English Definition

The capacity to do work; in policy context, the sources of power for industry and society. Poland's energy system is dominated by coal (70% of electricity), making it the EU's most coal-dependent country. Poland is under EU pressure to phase out coal by 2030–2049. Poland is investing in nuclear energy (first plant planned for 2033), offshore wind, and solar. Energy transition is Poland's greatest economic and political challenge.
