Poland Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Market Outlook 2019÷2028 - Single User

This market report offers an incisive and reliable overview of the photovoltaic sector of the country for the next 10 years period 2019 ÷ 2028. Poland is very interesting market due to its political and economic stability, high prices for electricity and heavy dependence on coal and lignite in power generation, which should be changed to comply with EU renewable policy. In view of recent cuts in FIT’s announced in Germany, Spain, France, UK, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria Romania and Italy, Poland represents a stable investment environment in Central-East Europe.

Current cumulative installed PV capacity in the country by the end of 2018 stays at below 500 MW and is insignificant, but this represents only potential for further growth if the Polish government finds suitable balance for its several times changed in recent years renewable energy policy. By geographical distribution the largest share of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in Poland is belonging to the Lublin province with more than 10 % of all installations in the country. Is it possible Polish solar PV market to start growing sizeable in the near future? How the referential feed-in tariffs, feed-in premiums and auction scheme from 1^st July 2016 will influence the photovoltaic market in Poland this and next years?
