Siemens and PGE (Polska Grupa Energetyczna), the largest energy company in Poland, have partnered to accelerate Poland’s energy transition. The collaboration aims to develop a more sustainable energy landscape in Poland, leveraging Siemens’ expertise in digitalization, electrification, and decarbonization.
The partnership focuses on three key areas:
- Digitalization of the power grid: Siemens will help PGE modernize its grid infrastructure, making it more flexible, efficient, and responsive to changing energy demands. This will enable the integration of more renewable energy sources and reduce carbon emissions.
- Electrification of industry: Siemens will support PGE in its efforts to electrify industries, such as manufacturing and transportation, by providing efficient and reliable electric infrastructure. This will reduce emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, while increasing energy efficiency.
- Decarbonization of energy production: Siemens will work with PGE to develop and implement carbon-neutral power generation technologies, such as gas turbines with carbon capture and storage (CCS) and offshore wind farms. This will help reduce Poland’s greenhouse gas emissions and meet its climate change mitigation targets.
The partnership is expected to bring numerous benefits, including:
- Increased energy efficiency and reduced energy costs
- Enhanced grid resilience and flexibility
- Improved air quality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions
- Job creation and economic growth in the clean energy sector
- Support for Poland’s ambitious climate and energy policy goals
Siemens and PGE have already made significant progress in their collaboration, with several projects underway or completed. For example, they have developed a scalable smart grid solution for PGE’s renewable energy management system, and are working together on a large-scale offshore wind farm project.
The partnership between Siemens and PGE demonstrates the importance of public-private cooperation in driving the energy transition. By working together, industries and governments can develop innovative solutions that address the global challenge of climate change and create a more sustainable energy future.
