Poland to have 14.5 GW of solar PV installations by 2030

• Poland is expected to have around 14.5 GW of solar PV setups by the end of 2030.

Poland's reward procedures-- such as the My Electricity program-- will lead to solar contributing more than 20 percent in the nation's capacity mix, according to GlobalData.

Mohit Prasad, project supervisor at GlobalData, stated: "Poland's advancing solar PV installments-- 3.9 GW as of 1 Jan 2021-- represents a substantial threefold jump from a year ago."

Poland's advancing solar PV installations amounted to 562MW (1.2 percent of the ability mix) while coal-fired ability was 31.7 GW (around 70 percent of the ability mix). The payment of solar PV to the ability mix has actually increased to 8.1 percent at the end of 2020.

Poland has actually observed two successive years of completely dry weather condition (2018 and also 2019), complied with by a warm winter months in 2019/2020 and also an extremely completely dry spring in 2020. This caused a severe dry spell, which is bad news for a country that produces the majority of its electricity via coal-fired plants, some of which use river water for air conditioning.

The My Electricity program was the federal government's response to shift emphasis towards different sources of power. The aid covers to 50 percent of the setup prices of structure solar PV plants ranging from 2kW to 10kW and up to PLN5,000.
