Poland proposes state-led mining transformation plan with new plenipotentiary

Deputy Energy Minister Marian Zmarzły outlined a plan for comprehensive state management of Poland's mining sector transformation, including appointing a government plenipotentiary to oversee strategy, restructuring financing, and coordination with the energy sector. This marks a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive state control, though details on funding and timeline remain unspecified. The move signals potential policy continuity and could affect coal phase-out pace and energy transition costs.
