Poland's grid connection reform: a necessary reset for the energy transition
On 15 April 2026, the Act amending the Energy Law, which introduces significant changes to the regulatory framework for grid connection, was officially announced (the "Amendment"). The aim of the act is to provide a long-overdue response to the speculative blocking of connection capacity. The reform is ambitious and necessary, although certain mechanisms will require careful navigation by investors.
