Poland

Poland’s first auction for offshore wind capacity ended recently, ushering the eastern European nation into a new phase of energy transition.

Despite a challenging investment climate, Poland seems to be on the way to reach its 2030 target of 5.9 GW offshore wind capacity by 2030. But will the electricity reach the regions where it’s needed the most?

Poland’s Gdańsk LNG — the country’s second LNG import terminal — looks on track for completion in 2028, but opinions are divided as to what extent it is needed in the long-term as Polish gas demand is expected to peak in around 2030.
