2030 and 11GW by 2040.[6] A 1.5 GW offshore wind farm is currently being built near Słupsk.[7]

*Provisional estimate

As of the end of 2015, total installed capacity was 5.1 gigawatts (GW),[12] which provided 10,858 gigawatt-hours (GW·h)[12] — around 6.22% of the electricity consumed in the country.[19] By year end 2016 total installed capacity had risen to 5,782 MW.[12]

Energy production sources are also registered by the state Energy Regulatory Office (URE).[20][21]
