News & Politics May 25, 2021 The share of hard coal and lignite in the production of energy in Poland is on the decline as a new energy policy starts to take effect. Poland has long had a reputation of being wedded to coal when it comes to energy generation, but that appears to be changing. "In 2020, the share of coal and lignite in Poland's energy mix went down to below 70 percent. A year earlier, it was 73 percent," reads a report by the Instrat Foundation, based on the Energy Market Agency data. "In accordance with Poland's new energy policy, this share should not exceed 56 percent by 2030."
