KEY CONTEXT

What do installed capacities in Poland tell us?

Latest figures

In 2024, total installed electricity capacity is 68 816 MW. Selected renewable capacities include solar 21 721 MW, wind 10 152 MW, hydro 2 276 MW.

What the indicator measures

Capacities are expressed in MW and describe the power of the electricity fleet available at the end of the observed period. They do not directly measure electricity generated.

Important distinction

Comparing solar, wind and hydro describes the structure of the fleet, but actual generation also depends on capacity factors, weather and plant availability.
