3sCE417P3 – 3.3 Assessment of Energy Transfer Potential Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts
1. Regional electricity network and distribution
1.1. Sector description in Poland
The operator of the power transmission system in the whole Poland is Polskie Sieci
Elektroenergetyczne S.A. (further on "PSE"), formerly PSE-Operator S.A., operating pursuant to the
Energy Law and responsible for the transmission traffic in the power system, current and non-current
security of the system, exploitation, maintenance and repairs, and necessary extension of the
transmission network, including connections with other power system.
PSE is a member of the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity -
ENTSO-E. Since 2006 PSE taking part in the Electricity Regional Initiative (ERI) ERGEG, has been
cooperating in the group of eight transmission system operators from the area of the Central and
Eastern Europe, covering parts of Germany, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Hungary and
Slovakia.
In December 2008 transmission system operators from the Czech Republic, Germany,
Austria, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Poland concluded a memorandum of understanding for
the enhancement of operation security of connected power transmission systems in the region of
Central Europe.
In 2007 PSE concluded a memorandum of understanding concerning the cooperation with
transmission system operators from Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia in order to integrate the electricity
markets of the Baltic states with the internal energy market of the European Union. The
Memorandum of Understanding as regards planning and coordination of the development of
transmission systems in the region of the Baltic Sea was concluded in 2008 by PSE and five operators
of transmission systems from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Sweden.1
1.2. International power engineering connections of Poland
The total capacity of the connections of the Polish power system with the states of the
European Union amounts to 2,000-3,000 MW (depending on the configuration of the system
operation) and is limited with transmission capacity of the internal public system. The present
capacity of cross-border connections satisfies the goal approved by the Council of Europe, providing
for a minimum of 10 percent of the transmission capacity of cross-border connections in relation to
the power installed in the public power system. 2

1.3. Planned new connections
A shortcoming of the Polish and also European transmission system is insufficient power of cross
system connections. The extension of cross-border connections planned till 2020 is to liquidate this
disadvantageous for the European energy security phenomenon and help fully open the energy
market.
Compliant with the PSE's plans it is planned to:
on the German border:
construct six 400 kV lines,
modernise Krajnik-Morzyczyn-Dunowo 400 kV line route,
changing the two-route line of Krajnik-Vierraden (Germany) to the voltage of 400 kV,
installation of phase shifters in Krajnik station on 400 kV Krajnik-Vierraden line,
construction of 400 kV switching station in Byczyna station.
on the Czech and Slovakian border:
connecting the existing Tucznawa-Rzeszów 400 kV line to Baczyna station,
modernisation of Łagisza-Tucznawa 400 kV line and both routes of Tucznawa-Byczyna 400 kV
line,
modernisation of 220 kV Moszczenica-Wielopole and Podborze-Moszczenica line,
construction of 2-route cross-system 400 kV Byczyna-Varin (Slovakia) line,
on the Ukrainian border:
construction of a converter station, B-T-B type, 2x600 MVA capacity, in Rzeszów station,
modernisation of 750 kV Rzeszów-Chmielnicka line.3
Poland-Lithuania energy bridge
Poland-Lithuania energy bridge is a strategic investment for the energy security of the north-
eastern Poland. An agreement relating to the construction of a cross-border connection of power
systems of the both countries was signed on 8 December 2006. The basic goal of the Project is to
3 Source: PSE SA, PSE-Operator SA, "Puls Energii" - No. 6/2005;
3sCE417P3 – 3.3 Assessment of Energy Transfer Potential Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts
connect the electricity markets of the Baltic states with the markets of the other EU states by closing
the so-called Baltic ring.
The structure of the transmission system of the north-eastern Poland is one of the weakest
cells of the Public Power System (Polish: Krajowy System Elektroenergetyczny (KSE)) and it is not
sufficient to counteract the factors endangering the safety and operation of KSE in case of any
unexpected failure. A small number of existing stations and line connections between them makes
that alternative routes of energy distribution do not exist. The existing structure and number of
power objects guarantees power supply in that region of the country only in normal operations
systems of KSE.
The duty of the Project is creation in the National Transmission System of a connection with
the transmission system of Lithuania including the necessary strengthening of the Polish transmission
grid in the region of the north-eastern Poland in order to guarantee a better quality and reliability of
supplying the users with electricity and a growth in the security of its supplies. The realisation of the
investment will result in the extension of a considerable part of the National Transmission System in
the north-eastern part of the country, better reliability of electricity supplies, especially to large
urban and industrial agglomerations and reduction in transmission losses. Within the project the
existing, obsolete energy grids will be extended and modernised in the north-eastern Poland, and
400 km new lines will be created.
Poland-Lithuania project is implemented in two stages. Within the first stage (financial
perspective 2007-2013) 11 investments will be implemented, which were grouped in 6 applications
for funding:
Application No. 1 - Construction of 400/220/110 kV Ołtarzew station (Mazowieckie province);
Application No. 2 – Construction of Ostrołęka (Mazowieckie province) – Narew (Podlaskie
province) line with the extension of Ostrołęka and Narew stations;
Application No. 3 – Construction of Ełk Bis (Warmińsko-mazurskie province) - Łomża
(Podlaskie province) line with the construction of Łomża and Ełk Bis stations (stage I);
Application No. 4 – Construction of Miłosna-Siedlce Ujrzanów line (Mazowieckie province)
with the construction of Siedlce Ujrzanów station;
Application No. 5 – Construction of Ełk Bis (Warmińsko-mazurskie province) - Polish border
(Podlaskie province) line with the construction of Ełk Bis stations (stage II);
Application No. 6 - Construction of Stanisławów station (Mazowieckie province); 4

2. Public Power System
In Poland the continuity and stability of electricity supplies is guaranteed by a group of entities
forming three subsystems within the Public Power System:
• generation subsystem,
• transmission grid,
• distribution network.
The generation subsystem covers system power plants, industrial power plants and combined
heat and power plants, regional combined heat and power plants, hydroelectric plants, wind farms,
solar farms, plants fired with biomass and biogas. The generated energy is distributed through the
transmission grid: 750 kV, 400 kV and 220 kV power lines and stations. The transmission grid is
3sCE417P3 – 3.3 Assessment of Energy Transfer Potential Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts
managed by one operator - PSE S.A. The end user receives energy thanks to the distribution network
covering 110 kV lines (due to the operation specifics managed by PSE) and medium and low voltage
lines.5
2.1. Transmission grid
The extra high voltage transmission grid in Poland is composed of:
• 242 lines of the total length of 13,396 km, including:
– 1 line 750 kV voltage, total length 114 km,
– 74 lines 400 kV voltage, total length 5,340 km,
– 167 lines 220 kV voltage, total length 7,942 km,
• 100 stations for extra high voltage (EHV),
• and the under-sea connection for direct current 450 kV Poland – Sweden of the total length of 254
km. 6

2.2. Distribution network
Although the total number of entities holding licences for trade in electricity is around 340, the
distribution market is divided among 4 key distribution operators: Enea, Energa, PGE and Tauron. In
Warsaw the distribution is handled by RWE.

The transmission system of electricity for the Mazowieckie Province (Mazovia) constitutes a
part of the Public Power System and covers extra high voltage grids, i.e. 400 kV and 220 kV, and high
voltage networks - 110 kV. They are used to transmit power from system power plants and
distribution of energy for long and medium distance. The system covers also the transformer
stations of extra high voltage, 400 kV and 220 kV.

On the area of the Mazowieckie Province the distribution of electricity by power grids and
devices of high voltage (HV), medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) to end users is realised by
the following operators of distribution systems (OSDs):
1. PGE Dystrybucja S.A operates in the largest area of Mazovia Voivodship and provides energy to
48 cities and 148 communes in Mazovia voivodship (excluding Warsaw and the area of Płock) and
also part of Warmia-Masuria and Lublin voivodships. It has 54.965 km electrical power lines with
3sCE417P3 – 3.3 Assessment of Energy Transfer Potential Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts
every voltage and 16.146 electrical substations with joint power of 2 289 MVA. Overhead power lines
constitute 80% of the network length.8
2. RWE Stoen Operator Sp. z o.o. (former STOEN) deals with distributing electrical energy through
own network located in the area of Warsaw to the following communes: Izabelin, Jabłonna, Józefów,
Konstancin Jeziorna, Legionowo, Lesznowola, Łomianki, Marki, Michałowice, Nieporęt, Ożarów
Mazowiecki, Piaseczno, Piastów, Raszyn, Stare Babice, Sulejówek, Wiązowna, Ząbki, Zielonka.
RWE Stoen Operator Sp. z o.o. supplies energy to over 910 thousand consumers by means
of overhead lines with the voltage of 220 kV, which are 8 km long, overhead lines with the voltage
of 110 kV, which are 396 km long and 77km of cable lines. Medium-voltage lines used by the
company are 292 km- overhead and 6330km –cables. RWE Operator also has 1397 km low-voltage
(0,4 kV) overhead lines and 7042 km low-voltage cable lines. Cable lines constitute 95% of lines in 15
kV Network
According to the investment plan for years 2011-2015, RWE Stoen Operator Sp. z o.o. intends
to spend about 1,1 billion PLN. The investment plan includes both expansion and modernization
of existing infrastructural elements of the network. New high-voltage lines will be cable lines, which
will strengthen the position of RWE Stoen Operator Sp. z o.o. in Poland, a leader in the construction
and operation of high-voltage lines. 9 Investment plans are graphically presented in pic. 6.

3. ENERGA Operator SA is one of the largest distributors of electricity in Poland. The company is
a member of Energa SA . ENERGA Operator SA supplies electricity to the eight counties, located in
the north-western part, ie. the counties of Gostyń, Płock, Sierpc, Żuromin, Mława, Ciechanów, Płońsk
and Przasnysz (without Jednorożec Commune) in the area of Mazovia.
2.3. Condition of the public transmission grid
Most of the transmission lines of 400 kV voltage were built in 1970s and 80s of the 20th century.
Some grids aged 40 years and more require urgent modernisation. Execution of the modernisation is
difficult due to the fact that the lines cannot be switched off. The age structure of 220 kV lines points
to the necessity of their modernisation. Extension and modernisation programmes developed by PSE
S.A. are based on the concept of development of 400 kV grids on the existing 200 kV line routes.
After their realisation the structure will be changed of the length of lines by voltage (the total length
of 400 kV lines will be increased, and the total length of 220 kV will decrease).
In the percentage structure of transformer age a large percentage is units aged 30 to 40
years. In previous years the gradual programme of replacement of transformer units was
implemented. It is planned to continue the replacement along with the programme of construction
of additional transformer units and purchase of new generation transformers.
3sCE417P3 – 3.3 Assessment of Energy Transfer Potential Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts
From the analyses performed it follows that most objects may be still operated for ten odd
years. In the case of devices, i.e. transformers, switches and line objects of 400 kV voltage such
a period is safe. Yet, in the case of 220 kV line the anticipated period of operation is short. 10
In the opinion of PSE S.A. in order to guarantee a safe operation of the Public Power System
(KSE) it is necessary to construct at least 6.5 GW new generating capacity. Failure to construct new
generating sources will result, in a medium-term objective (during the coming several years), in no
possibility of covering the demand for electricity and peak power.
According to the Development Plan of the Transmission Grid (PRSP) the following is planned
in the horizon till 2025:
• construction of ca. 4,600 km new transmission lines - 400 kV,
• modernisation of the existing 400 kV and 220 kV lines with the length of ca. 2500 km,
• construction of 17 new station objects,
• modernisation of 21 existing stations and switching stations,
• construction of new cross-border connections with the Lithuanian and German systems and re-
starting 750 kV connection with the Ukrainian system.11

On the area of the Mazowieckie Province during 2008-2033 an extension of the Public
Transmission system is planned (extra high voltage power grids) with a particular attention paid to
400 kV line connections of the Warsaw Power Node with the adjacent regions:
Łódzkie province (Ołtarzew - Bełchatów) with Warmińsko-mazurskie province (Miłosna - Ostrołęka -
Ełk, Ostrołęka – Olsztyn, Płock - Olsztyn),
with Podlaskie province (Ostrołęka - Narew);
with Lubelskie province (Siedlce - Biała Podlaska - Elektrownia Wschód);
with Wielkopolskie province (Ołtarzew - Pątnów complex of power plants Adamów - Konin)12

Warsaw agglomeration during summer season, in particular, due to lower production of
energy by CHP is exposed to higher risk of breakdown (available CHP power is 200MW which is 25%
of winter potential). To improve the safety of the Mazovia PSE grid the Operator plans the following
investments till 2015:
Building of 400/220/110 kV station Ołtarzew which is located in Ożarów Mazowiecki community, in
Warsaw-West district. Ołtarzew station will be connected by means of five 400 kV lines and four 220
kV lines
Building of 400 kV line Ostrołęka-Narew
Development of 220/110 kV Ostrołęka station by a 400 kV distribution unit
Building of a single track 400 kV line Miłosna-Siedlce Ujrzanów. The length of proposed line is ca 84
km.
Building of 400/110 kV station Siedlce Ujrzanów and building of the output to 400 kV distribution unit
towards Miłosna and Kozienice
Till 2020 OSP (transmission system operator) plans the following investments:
Building of 400/110 kV line Ostrołęka -Stanisławów. Length of projected line is ca 106 km.
Building of 400/110 kV station which will cover the area of ca 7,3 ha.
Building of 400 kV line Kozienice-Siedlce Ujrzanów. Total length of the line is ca 90 km.
Building of 400 kV line Płock-Olsztyn. Length of projected line is ca 170 km.
Development of 400/110 kV Płock station
Development of 400/220/110 kV Kozienice station. 6 lines, one auto transformer of 400/220 kV, 500
MVA and 3 block transformers of ENEA Wytwarzanie Power Plant will be finally connected to the
distribution unit.

The anticipated growth in demand for power and electricity in Poland amounts to ca. 2% annually,
which is presented in table 2.
Table 2. Anticipated growth in demand for power and electricity in Poland (source: Planning of the Polish transmission network development in the perspective of the year 2025")

Demand for power available, MW 31 014 34 696 43 224 48 307
National electricity consumption, TWh 162 176 220 246
The forecast growth in demand, implementation of common EU climate policy, and also
a considerable exploitation of the existing generating units result in the fact that one of the basic
conditions setting the directions of the extension of the transmission grid in the PRSP perspective till
2025 is the construction of new generating sources. Within the connection of renewable energy
sources PSE S.A., planning the development of the National Transmission System, undertakes
activities aiming at the fulfilment of the requirements specified in the government documents -
"Energy Policy of Poland till 2030" and "National Renewable Energy Action Plan" (further on: KPD).
3sCE417P3 – 3.3 Assessment of Energy Transfer Potential Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts
Presently, the capacity of wind farms connected to the Public Power System is around 2,200 MW.
PSE and Operators of Distribution Systems specified the conditions for the connection for wind farms
with the total capacity of over 17 GW (including PSE in the amount of ca. 6.7 GW), and concluded
agreements for the connection for wind farms with the capacity of over 13 GW (including PSE
amounting to 4 GW). The sum of the above capacities significantly exceeds the level resulting from
the ratios adopted in the government documents, i.e. both in "Polish Energy Policy" and in KPD. It is
worth emphasising that the construction of at least a half of the aforementioned capacities coming
from wind farms will guarantee fulfilment of the requirements put before Poland in the EU climate
and energy package. The development of the transmission grid planned in the current PRSP will also
enable the connection, till 2020, marine wind farms with the capacity indicated in KPD, i.e. ca. 500
MW.13
According to PSE S.A., technical conditions after the realisation of the development of the
transmission grid, planned till 2020, will allow to connect and transmit power from marine wind
farms with the capacity of up to ca. 1,000 MW. The location of new generating sources planned for
connection to the transmission grid in the current development plan of the transmission grid is
presented in picture 9.

In Poland, from among renewable energy sources the wind energy engineering is developing
the most intensively. According to the data of the Energy Regulatory Office as at the end of
September 2012 in Poland there were 663 wind farms with the total capacity of 2,341 MW. The most
wind farms are located in north-western areas of Poland. The leader is the Zachodniopomorskie
province (716.8 MW), then Pomorskie province (246.9 MW) and Wielkopolskie (245.3 MW). Wind
energy engineering presently constitutes 57.6% of all the electricity renewable sources. It took the
first place among the renewable energy sources already in 2009.14

In theory, this power should be sufficient to ensure the continuity and security of supply of
power and electricity to Mazovia, in particular to Warsaw. However, in recent years serious power
failure during the summer season have occurred in Warsaw, which is now more vulnerable to
failures. This is due to the planned maintenance and withdrawal of power, e.g. in CHP Warsaw
power available for the summer is only about 201 MWe and in winter- 811 MWe. In addition, any
repairs, especially regarding unplanned unit failures in Kozienice or Ostrołęka cause lack of power. It
should be stated that the demand for electric power in summer peak in Warsaw ( 1100 MWe ) is
3sCE417P3 – 3.3 Assessment of Energy Transfer Potential Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts
getting closer to the winter peak ( 1400 MWe ), which is thought to be caused by a huge increase in
the needs of air conditioning systems (offices, business services, private homes ).
According to the public statistics papers (GUS, ARE) the power installed in electricity sources
in the Mazowieckie province in 2011 reached 5,086.5 MW, including the power installed in RES
sources totalling to 180.90 MW. The gross production of electricity in the Mazowieckie province in
2011 amounted to 22,408.2 GWh.15
In the opinion expressed in the Development Strategy of the Mazowieckie Provin16ce till
2030, the total electrical capacity of electricity sources of the Mazowieckie province is not sufficient
in relation to the forecast needs for 2020-2030. Therefore, in Mazovia there is no surplus of energy
generated from renewable sources.

In the Mazowieckie province electricity from PV installations is generated in a very small amount, so
data of the daily peaks from the PV production is not available.

Figure 2. Transfer of energy between Poland and Sweden (Source: www.pse.pl)
In the Mazovia region the percentage of the production of electricity and heat energy from
renewable sources is very small, therefore there is no possibility of transferring energy surpluses to
adjacent regions. Energy is generated mainly in system power plants in Kozienice and Ostrołęka
located in the Mazovia region and is imported from neighbouring regions.
Summing up, the supply of the Mazowieckie province with electricity is performed mainly
based on classical system power plants located in the province and beyond it. Combined heat and
power plants and local power plants operating in the distribution networks of high voltage, 110 kV,
are of importance as well. The total electrical power from the energy sources existing in the Mazovia
region is insufficient in relation to the forecast needs of the province, and most of the generating
devices in the system power plants exceeded the age of 30 and should be replaced with modern,
highly efficient and low emission energy sources. In the Mazovia region the transmission networks of
the extra high voltage, 400 and 220 kV, and some of the superlocal 110 kV voltage distribution
networks do not guarantee the required capacity of energy transmission and reliability of operation,
they are also unevenly distributed.
3sCE417P3 – 3.3 Assessment of Energy Transfer Potential Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts
An important power supply point of the power transmission system is an unclosed ring of the
extra high voltage lines around Warsaw. Lack of this connection results in the fact that the Warsaw
agglomeration is exposed to a risk of an extensive system failure.
In connection with that it should be pursued to establish a ring connection by the realisation
of 400 kV line system in the following relation: Miłosna – Siedlce – Ujrzanów – Kozienice – Ołtarzew.
A problem for the power system is also an unsatisfactory technical condition of distribution systems
(in particular in rural areas) and lack of a high voltage network in some parts of the province, where
the supply with energy is performed using long, overloaded and unreliable medium voltage lines.
In order to prevent a risk of energy deficiency and growth in the number of failures (expected
already in the perspective of coming years) and reduction in the nuisance for the environment,
transmission and distribution systems of electricity require undertaking numerous investment
actions within their extension and modernisation. A wider use of RES will allow to enhance the local
supply with energy through its production closer to the end user and reduce losses caused by a bad
condition of energy grids. 17
