The energy transformation in Poland has entered a new phase, as confirmed by data published at the beginning of 2026 in European industry reports. The year 2025 marked the first time in history that wind and solar energy in the European Union surpassed electricity production from fossil fuels.
According to the report:
– wind and photovoltaics accounted for approx. 30% of electricity production in the EU in 2025,
– fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) – for approx. 29%,
– in 14 out of 27 EU countries, RES produced more energy than all fossil fuels combined.
These data are also confirmed by national analyses. Reports from Forum Energii indicate that the share of coal in the Polish energy mix in 2025 fell to its lowest historical level, and energy from wind and photovoltaics exceeded 25% of domestic production.
At the same time, other studies indicate that the growth rate of RES in Poland is beginning to stabilize, and the energy system is increasingly operating under conditions of high production variability – particularly visible on a daily and seasonal basis.
Technius Commentary
These data clearly show that the energy transformation is no longer a future scenario, but a fact confirmed by reports and numbers. For industrial consumers, however, something else is crucial: the growing share of RES means increasing variability in system operation.
In practice, this translates to:
– a larger amplitude of energy prices during the day,
– more frequent power peaks,
– growing importance of consumption profile management.
At this stage, simply installing RES is no longer sufficient. Companies that want to maintain cost predictability need energy storage and EMS systems that allow them to react actively to market and grid conditions. The transformation of sources has already happened. Now, the stage of ordering and optimizing on the energy consumer side is underway.
From the perspective of industrial consumers, the energy transformation in Poland means the necessity of transitioning from passive energy consumption to active management of its use, costs, and availability.
If you want to check how real changes in the energy mix affect energy costs in your company,
schedule a technical and economic analysis and compare scenarios with energy storage and an EMS system.
This is precisely the moment when energy management decisions begin to have the greatest business significance.
