Domestic electricity production declined by 4%, consumption by nearly 1% (169.4 TWh of electricity) compared to the record-breaking 2018. The most recent draft of the Polish Energy Policy until 2040 and Poland’s National Energy and Climate Plan for the years 2021-2030 assume an increase of electricity demand in their models. Lower demand, higher imports and growing use of other fuels were most strongly felt by coal-fired power plants - coal-fired supplied 5% less electricity and lignite-fired 15% less compared to 2018.

 

Poland's wholesale electricity market is one of the most expensive in Europe. Countries with a greater contribution of renewable sources and nuclear power plants are offering more favorable prices, so domestic producers are becoming less competitive.
