Paulina Hennig-Kloska, Minister of Climate and Environment, highlighted that the initiative reflects the government’s strategy to boost homegrown green technologies. During the event, she also signed a cooperation deal with rail manufacturer PESA, which is based in Bydgoszcz, to bring one of the world’s earliest hydrogen locomotive designs into series production.
The project is backed by a 53-million-zloty (about €12.5 million) grant under Poland’s National Recovery Plan programme, Hydrogenization of the Economy. The investment will finance the shift from prototype to full-scale production, with a long-term target of manufacturing up to ten hydrogen locomotives annually by 2040.
To celebrate the achievement, officials and industry representatives joined a ceremonial trip between Jelenia Góra and Karpacz on board the hydrogen-powered train.
Poland began testing the locomotive in 2023. Such trains are considered particularly valuable for routes where electrification is technically challenging or economically unfeasible, offering an alternative pathway to cut emissions in the railway sector.
Kořensko hydroelectric power plant is currently undergoing the largest modernization in its 34-year history. Operated by ČEZ as part of the Vltava cascade, the multi-million-crown overhaul will replace core machinery across both of its turbine units, resulting in safer, greener, and significantly more efficient operations by next spring.
Enefit, the electricity subsidiary of Estonia's Eesti Energia, has officially opened the Strzałkowo solar park in central Poland. The newly launched facility marks a major milestone for the company, standing as its largest single renewable energy project in the Polish market to date.
The Strzałkowo facility boasts an impressive installed capacity of 45 megawatts (MW). Operational estimates suggest the site will generate approximately 45 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity annually.
ORLEN Group has just secured a landmark deal to acquire a 216 MW hybrid renewable energy complex in Kazimierz Biskupi, marking a significant milestone in Poland’s green energy transition. By pairing a large-scale solar farm with wind turbines, the project aims to power nearly 143,000 households annually.
