How Europe’s drought exposes ‘weakness of #FossilFuels’ as Poland forced to shut down coal plants
Poland has been forced to reduce output on its #coal-fired #PowerPlants following critically low water levels in the #Vistula River.
#Poland has been urged to double down on #CleanEnergy after Europe’s drought wreaked havoc on its coal industry.
Earlier this week (4 August) utility giant #Enea was forced to reduce generation at the #Kozienice and #Połaniec coal-fired power plants after critically low #water levels in the #VistulaRiver limited cooling water supplies.
The move is said to have removed 1.3 GW from Poland’s power system, enough to power more than one million average households. This is around two per cent of the country’s current energy capacity.
River flow near the Kozienice Power Plant fell to just 135 cubic metres per second on 5 August, reflecting #severe #drought conditions.
The plant’s cooling system withdraws approximately 80–100 m³/s of water from the river – more than half of the remaining flow under such conditions.
> Despite growing evidence that the plant is killing millions of fish larvae, including from six protected species, Enea is cracking on with plans to build a near 1.3GW gas-fired power plant at the Kozienice site. Experts warn that such a move will increase pressure on the Vistula River ecosystem through continued high cooling water demand.

Six charts show how clean power was world’s largest source of new energy in 2025
Clean power added more to global energy supplies than any other source in 2025, according to the latest Energy Institute statistical review of world energy.
Outside the Covid pandemic, it was also the first year ever in which wind and solar, when combined, contributed more new energy than any of the individual fossil fuels.
The findings illustrate the “growing prominence” of electricity in the global energy system, according to the Energy Institute, a professional membership body that took over the production of the annual statistical review from oil firm BP in 2023.
