Poland invokes emergency grid capacity powers for second time in three days amid heatwave

Poland's national power grid operator, PSE, has activated emergency grid capacity measures for the second time in three days and the third time this summer due to a severe heatwave. This marks an unusual frequency of such actions, with only five instances recorded since the measures were first introduced in 2018. The current heatwave has driven up electricity demand, particularly from air conditioning and refrigeration, while also causing extreme drought conditions that have lowered river water levels, disrupting cooling systems at power plants. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has reassured citizens that the situation remains under control, citing improvements in renewable energy infrastructure. The measures involve requesting electricity generators to boost production and urging large consumers to reduce usage during peak hours.
