- Poland announced an “anti-blackout package” to strengthen the power grid, simplify renewable connections, support prosumers, and boost cybersecurity.
- The reforms aim to enhance energy security while driving the transition to offshore wind, nuclear, and other renewables.
Poland’s government has launched a new “anti-blackout package” to strengthen the national power grid, boost resilience, and expand renewable energy capacity.
Energy Minister Miłosz Motyka said on Thursday, September 4, that the initiative ranks among the government’s top priorities. “We are stepping up work on the anti-blackout package, because we consider energy security one of our top priorities,” he told reporters. He confirmed that the first draft bill will go before the Council of Ministers later this month.
The package introduces simplified grid connection rules for renewable projects, new incentives for prosumers, stricter oversight by the national transmission operator, and stronger cybersecurity protections.
Deputy Energy Minister Wojciech Wrochna stressed that while security requires investment, the reforms aim to balance resilience with efficiency and cost control to protect Poland’s economy’s competitiveness.
The initiative comes as Poland accelerates its energy transition, with offshore wind and nuclear projects set to replace coal and other fossil fuels gradually.
