Realpolitik and renewables: what’s behind Poland’s bold energy transition⁠?

This source features an article by Enrique Dans examining Poland's energy transition from heavy reliance on coal to increasing adoption of renewable sources, particularly offshore wind in the Baltic Sea. Dans questions whether this shift is a genuine environmental effort or a geopolitical strategy, highlighting significant investments in wind and solar power and the role of EU funding. The subsequent comments section reveals a debate among readers regarding the challenges of integrating intermittent renewables, the necessity of grid modernization, and the potential role of nuclear energy as part of Poland's future energy mix, with differing opinions on its competitiveness and the feasibility of relying solely on wind, solar, and hydropower.This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «Realpolitik and renewables: what’s behind Poland’s bold energy transition?»
