Summary/Abstract: The last few years have brought many changes to the shape of the energy sector in Poland. Diversification of directions and sources of energy has long had its place in the policy of energy and ecological security not only in Poland, but also in the European Union. The question is how Poland coped with adapting the energy market to the EU’s low- or zero-emission policy, how it coped with the reduction of supplies of raw materials from Russia, how it coped with the rising prices of raw materials. A crisis situation can turn into a success for an enterprise (in this case, the state) if actions are taken in a quick, effective and time-sensitive manner, both in the short and long term. The second element is the state’s wealth in raw materials, subjective resources (relations at the local, regional, national and international level) as well as an efficiently functioning mechanism and structure that skillfully distributes tasks. Specifying tasks and separating responsibilities allows for verification of activities and meticulous evaluation of them. Also the so-called circumstantial factors cannot be omitted, that constitute the components of the existing situation and give a full picture of it (crisis dominated by internal or external factors).
