Nearly 150 representatives of government institutions, energy companies, industry organizations, and expert communities from Poland and Germany gathered during the 4th Polish-German Energy Transition Forum to discuss the future of energy security and cross-border cooperation. The event focused on how both countries can strengthen the resilience of their energy systems amid growing geopolitical and economic challenges.
Although Poland and Germany are pursuing different energy transition strategies, participants agreed that both countries share several common objectives: secure energy supplies, affordable energy prices, and the preservation of industrial competitiveness. Discussions emphasized that energy security increasingly depends on diversified energy sources, modern infrastructure, and greater flexibility across energy systems.
One of the key themes was the role of offshore wind energy in the Baltic Sea. Experts highlighted the region’s growing importance as a major European hub for renewable energy investments, with future projects expected to provide electricity to millions of consumers. Hydrogen was also identified as a strategic technology with significant potential to support Europe’s long-term decarbonization efforts, provided that a stable market framework can be established.
The forum also showcased successful examples of cross-border cooperation, including energy infrastructure projects connecting communities on both sides of the Polish-German border. Participants stressed that practical collaboration can accelerate the energy transition while delivering tangible benefits to local economies and residents.
Another important topic was Europe’s growing dependence on imported critical raw materials. Experts called for stronger recycling capabilities, wider use of secondary resources, and the development of European standards for “second-life” technologies, particularly in the battery sector.
The overall conclusion of the forum was clear: Europe’s energy transformation cannot succeed without international cooperation, strategic investments, and a technology-neutral approach. Despite differences in their energy mixes, Poland and Germany have numerous shared interests and can play a key role in building a more secure, competitive, and sustainable European energy system.
