• Major Expansion: PSE will invest $15.4 billion to build 4,700 km of new power lines and modernize 110 stations.
• Renewables Capacity: The new infrastructure aims to support 82 GW of renewable energy capacity, including offshore wind, solar, and onshore wind.
• Nuclear Integration: The grid will be equipped to connect Poland’s upcoming nuclear power plant and small modular reactors (SMRs).

Poland’s power-grid operator PSE announced a $15.4 billion (64 billion zlotys) investment plan spanning 2025 to 2034. The plan includes:

• 4,700 km of 400 kV lines
• 28 new stations and 110 station modernizations
• A new land-based direct current (DC) line

Renewable Energy Focus:

PSE’s infrastructure upgrades will enable the delivery of renewable power:

• 18 GW from offshore wind farms
• 45 GW from solar (photovoltaics)
• 19 GW from onshore wind

This will enable approximately 160 TWh of annual renewable energy production.

PSE emphasized:

“Together with the production potential of other types of renewable energy sources, this means the possibility of producing approximately 160 TWh of renewable energy per year in a 10-year horizon.”

Nuclear Energy Integration:

The plan also supports future nuclear energy projects, including:

• A nuclear power plant in northern Poland
• Deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs)

These upgrades position Poland’s energy grid to meet growing demands for clean energy while diversifying its power sources.
