Overview
Poland's renewable energy stood at 15.20% in 2021, a decline of +0.90% from 2020. Poland ranked 121st globally.
Poland's renewable energy development has shown a steady upward trend over the past three decades, with a notable increase in the 2010s that culminated in a peak of 16.10% of the country's total energy production in 2020. However, this growth has been somewhat reversed in recent years, with the latest available data from 2021 indicating a slight decline to 15.20%. Despite this, Poland still ranks higher than many of its European peers, including Hungary, which achieved a similar rate of 15.30% in 2021. In comparison to the global average, Poland's renewable energy share remains modest, ranking 121st among all countries. The country's renewable energy development has been influenced by policy decisions, including the EU's Renewable Energy Directive, which has driven investment in solar and wind energy. A continued commitment to environmental policies and technological advancements could further accelerate Poland's renewable energy growth and potentially alter its trajectory.
