Stakeholders:
An important member of the regional network is Pomeranian Marshal’s Office, confirming this way its support for ENNEREG activities. Also, two other energy agencies have joined the network - newly established Association of Regional Energy Management Agency in the Vistula River Valley, located in Kwidzyn, 100km far from Gdańsk, and Energy Agency of Warminsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship, which will be the ENNEREG Twin region for Pomorskie Voivodeship.

Sustainable Energy in
Pomorskie Voivodeship

Regional Strategy For Energy Development lists the following goals:
- Energy efficiency
- Increase in RES exploitation
- Reduction of GHG emissions
The Pomeranian Province (Pomorskie Voivodeship) is situated in the North of Poland, on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. The Region borders on the East with the Russian Federation. The province has 316 km of coastline, which constitutes about 60% of the whole coastline of the country.
Pomerania also has borders with four other provinces: West-Pomerania, Greater Poland, Kujawy-Pomerania and Warmia-Mazury.
The capital of the Province is Gdańsk – a city with a history spanning more than 1000 years. But now the role of metropolis is played by the Tri-City agglomeration created from the three cities located in the Bay of Gdańsk: Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot. Their combined population of nearly 750,000 inhabitants amounts to one-third of the population of the province. Gdynia is a modern port and a dynamically developing area since the 90s; the city itself was established in 1926. Sopot is a seaside resort, centre of culture and an area with a developing modern services sector. 43% of the province’s economy is concentrated in the Tri-City. It acts as a very important transport junction and it is the largest academic and scientific centre of the Northern Poland, as well as the main cultural centre.

Environmental conditions and geographic location influence the most the following branches of economy: marine economy, agriculture, forestry, fishery, fish processing industry, energy sector and tourism. In 2007 forests covered 676.6 thousand hectares (36%). Rural areas accounted in 01.01.2005 for 942 562 ha, what is equal to 51.53% of the province area.
Larger energy producers include: two public combined heat and power (CHP) plants in Gdańsk and Gdynia, industrial plants Kwidzyn (International Paper), Starogard Gdański (Polfarma) and at the Refinery in Gdańsk. They all produce electric energy and heat in cogeneration. Total energy production of the above mentioned plants is equal to 2 300 GWh. Moreover, over 10 wind farms are operated in the Province with the total power output over 150 MW (2010).
Thermal power installed at the CHP plants and district boilers rooms was equal to 5 882 MW in 2007, including:
- CHP plants in Gdańsk and Gdynia = app. 1 196 MW, including biomass co-firing equal to 46 MW;
- industrial CHP plants equal to 350 MW, including app. 80 MW in International Paper factory in Kwidzyn, fuelled with wood residues;
- heat sources working in cogeneration, i.e. using gas turbines linked to the electric energy generators to burn natural gas, and recovering heat energy from the combustion gases. Such systems are in operation in Wladyslawowo (app. 10 MW) and Gdansk-Matarnia (app. 11 MW).
- district boilers equal to app. 1 300 MW, including: 110 biomass boilers with the total output of app. 70 MW (app. 30 MW – straw and app. 40 MW – wood and its residues).
- individual boilers exploited in all municipalities and communes of the province. Their number is estimated at: about 135 thousand in rural areas and about 45 thousand in municipalities.
Heat demand by sectors:
- residential housing – 67%
- industry – 18%
- public utility buildings – 9%
- facilities – 6%
Regional Strategy For Energy Development lists the following goals:
- Energy efficiency
- Increase in RES exploitation
- Reduction of GHG emissions
A Regional Strategy for Energy Development including RES for the period 2007-2025 has been prepared, however, it is not equivalent to the Sustainable Energy Action Plan. It does not include any information about CO2 or other greenhouse gases emissions. The strategy doesn't define 2020 targets.
Five communes of Pomeranian Region, Gdynia, Gniewino, Hel, Kościerzyna and Władysławowo, signed the Covenant of Mayors during the Pomeranian Energy Days on 15th to 17th April, 2011.
