Poland added more rooftop solar capacity per capita than any other EU member state in 2024. The prosumer model — where households both generate and consume electricity — has been the primary driver, supported by net-billing compensation and the My Electricity (Mój Prąd) subsidy programme.
As of early 2026, over 1.5 million prosumer installations are registered in the national grid operator's database. Average system size has grown from 5 kWp in 2020 to approximately 8 kWp today, reflecting both falling panel costs and increased household energy demand.
Poland's Baltic Sea coastline offers substantial offshore wind potential. The government has allocated three development zones with a combined target of 11 GW by 2040. Phase I contracts — covering approximately 5.9 GW — were awarded in 2023, with first turbines expected operational by 2028.
Onshore wind remains constrained by the 10H setback rule, which requires turbines to be located at least ten times their height from residential buildings. Legislative amendments proposed in late 2025 would reduce this to 500 metres with municipal consent, potentially unlocking 4–6 GW of additional onshore capacity.
