THE GREEN TURN
OF TAURON

Green transition of the power industry is no longer a question of a decision, but the only path we can follow now.

Paweł Strączyński President & CEO

The TAURON Group is implementing the Green Turn strategy. According to its assumptions, by 2030 the company is to generate 66% of its energy from low- and zero-emission sources while cutting CO2 emissions by half. TAURON’s future involves huge investments in wind, solar and, in the interim period, gas power generation as well as investments in distribution networks. Using EU and national funds, we have to create a situation in which Polish companies will gain from the energy transformation.
