Poland is making a significant investment in hot rock geothermal energy. From 2020 to 2028, the government has set aside PLN 708 million to fund geothermal exploration nationwide.
Of the seven companies that submitted winning bids for geothermal leases, Invenergy Geothermal Development LLC acquired five leases, the most of the companies that successfully bid on the geothermal leases.
