Tauron To Supply Over 17,000 MWh Of Renewable Energy To Katowice Airport In Poland Over The Next Year

Over 17,000 megawatt-hours of renewable energy from Tauron will be supplied to Katowice International Airport in Pyrzowice over the next year, marking a significant step toward decarbonising one of Poland’s busiest regional aviation hubs. The airport, which handles both passenger and cargo traffic, plays a key role in supporting tourism and regional connectivity. The entire contracted electricity volume will be covered by renewable energy guarantees issued by Tauron Polska Energia, ensuring that the power supplied to the airport is matched with verified generation from renewable sources.

According to estimates, the use of this volume of green electricity will help avoid more than 8,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions over the contract period, contributing to measurable reductions in the airport’s carbon footprint. Tauron has stated that more than one million megawatt-hours of renewable energy from its wind farms, solar installations, and hydropower plants will be delivered this year to businesses and institutions across Poland. The company emphasizes that its flexible energy supply and contracting models are designed not only to help customers manage energy costs more efficiently, but also to support long-term decarbonisation strategies by increasing the share of renewables in their energy mix.

According to Krzysztof Czaja, Vice President of the Management Board of Tauron Sprzedaż, the company is proud to support major public infrastructure with clean energy solutions. He highlighted that renewable energy guarantees of origin allow customers to transparently confirm the renewable nature of their electricity consumption and demonstrate verifiable reductions in carbon emissions in line with regulatory standards.

The Upper Silesian Aviation Group, which manages Katowice International Airport, has contracted more than 17 GWh of electricity from Tauron for the coming year, along with guarantees of origin sourced from the company’s renewable energy portfolio. These guarantees certify that the electricity consumed corresponds to production from wind, solar, and hydropower facilities, as verified by Poland’s energy regulatory framework.

Guarantees of origin are officially issued by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office and serve as formal documentation confirming that a specific volume of electricity has been generated from renewable sources. They play an important role in enabling organisations to credibly report emissions reductions and demonstrate compliance with sustainability and ESG reporting requirements.

Tauron continues to expand its renewable energy portfolio, which has reached an installed capacity of over 1,024 MW across various clean energy sources. Alongside Katowice International Airport, the company’s renewable electricity is also powering several prominent landmarks and institutions in Poland, including the Spodek Arena, the International Congress Centre in Katowice, and the Wawel Royal Castle. This development reflects a broader trend of increasing corporate and institutional adoption of renewable energy sourcing, particularly through certified guarantees of origin, as organisations seek to reduce emissions, improve sustainability performance, and align with long-term climate goals.
