In 2025, Poland’s energy mix continued a major transition, with coal dropping below 50% for the first time in some months, while renewable energy sources (RES)—led by rapid solar growth—and natural gas increased their shares. Despite this shift, coal still powered approximately 51-53% of electricity, making it the highest in the EU, alongside growing, yet still moderate, wind and solar capacity.

Poland is rapidly accelerating its green hydrogen sector to meet EU mandates, aiming for at least 180 kilotons of renewable hydrogen in industry by 2030, necessitating over
of electrolysis capacity. While currently the third-largest hydrogen producer in Europe (mostly gray), Poland is investing in electrolysis projects, hydrogen valleys, and importing green hydrogen from Finland.

Key challenges include high production costs, the need for10 TWh of renewable electricity, and, as of late 2025, some projects being written off due to funding gaps.

As of February 2026, there is no information indicating that Poland is producing green hydrogen from electrolysis of seawater.
