Instability of Renewable Energy Sources: A Challenge for the Polish Energy Market

In the last decade, Poland has built thousands of wind and solar power plants with a total capacity of over 24 GW. Unfortunately, renewable energy sources are characterized by high instability due to the seasonality of winds, sunlight mainly in summer and only during daylight hours, and periodic droughts causing a decrease in river water levels.

Gravitational Energy Storage: An Innovative Solution

A potential solution could be gravitational energy storage systems, which are set to revolutionize the renewable energy market. Gravitational energy storages work similarly to pumped-storage hydroelectric stations. Water is replaced by steel blocks that are lifted by reversible electric motors through a system of steel cables and pulleys. The main advantage of such storages is the constant, invariably high efficiency of the installation and the possibility of recycling at a level of over 99.9%.

Balancing Demand: The Role of Energy Storage

Energy storages are not just a way to balance the demand for electricity, but also a tool for stabilizing energy grids. During periods of overproduction, when demand is low, excess energy can be stored in these storages. When energy demand increases, energy storages can deliver power to the grid, helping to stabilize voltage and frequency.

Impact of Energy Storages on the Stability of Power Grids

Energy storages can even out fluctuations in electricity production and demand, which is particularly important for renewable energy sources known for their high instability.

Towards a Zero-Emission Direction: Energy Storage as a Key to Success

Thanks to energy storages, it is possible to increase connection capacities at low costs for expanding the power grid. This creates conditions for a smooth transition towards a zero-emission economy by increasing the share of renewable energy in the energy mix, consequently phasing out production in conventional power plants. This, in turn, should significantly reduce and stabilize energy prices in the country. The conclusion is clear: energy storages are a key element in the renewable energy revolution.

Energy That Blows: The Potential of Wind Farms in Poland

Posted on by tomasz

Wind is one of the cleanest and cheapest sources of renewable energy (RES). In Poland, where more than 70% of electricity comes from coal, the development of wind farms can be a key step towards a green transition and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Wind farms are clusters of wind turbines that harness the power of the wind to generate electricity. How big is the wind energy potential in Poland and what are the benefits of building wind farms? 

According to a report by the Polish Wind Energy Association (PWEA), Poland has the potential to install more than 50 GW of onshore and offshore wind capacity by 2050. This means that wind could cover more than 40% of the country’s electricity needs. Currently, Poland has around 6 GW of onshore wind capacity and plans to build another 11 GW offshore by 2030. This makes Poland one of the leaders in the region in terms of wind energy development. 

The construction of wind farms has many benefits for the economy, the environment and society. Firstly, wind farms are a source of cheap and stable energy that does not depend on fossil fuel prices. According to PWEA, the cost of generating energy from wind onshore is around 200 PLN/MWh and offshore around 300 PLN/MWh, while the cost of energy from coal is around 350 PLN/MWh. Secondly, wind farms contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions and other pollutants that have a negative impact on human health and climate. According to PWEA, onshore wind farms avoided more than 14 million tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2019, equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 7 million passenger cars. Thirdly, wind farms create new jobs and income for local communities. According to PWEA, the wind energy sector employed more than 12,000 people in 2019 and could create more than 77,000 new jobs by 2030. In addition, wind farms pay local taxes and fees, which can be used for infrastructure development, education, culture and environmental protection. 

Wind farms are therefore an important part of Poland’s RES build-up, which aims to increase the share of renewable energy to 23% by 2030 and to 50% by 2050. To achieve this, however, appropriate policy and regulation is needed to support investment and public acceptance of wind farms. Some of the challenges faced by the industry are legal restrictions, bureaucracy, public resistance and lack of grid infrastructure. Therefore, dialogue and cooperation between all stakeholders, including government, local authorities, investors, operators, NGOs and residents, is necessary. Only in this way can the full potential of wind energy be realised.

According to a PwC report, the global Climate Tech market has grown from $418 billion in 2013 to over $600 billion in 2019, with an annual growth rate of 13%. 

Climate Tech has the potential to not only reduce negative environmental impacts, but also create new economic and social opportunities. For example, according to the International Energy Agency, the transition to clean energy could create more than 40 million jobs by 2050. In addition, Climate Tech can help improve people’s quality of life by providing clean air, water, food and health. 

Climate Tech is not only a technical issue, but also a cultural and social one. To achieve the full potential of Climate Tech, there needs to be collaboration across sectors, regions and countries, as well as community and consumer engagement. Climate Tech is not only a way to fight climate change, but also an opportunity to create a better world for us and future generations.
