The Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) welcomes the Commission’s strategies aimed at promoting a holistic approach to pursue policies aimed at achieving EU climate-neutral economy in 2050, and developing the key technologies for reaching this objective. The PKEE shares the Commission’s reflection that electricity should remain the key driver of the decarbonization, possibly supported by other […]

The Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) believes that electrification should be the main driver of energy transition, accelerating decarbonisation in other sectors of economy. According to “Decarbonisation Pathways”, a study by Eurelectric, in 2050 electricity will play a leading role in transport, as it will constitute up to 63% of the total final energy consumption in […]

Members of the Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) are aware of climate change challenges and aim at a further sustainable transformation which will at the same time ensure energy security. The Polish energy sector is already committed to contribute to the EU climate and energy objectives through ambitious plans to reduce its GHG emissions, even though […]

The Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) supports the idea of establishing the taxonomy and technical screening criteria in order to ensure transparency and to provide a framework for private investors, public institutions and market participants. The main goal of the taxonomy must be to ensure the best investment framework allowing a sustainable transition towards low-carbon economy.

With their zero- and low-emissions investment portfolio, the members of the Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) are actively contributing to the growth of a low-carbon economy. Therefore, the PKEE welcomes an opportunity to present its response to the Inception Impact Assessment (IIA) of the 2030 Climate Target Plan. We would like to point the European Commission’s […]

The Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) agrees that the achievement of objectives set out in the European Green Deal may require a broader discussion about the possible amendments to the existing energy taxation rules. However, the decision on amending the Energy Taxation Directive (ETD)1 can only be made after conducting a thorough impact assessment and in […]

Companies associated with the Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) are consistently continuing their operations in the face of the epidemic threat, ensuring the continuity of electricity supply to millions of Poles. The PGE, TAURON, Enea and Energa Groups have adapted their work organisation models to ensure their business continuity and the protection of health of both […]

Members of the Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) are aware of the climate change challenges and share the Commission’s ambition to jointly tackle them. Polish energy sector is already preparing for a further transformation in a sustainable development direction, ensuring energy security and affordable energy prices. However, the achievement of the ambitious goal of climate neutrality […]

The Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) agrees with the need for a transformation towards innovative and low-emission economy assuming that prior to establishing EU climate-neutrality binding target, a fair burden-sharing mechanism will be created taking into account compensations for the Member States with coal-dependent economies. Achieving the energy transition by becoming carbon-neutral before mid-century will be […]

To achieve the very ambitious climate goals which are being discussed, the EU Member States require not only proper instruments but also significant funding. The European Commission estimates that reaching the EU climate and energy targets by 2030 will require annual investments of approximately EUR 180 billion throughout the Union. Therefore, we need to provide […]
