In 2020, nuclear power plants (almost 25%) and gas-fired power plants (21%) had the largest shares in electricity generation in the EU.
Wind turbines (14%), hydroelectric power plants (13%), and biofuels (6%) had the highest shares among renewable energy sources in the EU, while solar energy had the lowest share (5%).
Renewable energy sources contributed a total of 18.4% of the energy, with wind energy accounting for the highest share at 10% of the total production.
Photovoltaic energy played a minor role, contributing only 1.2% to the total production, despite nearly doubling in production in 2020.
The structure of electricity production in Poland at the end of 2020 was unfavorable for net-zero transitions, as over 70% of the energy was derived from coal.
When considering the sources of heating in households across the European Union, Poles predominantly rely on hard coal and other solid fuels. On average, coal accounted for only 2.5% of final energy consumption in the households in EU countries. However, this figure is elevated in four countries: Poland (24.6%), Ireland (11.6%), the Czech Republic (8.9%), and Bulgaria (4.2%).
According to the Ministry of Climate and Environment, hard coal is the primary source of energy for 3.8 million out of 15 million households in Poland.
Poland’s share of total greenhouse gas emissions in the EU was 12.6% in 2021, higher than the previous year (11%).
This placed Poland in second place, nearly tied with Italy and France, which had similar shares (around 11%).
Poland accounts for 87% of the coal burned in households in the EU, specifically in the small consumer sector.
In 2017, emissions related to buildings—mainly their heating and air-conditioning processes—accounted for 11% of Poland’s emissions (46 MtCO2 e). 84% came from the residential sector and 16% from the commercial sector.
Poland does not presently have a nuclear power plant.
Wind energy covered an average of 16% of the continent’s electricity needs.
