From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Miliband puts our energy security at risk, Poland are building new gas plants:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

State-owned PGE, the largest power producer in Poland, said the 1,366-MW PGE Gryfino Dolan Odra power station has entered commercial operation. The facility is now the country\u2019s largest gas-fired power plant.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials on Nov. 8 said the station will supply about 5% of Poland\u2019s electricity. PGE officials said the plant is \u201cone of the most modern in Europe.\u201d The investment \u201cwill strengthen Poland\u2019s energy security and ensure a stable energy supply for more than 3 million households,\u201d Dariusz Marzec, PGE\u2019s CEO, said during Friday\u2019s launch ceremony.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi\u0142osz Motyka, the country\u2019s deputy climate minister, said the new facility will \u201cnot only have a direct impact on the stability of the electricity system, i.e. on security, but is also another step in the transformation of our economy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGas investment is a very important part of the energy transition and the move towards climate neutrality,\u201d said Robert Kropiwnicki, deputy minister of state assets. \u201cWe are constantly expanding the RES [renewable energy] system.\u201d Kropiwnicki noted, though, that renewables \u201cneed parallel stable energy sources working as a base, and at the moment there is no more flexible capacity than gas capacity.\u201d Renewable energy accounted for about 26% of Poland\u2019s power generation in 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland in the past week needed to import energy from neighboring countries, including Germany, Sweden, and Ukraine as a lack of wind led to a decline in energy production from wind turbines, according to Business Insider Polska.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
