About This Dataset

Percentage of Poland's electricity generated from coal in each year since 2010, as published by Ember. Each bar is one calendar year.

✨ AI Insight

Poland has run the fastest coal exit of any major European economy in this period, from 87.08% in 2010 to 50.64% in 2025 - a fall of 36.4 percentage points. The decline is not smooth: the share rose in 2013 and again in 2021, the latter a year when European gas prices pushed utilities back toward coal. The steepest drop came between 2022 and 2024, when it fell from 69.84% to 54.32% in just two years. Even after all of that, Poland still takes more than half its electricity from coal.
