Eastern Germany will rejoice. They often have to deal with heavy smog from their neighbors.
And we have rainy and clouded summer this year
I LOVE POLAND 🇵🇱
Good job, Poland!
It’s great!
But I’m often criticizing renewable for other reasons, the problem is winter.
The lack of winter protection means all non renewable capacities have to be kept 100% operational for dark December night. Wind and solar often produce close to 0% nameplate capacity.
Good thing coming from bad things, global warming will make winters much milder decreasing load and A/C that will soon be needed to survive summer high heat is perfect fit for solar.
Poland is awsome
Long way still to go but it’s good to hear. With our climate (no wind and no sun in the winter) we need nuclear to finally ditch the coal. Sadly it’s at least 10 years away if not more.
The worst part is that we already had a NPP that was ~50% built but it was stopped in the 90s as “too expensive” and not needed. The people who did it should rot in hell.
Seriously coal should be zero in all of europe. Look at Germany for example, 26% in 2024 (electricy from coal) its a joke. Build more nuclear, wind and solar.
Let’s meet again this winter, please
Yes that is called “summer” then the winter came and the charcoal plants go brrrr
By an odd and completely unrelated coincidence, Poland’s energy prices were also by far the highest in history recently. But at least we have a nice looking chart as a consolation, while our industry is closing down due to high energy prices!
AFAIK Poland has made this transition solely based on energy security and cost arguments. Politicians there are not eager at all to use climate change as the main argument to transition into renewables. Russia, in some crooked and minor ways, has been a good influence on Europe.
Nice to see coal trending downwards so aggressively. Poland has some of the largest and dirtiest coal powerplants on the world.
That said, it’s easy for renewalables to be productive in the summer. But it’s the Winter where things really matter.
Wow thats good, now we need energy storages for winter.
