LG Action Country Profile – POLAND
Character:
Parliamentary republic.
The
regional
council
(sejmik
województwa) members are elected
for a four-year mandate. The regional
council manages the decision making
process at the regional level.
The executive power instead belongs to
the
executive
board
(zarzad
województwa) which is composed of
members and of a president
(marszałek) who is elected by the
council for four years mandate.
The governor (wojewoda) is appointed
by the prime minister upon proposal by
the minister responsible for public
administration. One of is main activity
is to supervise the regional council
activities.
The county council (rada powiatu)
members are elected for a four-year
mandate. This deliberative assembly
appoints members of the executive
committee as well as the president of
the county.
The executive body (zarzad powiatu) is
composed of the president and his
deputies elected for four years
mandate. His role is to implement the
council's decisions. The president
(starosta) as represents the county.

About 2500 municipalities (gminy)
• 16
have signed up to the
Covenant of Mayors (July 2011)1
The municipal council (rada gminy)
members are elected four-year
mandate. This is the legislative body but
it manages the municipal budget and
determines local taxes. The executive
board (zarzad gminy) is responsible for
the implementation of the decision
taken by the municipal council. The
mayor is the head of the municipal
council and is elected for a four-year
mandate.
LG revenues come from a small
percentage from their own sources
(33,2% for the municipalities, 6,3% for
the countries and 1,3% for the regions)
all the rest is share among specific
grants, general purpose grants and
2
shares in central taxes (figures referred
to 2002).
Municipal competences are related to
public transport, social services,
housing, environment, culture, heath
and
pre-primary
and
primary
education.
B. NATIONAL / FEDERAL INFORMATION – Climate and Energy
Legislation & approach taken by country (name & number of law / regulation together with summary of intent)
2. Main national / federal climate strategies, policy and legislation on climate change
2.1 Climate strategy and policy:
- - The “Climate policy for Poland. Strategies for greenhouse gases emission reduction until 2020”,
was released by the Ministry of Environment in 2003. It outlines the Polish climate policy in the
context of European and international climate actions, and adapts a broad approach to changes,
including legal mechanisms, market tools, administrative and infrastructural changes as well as
strong educational and awareness-raising effort to reduce Poland’s dependence on fossil fuels,
improve energy efficiency and decrease greenhouse gases emissions until 2020.
- Apart from this document climate change is tackled in several other strategies and policies, e.g.
Energy Strategy and Poland Development Strategy as well as some national laws, like public
procurement law, waste management law and others.
- The McKinsey cost curve for emissions reductions confirms that Poland has a carbon reduction
potential amounting to 236 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) which can be
achieved by 2030. This amounts to a 31% reduction compared to 2005 levels, and would require a
47% reduction in a business-as-usual scenario (in line with current trends, no additional measures)
which points to further growth in carbon emissions, and signals Poland’s problems with meeting
its carbon reduction target under EU effort sharing.
- This level of carbon reduction could only be met if after 2020 Poland was able to explore nuclear
energy and/or sustainable energy solutions such as deploying significant installed capacity in offshore wind power, and using carbon capture and storage (CCS) for its remaining coal fuelled
electricity production. There is, however, an important condition attached: efforts to reach this
target have to be coordinated and involve the government, business and the population
contributing their just share of input. Energy efficiency in non-ETS sector would have to be
improved dramatically, and low-carbon energy sources would have to account for over 50% of
final electricity consumption in 2030. The earlier this efforts are undertaken, the lower cost will
have to be incurred by all the stakeholders. That is why it makes sense to act now, according to
McKinsey(source?).

Under EU effort sharing, Poland is facing a difficult task. Implementing effort sharing decision will
require major efforts to contain emissions in several key sectors, such as transport, buildings,
services, small industrial installations, agriculture and waste. These sectors account for about 60%
of total GHG emissions in the EU and about 48% of total emissions in Poland. Poland and other EU
member states with lower than average GP/capita have been asked to meet proportionately less
ambitious reduction targets. Poland is not obliged to reduce its emissions relative to 2005 level
but is allowed an increase up to 14 %. This was supposed to take into account Poland's expected
economic growth up to 2020. However, exponential growth of non-ETS emissions, especially road
transport, are a major threat to Poland containing its emissions within that range.
2.2 Energy legislation:
- Legislation3: Energy efficiency regulations, Bio-components regulations, Renewable energy
sources regulations
- Poland is still an economy undergoing transition, grappling with the legacy of constraints that have
to be taken into account when planning for changes that require a new approach and a reoriented
mindset.
• The Polish energy sector is in many respects unique, with electricity production based on coal
and lignite, a legacy of old power plants and particularly concerned with its energy security.
• The access to renewable resources such as wind, hydro, biomass and solar is constrained by
geographical and other conditions, and varies from region to region. For an EU member state
the size of Poland, road and rail infrastructure is inadequate and may be in many cases an
obstacle e.g. for transporting biomass but also a problem for a modal transport shift reducing
carbon emissions in supply chains. These and other similar barriers have also to be taken into
account when planning carbon reduction measures.
- The “Poland's Energy Policy – Strategy until 2030”, was adopted by the government in 2009. It
aims at reducing energy consumption, moving towards “zero-energy development”, increasing
energy security and decrease of energy sector’s environmental impact by means of: increased
energy efficiency, increased share of renewable, diversification of energy sources, competition
between energy providers. However, it doesn’t mention, specifically and explicitly, climate
changes nor does it charge LGs with any special duties and purposes.
- The main principles of current Polish energy policy are
• security of energy supply, ensuring current and future energy and fuel needs of consumers
-
-
3
•
increasing the competitiveness of Polish economy and energy efficiency, and
•
protection of the environment.
These are largely in line with the direction of EU Energy Policy and are to be achieved in line with
the principles of sustainable development, based on national energy resources (with key role of
lignite and hard coal maintained but decreasing in favour of RES).
While security of energy supply has been assured in the short- and medium term, several activities
connected with this goal are to be implemented by local authorities and industry, whereas the
government maintains oversight and leads by implementing systemic activities, such as:
• creating a balanced structure of primary energy sources, based on national resources
•
increasing efficiency in the use of energy
•
development of renewable energy sources and of cogeneration of heat and power
•
enhancing energy cost effectiveness of the economy and thereby improving competitiveness
•
balancing interests of energy consumers and suppliers.
The policy aims foremost at increasing energy efficiency – understood as zero-energy growth and
achieving by 2030 energy efficiency of the economy as the whole at the level of the EU-15 in 2005.

Such growth pattern is to be assured through reducing energy consumption, increasing efficiency
of energy production and reducing energy losses during transmission and distribution.
Current energy policy focuses on the use of national resources of primary energy (hard coal,
lignite, gas and biofuels), and especially the promotion of domestic production of gas. The
government intends to more effectively exploit Poland’s natural gas resources and develop RES
and cogeneration of heat and power. Development of RES is planned at the level matching
economic growth, so that it can be achieved without undue growth of GHG emissions. The main
policy goals are concerned with achieving targets of 15% green energy in final energy balance by
2020 and 14% green energy in total primary energy production by 2020. A planned departure
from co-firing of biomass in large power plants towards local use of biomass and biogas in small
generation units is another policy direction. Other planned developments include small hydro,
geothermal energy and wind power.
RE targets create a climate favourable to the development of the RE sector and to the transfer of
new technologies. This government strategy is in line with the disbursement of the structural
funds agreed with the EU. However, it may be difficult for Poland to achieve quantitative targets
of the government policy without additional pressure ad there have been many years of delay in
the deployment of effective systemic mechanisms supporting the development of RES in Poland.
Government policies support technology transfer and investment in energy efficiency. Improvements in energy efficiency would constitute a major environmental benefit, saving
millions of tonnes of CO2 emissions (every 1% reduction in energy use means a reduction of
around 3 million tonnes of CO2). It has been estimated that, for example, in the case of a multifamily residential building, full and technically proper thermo-refurbishment would save between
30% and 55% of energy.
However, most energy efficiency efforts in Poland today are voluntary or based on simple
economic interest. In the framework of EU Energy and Climate package, until 2020 Poland has to
achieve 20% of energy efficiency increase but this target is not mandatory but indicative. The GDP
energy intensity of Poland is still 2 times higher than the average indicators in EU countries and 3
times higher than in the most developed EU member states. Low energy efficiency remains a
barrier between Poland and EU countries.
The only policy measure actively targeting the area is the Thermal Modernization Act and its
effectiveness is hampered by the high costs of energy audits. More importantly, its annual
spending is tiny compared to the billions available for other areas such as SOx control or the
construction of new generation capacity. Undoubtedly, Poland’s energy efficiency will improve as
the energy intensive sectors of the economy continue to modernize and low-energy sectors
increase their overall share of the economy. Companies will want to improve returns by investing
in new technologies reducing final energy use, while expectations of consumers expressing
preferences for a “low-energy lifestyle” will lead to further technological innovations lowering
energy consumption of manufactured goods.

C. LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEGAL MANDATE(S) / RESPONSIBILITIES
Legislation and the role of LGs in the specific context of climate change and energy (name and number of law / regulation
together with summary)
3. LGs and climate change:
Was there a local government reform process? (Change in their roles? Change in government levels?)
4
http://www.energy.eu
LG Action Country Profile – POLAND
4
- Since 1999 there was no local government reform in Poland.
Do LGs have a legal mandate or responsibility regarding climate change mitigation?
- No, they have no formal obligation and the climate policy does not mention LGs explicitly in any
part, while the Local Government Law does not charge LGs with climate change activities.
Do LGs have a legal mandate or responsibility to address adaptation/community resilience/disaster
prevention?
- All these and more can be tackled by municipalities through various act of local planning,
emergency preparation etc., but there is no explicit regulation related to these issues only.
May they participate in carbon off-setting schemes (voluntary or otherwise)?
- ?
4. LGs and energy:
Do LGs have any mandate and responsibilities regarding local energy production (e.g. regulations, may
they establish an ESCO (Energy Service Company)?
- Local authorities don’t have an obligation to include energy efficiency in their planning. They are
obliged to prepare plans for providing of heat, gas fuels and electricity, which can include energy
efficiency and/or the use of renewable energy sources. However, this is completely at the
discretion of municipality.
- From 2011 onwards, they will be mandatory and every community will have to achieve minimum
1% per year savings of energy.
Do LGs have any mandate and responsibilities regarding buildings and urban planning (e.g.
regulations, land sale requirements, Urban Master Plan, etc.)?
- Yes, it is an obligation of LG to put in place local and regional development and zoning plans,
which are of various scale and can regulate issues of construction, development etc. Practical
execution of this duty varies depending on municipality.
- There are chances to be explored regarding LGs involvement in energy efficiency, but awareness
and motivational obstacles need to be taken into account. The opportunities may increase after
2011, when municipalities will be obliged to achieve specified energy savings per year.
- Example: The Capital City of Warsaw is engaged in the project “E3SoHo - ICT services for Energy
Efficiency in European Social Housing”, including the following activities:
i)
provision to residents of feedback on energy use and personalised advice on improving
energy efficiency;
ii)
provision of information and support in decision-making on the most appropriate
behaviour concerning energy efficiency, costs, comfort and environmental impact, aiming
at a reduction of energy use and an increase in the proportion of renewable energy
sources;
iii)
monitoring and passing on of data on energy use to energy service providers that may
initiate energy audits in real time, aimed at remedial action as well as conservation
activities. The initiative will propose holistic solutions, providing advice on ways of
reducing energy use, appropriate system installation, and monitoring and adaptation of
energy use5.
Mobility?
- None of the mobility issues is obligatory for LG's.
Waste?
5
Further Information about this Project can be found in the Energy Final Report of the Committee of the
Regions, Sustainable energy policies by EU regions and cities: Good practices and challenges, October 2010.

-
This is a main focus since LGs are responsible for waste management in their area as well as for
the building of and maintenance of waste treatment capacity. Mostly LGs are responsible for
fulfilling broader goals from the Voivodeship level. The transfer funds from regional level into
projects.
Water?
- Same as above.
D. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS – ACTUAL APPROACH
What is actually happening at the LG level? (e.g. voluntary engagement as the local impact of climate change is already
visible, or awaiting guidance from national level)
5. Motivation for local climate and energy action:
Why do LGs respond or plan to respond (is there a specific reason, or various reasons)?
- Mostly energy security and sustainable development.
- Also, financial incentives play a strong role, especially when actions can provide savings. All kinds
of actions that provide immediate savings and/or can be financed from external sources (i.e.
source of extra money for the LGs) are popular.
- Actions that require long-term, strategic planning and that don’t offer immediate benefits are
often neglected or looked over. Most municipalities value “hard” projects above all else and are
hardly persuaded to engage in “soft” activities, like education, communication or planning.
- LGs have to prepare energy efficiency plans, but this is treated as (unnecessary) paperwork since
there are no executive directives behind it. - Climate change issues per se are very rarely tackled
by Polish LGs. If at all, they engage in actions on energy efficiency or sustainable transportation –
and only in very few municipalities.
- There are separate cases of LGs that are aware of climate issues (e.g. municipalities in the Polish
Energie Cites network) and take some action in this matter.
- Most LGs face severe issues with regard to climate change, including: lack of awareness,
understaffing, lack of financial resources, competition for resources, presence of more pressing
needs, not enough networking.
6. Local climate action:
What do LGs do? How do they respond (different levels of municipality engaged? Different
departments active, with one department leading? Overall strategy or ad hoc responses?)
- Ad hoc responses, mostly following the current “flow” of funds and financing.
Is climate change resilience / adaptation directly addressed (even if not mandate exists)?
- It is not considered an issue.
7. Local energy action:
Estimate how many LGs are actively engaged in switching to sustainable energy.
- There is some movement among the LGs to tackle the energy issues, especially with recent
increase of available financing. Mostly, however, isolated refurbishment-style investments are
done.
- Some very proactive LGs take it a step further, introducing more holistic, planning-oriented
measure, but there are few of them. Many LGs are aware of energy issues and try to tackle this
issue in some way. Recently energy efficiency and (especially!) renewables are becoming more
and more popular. There is increased political backup for the issues, also big technology and
engineering companies are moving into this sector. This means more money inflow and more
opportunities, which attracts the LGs. Even this year there have been several big events covering
those topics.
LG Action Country Profile – POLAND
6
Estimate how many LGs have already developed an Action Plan (energy, mobility, waste,)
- Waste plans are part of broader strategy for greater area. Goals are transferred to local level. In
case of Energy only national plans exist, those have limited impact on LG's strategies and
programs they only outline the direction towards which to move.
- Mostly what is done is isolated investments like refurbishments etc, while there is lack of longterm, holistic planning. Also, a lot of recent buzz around RES may be coming from the fact, that
there are significant state subsidies behind energy from renewable sources, which may have
detrimental long-term effects for the economy or may be revoked in future due to growing public
deficit in Poland’s budget.
Estimate how many are starting up in this field
- About 30-40% of LGs are exploring this field but they require further guidance
Is there any development of implementing new regulations to conform to national or EU legislation or
directives (e.g. EPBD - Energy Performance of Buildings Directive).
- The ESD Directive is still in development stages and will only be included when the new Energy
Law is accepted.
LG Action Country Profile – POLAND

8. Role of national LG association(s) in support of members
All national and thematic local government associations and networks - organisation name{s}, number of members, any
established conservation of resources, etc..
-
-
LG associations in Poland vary from few dozens to few hundred members, depending on their
scope (some are regional, some cover the whole country). They provide a good platform for LGs
for cooperation and lobbying.
Their involvement in climate and energy issues is very random, and depends greatly on individual
municipalities’ approach. On the scale of the whole country there is only one association created
specifically for climate and energy purpose – The Polish Energie Cites network.
E. INVOLVEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL AND REGIONAL ACTIVITIES
9. Overview of LG involvement in the Local Government Climate Roadmap
How have LGs been involved in the international and European process – how interested, how many, to what extent (from
very active to observer).
Level of involvement in the national climate debate?
- It is substantial and growing, especially that more LGs see the involvement in energy and climate
issues as a chance of winning more projects, funding etc. LGs are also interested in opportunities
for monetary savings and new local investments and developments that new energy economy can
bring them. They are often very strongly represented on various national events, conferences,
trade fairs etc.
Impact of this on interest and involvement in regional (European) and international activities?
- Only the largest cities (Warsaw, Poznan, Gdansk, Krakow, Wrocław) have been active participants
in international climate and energy dialogue.
- Beyond them, LGs associated in the Polish “Energie Cities” network are also active, but they
represent a small part of polish local government.
- 100% LGs were informed of the Local Government Climate Roadmap
F. INVOLVEMENT IN NATIONAL ACTIVITIES
10. Overview of national-local interaction
Interaction and activities among national (federal) – regional (state) – local governments. Also potential / planned activities
(e.g. meetings scheduled) for 2010 and 2011 that could be explored within the framework of LG Action.
Is there any formal interaction between national government and cities / others?
- ?
Regular meetings? Specific topics?
- ?
Is there is a need for improved national-local dialogue?
- There is no formal, regular contact between local and national level authorities, except for what is
required for their day-to-day operational activities.
