During a debate held at the offices of *Puls Biznesu*, experts discussed the direction in which the Polish energy sector is heading, and whether the pace of the transition and the strategies adopted will enable the country to achieve its climate targets and ensure energy security.

Maciej Wyczesany, Chairman of the Management Board of Apator SA, took part in a strategic meeting organised by the THINKTANK Leaders Hub entitled ‘Poland’s development strategy up to 2035 and the risks of Poland’s energy transition’. The meeting took place on 16 October 2025 in Sopot during the European Forum for New Ideas.

- In recent years, we have allocated a significant portion of our capital expenditure to the purchase and development of our machinery and the automation of production processes. “This is a deliberate response to growing cost pressures, including the rapid rise in the minimum wage, and a way to maintain the competitiveness and profitability of our products and services,” Sławomir Migała, Chief Operating Officer of Apator SA, told the WNP.PL portal.

- The digitisation and automation of networks present a huge opportunity, but also a serious threat. “The lack of verified technologies in critical infrastructure could, in the long term, prove to be a massive problem for national security,” said Maciej Wyczesany, Chairman of the Management Board of Apator SA, in an interview with WNP.PL. The interview was published as part of Apator SA’s patronage of the special report “Networks under pressure – investments in critical infrastructure”.

On 3 October 2023, Enea Operator connected an industrial energy storage facility to the low voltage grid in Bydgoszcz.

The distributed energy model in the energy sector is not merely capable of developing, but must do so – argued the participants in the panel discussion ‘Local energy balancing: a path to energy self-sufficiency for local authorities and energy security for local residents’ during the Polish Towns Forum.
