Poland — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 386 energy assets in Poland across 13 layers — the 22nd-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 148 power plants, 115 oil & gas fields and 47 pipelines. Operating generation capacity is 36.9 GW, led by coal at 74%. Refining capacity is about 537 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are ORLEN SA (103), Gaz-System (43) and PGE Energia Odnawialna SA (13), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Poland's mapped assets in service predate 1990 (median commissioning year of the 188 with a known date), 39 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is CMC Zawiercie steel plant, dating from 1901. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Lubiatowo-Kopalino nuclear power plant (3.8 GW).
