Poland looking to diversify its energy sources

The conservative government in Poland plans to invest well over €1 billion in the energy sector in an attempt to modernize its infrastructure, and perhaps more crucially, reduce its dependence on Russia, its main supplier of oil and gas.

Over 70 percent of Polish energy needs consist of imports, of which 95 percent comes from Russia and other countries belonging to the Commonwealth of Independent States. The rest is provided by domestic production, particularly coal.
