AI Summary

Poland’s coal‑based power generation has fallen faster than many observers expected. In 2021 coal supplied 72.5 % of the country’s electricity, but by 2025 that share dropped to 52.7 %. During the same period renewable sources grew to 31.4 % of generation. Coal supplied less than half of Poland’s electricity in five separate months, and in June renewables produced more electricity than coal for the first time. The shift indicates a rapid transition toward cleaner energy sources in the Polish grid.
