The solar capacity of Poland was approaching 22 GW at the end of March, according to figures from the Institute of Renewable Energy in the country. There are currently 532 solar projects with a capacity of 950 MW with valid building permits.
PolandThe solar capacity reached 21,994 MW towards the end of the first quarter of 2025, according to a new report from the Instytut Energyki Odnnawialnej (IEO) of the country.
The figure means 637 MW Zonne -Zon was added over Q1 2025, built on the 21.157 MW deployed by the At the end of last year.
Ieos Photovoltaic market in Poland 2025 Report says that the structure of the solar market of the country is changing.
The share of the micro-installations, of less than 50 kW in size, fell by the end of Q1 2025 of less than 50 kW of 64% at the end of 2024 to 60%, while the share of the installations between 50 kW and 1000 kW in size fell from 25% to slightly less than 22% in the same time. The share of solar farms above 1 MW, on the other hand, rose from 11% to 20% during the first three months of this year.
According to a social media post of Grzegorz Wiśniewski, president of the board of the Institute, there are currently 3,286 photovoltaic projects with issued schedule connection conditions developed in Poland, with a total capacity of 21,887 MW.
Of these projects, 1,389 projects with a total capacity of 3,537 MW have concluded connection agreements and 532 projects with a combined capacity of 950 MW have valid building permits. Participation in the auction of this month’s renewable energy in Poland is limited to projects that have already obtained building permits.
Wiśniewski added that the photovoltaic industry of Poland is currently aimed at large projects, in particular those larger than 50 MW.
IEO’s report also sheds light on the Growing use of PV restrictions In Poland. It says that the mechanism has become “a regular tool for balancing the system, not an incidental emergency measure” and warns that Poland joins a list of countries “where surplus PV capacity in the national energy system is a real operational challenge.”
The institute also notes that the PV profile prices on the energy market are falling at both the average energy price and per hour and monthly wind energy prices. It says that the pace of the development of new investments slows down as a result of which can threaten the energy transfer goals of the country.
One of the recommendations for the solar industry of Poland described in the IEO report combines the development of solar energy with the heating sector as a flexible consumer of solar energy, where dynamic rates are implemented for all energy consumers and investments in solar energy with solar energy Wind and battery storage facilities.
