Polish grid had 109 percent more electricity in 2022

The Polish energy watchdog has reported that the electrical grid had 109 percent more electricity in 2022 due to the micro-power generation, most of which consists of solar panels.

According to the Energy Regulatory Office URE, such installations contributed 5.8 TWh of energy to the grid in 2022, compared to 2.7 TWh in 2021.

More than 1.2 million micro-installations were connected to the grid at the end of 2022, with the total installed capacity exceeding 9.3 GW, of which 99 percent were photovoltaic installations.

The URE said that 96 percent of the installed capacity is made by prosumer installations, which consume and produce electricity.

In our latest report, URE President Rafal Gawin said that the power generation from green micro-sources has been growing at a tremendous pace in the last few years. The urgent adaptation of the grid infrastructure is required to introduce such capacity to the electrical grid.
