Power grid of 400/220/110 kV power lines in 2022. The Polish energy sector is the fifth largest in Europe. [1] By the end of 2023, the installed generation capacity had reached 55.216 GW, [2] while electricity consumption for that year was 167.52 TWh and generation was 163.63 TWh, [3] with 26% of this coming from renewables.
The German government decided to phase-out nuclear power by end of 2022, however this has been delayed until April 2023 due to supply disruption caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, [8] meaning that future growth in renewables will be needed to fill the gap again. Germany also plans to phase out coal by 2038 or earlier. [9]
