# Poland expands renewables, storage, heating & grid > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/poland-biogas-and-heating-modernization > Updated: 2026-09-15T08:05:24.000Z. Sources: 215. Developments: 65. Poland’s low‑carbon transition continues to broaden. EU‑funded programmes are modernising district‑heating networks in towns such as Radzyń Podlaski and Stronie Śląskie, replacing leaky pipes and adding heat‑storage units to cut CO₂ emissions. The biogas sector is scaling rapidly: 209 agricultural plants produced 840 million m³ of biogas in 2026, generating 1 080 GWh of electricity. Supporting this growth, Galia Green Power has secured a 376 million PLN financing agreement from a consortium including PKO Bank Polski, BGK, and mBank to acquire and expand biogas and biomethane projects. Offshore wind has reached major milestones. The Baltic Power wind farm has begun delivering energy to the national grid, while the 1.5 GW Baltica 2 project has completed all 111 monopile installations, with first energy expected in early 2027. The energy mix is shifting significantly toward renewables. On September 5, renewables accounted for nearly 60% of electricity generation, led by wind (37.4%) and photovoltaics (17.2%), while coal’s share declined to approximately 32.3% combined. However, Michał Hetmański of the Instrat Foundation noted that while the National Energy and Climate Plan is complete, challenges remain regarding the coordination of renewable competencies between ministries. Corporate activity reflects this shift. Enea reached a renewable capacity of 730.3 MW by June 2026, supported by National Recovery Plan funding for photovoltaics. Meanwhile, Grupa Azoty is pursuing a restructuring plan, including the sale of its polyolefins unit to Orlen, to manage rising energy costs. Investment timelines are also being adjusted; the government has rescheduled funding for critical energy projects in Pomerania, including a planned nuclear power plant, moving funds originally slated for 2025–2026 to 2029 and 2030. Strategic investments in West Pomerania, such as the Wolin East oil and gas deposits, face opposition from German-based organizations including Lebensraum Vorpommern and Coalition Clean Baltic. ## Claims - The European Investment Bank is providing financing of over €260 million (about $300 million) for the Miejska Górka wind farm.
