The Ministry of Energy and Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne (PSE) have presented an anti-blackout package – a set of legal reforms designed to strengthen the resilience of Poland’s power system against disruptions and failures. The proposals include amendments to the Energy Law, the Cybersecurity Act, and the Public Procurement Law.
The initiative was prompted by power supply problems on the Iberian Peninsula in April, which highlighted the importance of uninterrupted energy delivery. Minister Miłosz Motyka emphasized that the goal is to prepare the system for crises and ensure energy security for citizens. PSE President Grzegorz Onichimowski noted that even a strong grid can be vulnerable to blackouts, and their consequences are long-lasting.
The package focuses on six key areas: better system management and producer participation in balancing, a requirement for local production of selected equipment, cybersecurity certification and oversight, tighter supervision of grid operators, streamlined grid connection rules, and clearer regulations for prosumers. All these changes aim to strengthen Poland’s energy security and sovereignty and reduce the risk of future power outages.
