The EU statistical agency Eurostat provided data on the share of green energy in the energy mixes of European Union countries for 2019. At the level of 28 European Union countries, last year the average share of green energy in electricity, heating and transport amounted to 18.9% compared to the 20% target for 2020. Ignoring Great Britain, which has recently left the European community, the average share of renewable energy increases to 19.7%.

In addition to the RES target at the EU level, the 2009 Renewable Energy Directive also set obligatory targets for 2020 that must be met by individual countries. Poland received a target of 15%. Right after joining the European Union, the share of renewable energy in Poland’s energy mix was around 6.9%. Until last year, Poland managed to increase it to 12.2%. In 2019, however, we still lack a lot to achieve the 15% target for 2020.

The share of renewable energy in the energy mix (Poland)
2019 12.2%
2018 11.5%
2017 11.1%

The EU leaders in this respect are: Sweden with the share of renewable energy in electricity, heating and transport at 56.4%, as well as Finland (43.1%), Latvia (41%), Denmark (37.2%) and Austria (33.6%). In turn, the lowest share of green energy in 2019 was shown by Luxembourg (7%), Malta (8.5%), the Netherlands (8.8%) and Belgium (9.9%).

This year, Poland should meet the target of the share of renewable energy sources in electricity, heating and transport at the d level of 15%. Paradoxically, in addition to further investments in renewable energy (mainly photovoltaics), lower energy consumption due to the coronavirus crisis may also contribute to this. Even so, it will be hard to make up for the missing 2.8 percentage points. In the National Plan for Energy and Climate, the Polish government indicated that by 2030 our intention would be to achieve the share of renewable energy at the level of 21%, and the target for 2030 could be increased to 23% if we were given the appropriate funds. However, receiving them is unlikely, and the expectations of the European Union are even higher than 23%.

The EU has recently started preparations to revise its 2030 RES targets to align it with the European Union's new higher target for reducing carbon emissions from 1990 to 2030. A reduction target of 40% was originally agreed, but the last EU summit decided to raise it to 55%.

Further investments and their implementation in the field of photovoltaics, offshore, as well as the development of biogas and hydrogen fuel, are planned for the coming years in Poland.
