Forum Energii published the latest data on the electricity sector in November 2025.
- The performance of gas units in November was the highest in history. According to estimates by Forum Energii, they produced 2.8 TWh of electricity, which translates into 18.4% of the energy mix.
- Coal-fired power plants once again took the dominant position in the energy mix, producing 8.7 TWh, which accounts for 57.5%. This represents an increase of 12.4% m/m, with a simultaneous decrease of 4.3% y/y. Of this, 5.8 TWh was produced from hard coal (an increase of 14.5% m/m) and 2.8 TWh from lignite (an increase of 8.2% m/m).
- Wind farms produced 1.8 TWh of electricity, which translates into a decrease of as much as 40.7% compared to the record October and 22.8% compared to November 2024. On the other hand, despite a seasonal decline in production, photovoltaic installations produced 0.7 TWh of electricity, almost twice as much as in November 2024.
- The total share of RES in electricity production did not exceed 50% at any point in November. This is due, on the one hand, to poor weather conditions and, on the other, to the slow increase in capacity at wind farms, which should replace photovoltaics as the main renewable energy source during the winter.
- Emissions allowance prices rose by 3.4% and exceeded EUR 80/tCO2. The last time such high values were recorded was in October 2023.
- Gas prices at Henry Hub in the US rose by as much as 30.6% month-on-month, reaching their highest level since the beginning of 2023. This index is the basis for determining the prices of LNG delivered to the terminal in Świnoujście. Additional costs, including those related to transport, must be added to this price.
