Green
Transition in Poland – Meet the Polish Minister of Climate

Join this webinar and meet the Minister of
Climate of Poland, Mr. Michał Kurtyka and other key experts from Poland. The
webinar offers an overview and update of the dynamic green transition in Poland
and the strong market opportunities for Danish companies, as well as an
opportunity to engage in a direct discussion with Polish Climate Minister Mr.
Michał Kurtyka and other high level experts within wind energy, district energy
and funding.

The aim of
the webinar is to show the potential for Danish-Polish cooperation, taking a
starting point with green transition. The Polish Climate Minister Michał
Kurtyka will give his perspective on the climate and energy policy, also in the
context of EU 2030 goals. 

Then we will
look at green investments in Poland and funding programs that support many
projects implemented in the country. Last, but not least you will get a closer
look at the wind energy and district heating sectors and possibility to ask questions
via the chat function.  

The
transformation of the Polish energy sector is one of the most ambitious
processes in the European Union. High dependence on coal is a reality in the
Polish energy mix today and deep structural changes related to the reduction of
emissions in the energy sector are needed.  

Last year
Poland held the largest European onshore wind auction ever with a total volume
of 2.2 GW. This year the plan is to auction 800 MW, for wind power only.
Current installed capacity, with regards to onshore wind is more than 6 GW, and
Poland has an ambition to build up to 11 GW of offshore wind within the next
two decades. 

The solar
energy sector since 2017 is growing by over 170% per year and the government
plans to tender 3.2 GW of solar by the end of next year. By 2040 Poland is
expected to have 20 GW of solar power. Similar dynamics can be observed in
energy efficiency, district heating and bioenergy sectors.
