PERSPECTIVES FOR ENERGY DEVELOPMENT IN POLAND AND IN THE EUROPEAN UNION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL: RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Summary/Abstract: The European Green Deal is a development strategy which aims to transform the EuropeanUnion into a climate-neutral area by 2050. Due to the scale of reforms it envisages, it is consideredthe largest legislative initiative in the history of the European Union. The research aims to analysethe prospects for energy development in Poland and in the European Union in the context of theEuropean Green Deal, with a particular focus on potential ways to increase the share of renewableenergy sources and improve energy efficiency.Given the highly disparate environmental and socio-economic conditions, a number of EUcountries will find it challenging to meet the ambitious requirements of the European Green Deal.Additionally, considering the huge impact of the Coronavirus pandemic and the war betweenRussia and Ukraine, the use of a sustainable energy security concept seems justified, as it takesinto account the socio-technical specificities of individual states. A predictable energy and climatepolicy consistent with the EU’s objectives may facilitate Poland’s fair transition towards sustainabledevelopment.
