Pomerania identified as key Polish economic driver in new energy report

A new report titled ‘W stronę morza. Potencjał gospodarczy północnych regionów Polski’ (Towards the sea. Economic potential of northern Polish regions) was presented in Sopot. Prepared by Polityka Insight in partnership with Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe, the document identifies the Pomerania region as a critical driver for Poland’s economic development.

The report highlights a strategic shift toward the Baltic Sea, driven by massive investments in nuclear energy, offshore wind, ports, and gas infrastructure. Marek Woszczyk, CEO of Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe, stated that the construction of the first nuclear power plant, Lubiatowo-Kopalino, will serve as a pillar for this economic transformation. Currently, the Pomeranian and West Pomeranian voivodeships account for 9.5 percent of Poland’s national GDP, a figure expected to rise as these large-scale energy and transport projects progress.
