Utilization of the Hydroelectric Potential of the Pomorskie Voivodship
Utilization of the Hydroelectric Potential of the Pomorskie Voivodship

Summary/Abstract: One of the sources of electricity used by humans is water. The idea of hydroelectric power plants is increasingly appreciated by local governments, particularly in the context of sustainable development and EU directives that encourage the construction of green power plants. The article examines the energy situation in the Pomorskie Voivodship, noting that more than half of the energy consumed in the region is produced outside its area, leading to transmission losses. The study analyzes over 300 potential locations for hydropower plants in the region, taking into account both natural and anthropogenic conditions. The hydroelectric potential of the voivodship is estimated, and the best locations for future hydropower plants are identified. The findings highlight the need for greater investment in hydroelectric infrastructure to improve the region’s energy independence and sustainability.
