Poland reached 1.29 GW of cumulative solar capacity at the end of last year, up from around 1 GW in late September 2019, and from just 486 MW at the end of 2018.
It may reach its 2030 target of 7.8 GW of solar by the middle of the decade, as outlined in the National Plan for Energy and Climate, according to a new report by the Instytut Energetyki Odnawialnej (IEO). The organization initially predicted that solar would have reached just 2.5 GW by the end of the year.
