Poland

Poland generated 27% of its electricity from clean sources, below the global average of 39%.

In 2023, Poland generated nearly three-quarters (73%) of its electricity from fossil fuels, falling from 79% in 2022, with 61% of its electricity generated by coal. Its per capita power sector emissions were above the global average.

Wind and solar produced a record 21% of the Polish electricity mix in 2023 and in June they covered 66% of domestic power demand in certain peak hours. 

Poland aims for 53% renewable electricity by 2030. However, Ember’s analysis found 60-70% is feasible in the same timeline, while the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions scenario sets out a global target of 60% renewable electricity by 2030.
