Key insights:
- On July 10, the first electricity from Polish offshore wind turbines was fed into the grid. The offshore wind farm is not yet operating at full capacity, so by the end of the month it had generated just 0.02 TWh of electricity (enough to cover the annual demand of 10,000 households). Energy from offshore turbines supplements onshore wind farms, which generated 2.1 TWh of electricity in July (an increase of 84.4% m/m and 48.0% y/y).
- Renewable energy sources generated 6.0 TWh of electricity in July, accounting for 41.6% of the national energy mix. This represents a 14.0% increase in production month-over-month and a 24.5% increase compared to July 2025. It is the second-highest renewable energy production figure on record.
- Non-market curtailment of renewable energy sources since the beginning of the year has already exceeded the total for all of 2025. As of the end of July, cumulative curtailments totaled 1,425 GWh, which is 61% more than during the same period in 2025. In July alone, they amounted to 252 GWh.
- Electricity generation from coal totaled 6.6 TWh (down 7.3% m/m and 2.0% y/y), accounting for 46.3% of the energy mix. Of this, hard coal accounted for 4.1 TWh (down 8.0% m/m and up 8.8% y/y), and lignite for 2.5 TWh (down 6.3% m/m and 15.8% y/y).
- Natural gas prices on the Polish and European markets reached their highest levels since February 2023. Natural gas on the Polish Power Exchange averaged 245 PLN/MWh (up 22.5% m/m), while on the European TTF exchange it averaged 234 PLN/MWh (up 21.5% m/m).
