The aim of this paper is to estimate the area of power plants based on renewables (photovoltaic panels) for the case where public transport in Warsaw would be fulfilled by electric buses instead of combustion buses. The analysis are in extreme variant when all combustion buses were exchanged for electric buses and the power demand was completely covered from photovoltaics. Calculations are based on weather data from weather station placed in the center of Warsaw, also public data and information of parameters of electric buses which were tested in urban conditions. Results for different seasons are shown in comparison to the area of the city of Warsaw district.
