How much solar power does Poland have?

The total solar photovoltaics (PV) grid-connected capacity in Poland was 17,057.1 MW as of 31 December 2023, comprising almost 59.27% of the country's total installed renewable energy capacity. Growth has been strong; projections anticipate national PV capacity more than doubling from 2022 (12 GW) to 2025 (26 GW).

How much solar power will Poland have in 2022?

Poland's cumulative installed PV capacity hit 12.4 GW at the end of 2022, according to data from the IEO. Its installed solar capacity could more than double to 26,791 MW by the end of 2025. IEO's latest report suggests that this year, the nation will add approximately 5,981 MW, followed by 4,392 MW in 2024 and 3,996 MW in 2025.

How big is Poland's solar market?

Poland’s installed solar capacity surged to over 17 GW in 2023, making it the fourth-largest solar market in the European Union with over 1.3 million micro solar installations contributing to the energy mix.

How much PV capacity did Poland add in 2023?

Poland added around 4.6 GW of new PV capacity in 2023, according to new data from research institute IEO. Poland's cumulative installed PV capacity hit 17.05 GW at the end of 2023, according to a new report from Instytut Energetyki Odnawialnej (IEO).

Does Poland have a coal-heavy power system?

Under BNEF’s LPS, Poland’s coal-heavy power system has high generation costs, but shifts toward more cost-efficient technologies over time. By 2040, the power system is dominated by 37GW onshore wind and 83GW solar. This scenario sees annual PV additions of 2-4GW per year, of which roughly half is rooftop solar.

How many solar communities are in Poland?

As a result, although Poland’s solar capacity has more than doubled in the last three years, only 30 of the EU’s 9,000 energy communities are located in Poland .
