Poland’s district heating sector is entering a crucial phase of transformation. This webinar series explores how stronger links between district heating and electricity markets can support smarter investments, greater flexibility, and a faster green transition, drawing on both Polish and Danish experience.
Poland operates one of Europe’s largest district heating sectors and is actively advancing towards higher energy efficiency and sustainability. The choices made today will shape carbon emissions and heating costs for decades to come, making strategic planning a critical success factor. In many cities, however, municipalities and district heating companies still lack a systematic, coordinated planning approach, an issue this project directly addresses.
At the same time, Poland’s electricity markets are evolving. Strengthening the links between district heating systems and power markets offers a significant opportunity. If production and storage units within district heating systems can interact effectively with electricity markets, this can create tangible value for both the heating and power sectors.
Through a series of thematic webinars, the project supports current and future district heating companies in Poland in understanding how to engage with electricity markets and how sector integration can strengthen long term investment decisions. The webinars combine Danish and Polish perspectives, practical experience, and strategic insights relevant to district heating companies and public stakeholders.
Drawing on Danish experience, where these synergies between heat and power are already realised in practice, the webinar series provides concrete examples, lessons learned, and strategic reflections that can support Polish actors move faster in the transition.
