Total Renewable Energy Capacity (Pomorskie only)

  • Total installed renewable electricity capacity: approx. 2.5 GW
    (including installations >50 kW; excluding offshore wind and micro rooftop PV; including the microinstallations the capacity reaches 5GW)
  • The region is one of Poland’s leading onshore renewable regions due to:
    • strong wind conditions,
    • early deployment of onshore wind,
    • growing utility-scale solar PV.

Breakdown by Technology

natura

Onshore Wind

  • Installed capacity: approx.  1.5 GW
  • Role: dominant renewable source in Pomorskie
  • Concentrated mainly in central and western parts of the voivodeship (e.g. Słupsk, Lębork, Kwidzyn, Starogard areas)
natura

Solar PV

  • Installed capacity: approx. 815 MW
    • utility-scale solar farms,
    • growing number of distributed installations
  • Fastest-growing renewable segment in the region
natura

Hydropower

  • Installed capacity: approx. ~35 MW
  • Mostly small hydropower plants on rivers such as the Radunia, Słupia and Wda
  • Complementary, stable but limited growth potential
natura

Biomass / Biogas

  • Smaller share (~35 MW)
  • Mainly CHP units, agricultural biogas and municipal installations

    Onshore Wind

    • Moderate growth expected:
      • repowering of existing wind farms,
      • new projects enabled by easing of distance regulations
    • Pomorskie remains a core onshore wind region nationally
  • kiełkująća roślina

    Solar PV

    • Strong pipeline of:
      • utility-scale PV (20–100 MW),
      • prosumer and C&I rooftop systems
    • Solar expected to double capacity by ~2030
  • kiełkująća roślina

    System Integration

    • Increasing focus on:
      • grid reinforcement,
      • storage and flexibility,
      • coupling with offshore wind (not included here)

Renewables in Regional Energy Use

  • Renewable electricity production in POmerania covers  ~65% of regional electricity consumption (pre-offshore wind).
  • The region is structurally a net renewable producer during high-wind periods, while remaining fully integrated with the national grid.
  • Onshore wind is the key contributor to local renewable generation.

Key Takeaway

Pomorskie is one of Poland’s strongest land-based renewable regions, driven primarily by onshore wind, with rapidly expanding solar PV and stable contributions from hydropower — even before offshore wind enters the system.
