Between 2021 and 2030, the cost of energy generation will increase by 61%, if Poland actually follows the scenario of the government s Energy Policy of Poland until 2040 (PEP2040). An alternative scenario developed by Instrat could reduce costs by 31-50 percent compared to PEP2040. Increasing the ambition for RES development in Poland is in the interest of every household and business. Otherwise, it will lead to a drastic increase in electricity prices,
says Adrianna Wrona, co-author of the report.
In December 2020, EU member states agreed to increase national targets for the share of RES in the economy and align them with the updated target of reducing emissions by 55 percent by 2030 (relative to 1990). Ahead of the Fit for 55 negotiations, Poland appears to be setting itself on a collision course by proposing a RES target in PEP2040 - almost half the expected EU average.
