Poland – Tauron urges pragmatic path on energy transition

According to European Commission estimates, annual EU energy system investment must reach around €565 billion between 2021 and 2030 to meet Fit for 55 and REPowerEU objectives, more than double the level seen in the previous decade.

Recent EU electricity market reforms, including amendments to Regulation 2019/943, recognise capacity mechanisms such as Poland’s capacity market as permanent elements of the electricity system rather than temporary measures, and allow member states to implement national flexibility support mechanisms to reinforce security of supply.

Tauron has secured approximately PLN 15 billion (€3.5 billion) in loans under Poland’s National Recovery Plan to support energy transition investments, primarily in electricity distribution networks.

14 billion Euro investment through 2035

Under its 2025–2035 strategy, the company plans to invest PLN 60 billion (about €14.0 billion) in modernising and expanding the grid, and aims to increase its renewable energy capacity to 2.7 GW by 2030 and 4.7 GW by 2035.

Although Tauron’s post dates from 27 November 2025, developments in energy flexibility and system security continue, and ongoing reporting tracks these trends. (mg)
