Micro-power generation, most of which consisted of solar panels, provided the electrical grid with 109% more electricity in 2022 compared to the previous year, the Polish energy watchdog reported.
According to the Energy Regulatory Office (URE), such installations contributed 5.8 TWh of energy to the grid in 2022, which compared to 2.7 TWh in 2021.
At the end of 2022, more than 1.2 million micro-installations were connected to the grid with the total installed capacity exceeding 9.3 GW, of which 99% were photovoltaic installations.
Prosumer installations, which both consumed and produced electricity, constituted 96% of installed capacity, the URE said.
“The data presented in our latest report clearly show that power generation from green micro-sources has been growing at a tremendous pace in recent years,” URE President Rafal Gawin said. “However, introducing such capacity to the electrical grid requires the urgent adaptation of the grid infrastructure.” (PAP/Business World Magazine)
