Poland's energy strategy through 2040 (PEP 2040), which establishes the foundation for the nation's energy transformation, has been adopted by the Polish government. It is the first energy-related strategic document to be adopted in Poland in 12 years. It offers suggestions for achieving EU climate and energy targets, such as building offshore wind capacity or starting the nation's first nuclear power plant in 2033.
A just and inclusive energy transition toward an emissions-free system built on innovation, sustainable economic growth, enhanced efficiency, and competitiveness is at the core of PEP2040. The improved air quality, which addresses a significant issue across the nation, is the final important factor. The following metrics should be used to gauge progress toward these objectives in the 2030 perspective: (I) a maximum 56% share of coal-fired power generation (with a conservatively estimated exit date of 2049); (II) a minimum 23% share of renewable electricity in final consumption (32% in power generation, 14% in transport); (III) the addition of nuclear power generation by 2033; (IV) a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 30% (compared to 1990 levels); and (V)
The eight comprehensive action plans that comprise these strategic goals list several actions that are designated as strategic projects.
