In 2020, Poland\u2019s share of electricity generated from coal dropped below 70% for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>The merger of coal assets into a single entity is designed to give three state-owned energy companies \u2013 PGE, Enea and Tauron \u2013 fiscal space to develop clean energy sources.<\/p>\n<p>Jacek Sasin, Poland\u2019s deputy prime minister and minister of state assets, said banks were becoming reluctant to finance companies with carbon-intensive assets in their portfolio. He added pollution allowances required by the European Union to burn coal had become more expensive than the coal itself.<\/p>\n<p>Sasin said the EU\u2019s climate policy and goal to cut emissions at least 55% by 2030, compared with 1990, had created \u201ca huge challenge for the Polish power sector\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Poland\u2019s council of ministers are expected to discuss the proposal before a broad social and inter-ministerial consultation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/subscribe\/\"><strong>Stay in the know:<\/strong>\u00a0Subscribe to our Climate Daily newsletter<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Aleksandra Gawlikowska-Fyk, an analyst at Forum Energii, told Climate Home News that the proposal was \u201ca step in the right direction\u201d if it enables energy companies to invest in clean energy.<\/p>\n<p>But the plan lacks critical details about the need for a coal phase-out, she said, leaving out all climate considerations.<\/p>\n<p>Pawel Czy\u017cak, head of energy and climate research at the Warsaw-based Instrat Foundation, told Climate Home that without a coal exit date for energy generation, taxpayers\u2019 money could be used to \u201crun these plants forever\u201d, a prospect he described as \u201cworrying\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government is completely neglecting the climate angle. Its energy strategy and plans are still incompatible with the EU\u2019s climate policy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal would require approval from the European Commission under the union&#8217;s state aid rules.<\/p>\n<p>Czy\u017cak said this was a critical moment for Brussels to force Warsaw to agree a coal exit date. An outright refusal of the plan could be used by Poland to blame the EU for rising electricity prices, he warned.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2021\/04\/19\/bidens-moment-expect-thursdays-climate-leaders-summit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Biden\u2019s moment:<\/strong> What to expect from Thursday\u2019s climate leaders summit<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At the same time, the Polish government is seeking approval from the Commission for providing state aid to its coal mining sector, with an agreement between the government and mining unions tipped to be finalised this week.<\/p>\n<p>The government has previously agreed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/09\/25\/poland-agrees-coal-mining-phase-unions-2049\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">continue to subsidise coal production<\/a>\u00a0until 2049 \u2013 an exit date <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/09\/25\/poland-agrees-coal-mining-phase-unions-2049\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">campaigners and experts say is far too late<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government will be fighting on two fronts and I believe it will be impossible to get approval for both from the Commission. It will be no nice Sunday talk,\u201d Robert Tomaszewski, a senior energy analyst at Warsaw-based think tank Polityka Insight, told Climate Home.<\/p>\n<p>Tomaszewski said Brussels was unlikely to green light Poland\u2019s restructuring proposal for coal plants without a date to shut down old and inefficient plants.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2021\/04\/16\/pakistan-explores-debt-nature-scheme-accelerate-10-billion-tree-tsunami\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Pakistan<\/strong> explores debt-for-nature scheme to accelerate its 10 billion tree tsunami<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Under current rules, old coal plants in Poland are eligible for support under an energy capacity agreement approved by the European Commission. But the arrangement is coming to an end on 1 July 2025, when most existing plants will loose critical funding.<\/p>\n<p>Without it, old and inefficient plants are anticipated to run at high losses. Around half of Poland\u2019s coal fleet were <a href=\"http:\/\/czyzak.net\/polands-final-battle-for-coal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">operating with negative margins in 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInevitably, NABE will have to close them down,\u201d Tomaszewski said \u2013 a sudden shut down which will force investments in alternative energy sources to plug a looming capacity gap in the power system.<\/p>\n<p>In February, the government approved a plan that aims to reduce coal\u2019s share in the power mix <a href=\"https:\/\/ieefa.org\/new-polish-energy-plan-to-cut-coal-generation-boost-renewables\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">to 56% by 2030<\/a> through deployment of offshore wind and onshore wind and solar energy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/instrat.pl\/en\/coal-phase-out\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Recent analysis by the Instrat Foundation<\/a> found that the share of coal-generated electricity in Poland could decrease from the current 70% to just 13% in 2030, without compromising the country\u2019s energy security.<\/p>\n<p>Under this scenario, 76% of the electricity demand could be generated by renewable energy sources by 2030 and burning coal in power plants would end in 2035.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warsaw&#8217;s
