Information
Poland is home to one of Europe’s largest district heating sectors and one of the biggest opportunities to deliver clean heat at scale. The shift is already underway, driven by clear trends: new heat sources, network modernisation, digitalisation, and smarter operations and business models. Now it’s about pace and scale: what will it take to accelerate Poland’s heat transition and turn it into a win-win for citizens, cities and energy providers?
