POSSIBILITIES TO CREATE AUTONOMOUS ENERGY REGIONS USING RENEWABLE ENERGYRESOURCES

Abstract

The aim of the study is to analyze the level of energy self-sufficiency at the regional and local level. Atthe level of voivodships, the production of electricity, its relation to the energy consumed, the volume anddynamics of changes in the production of renewable energy in 2010-2016 and its share in total productionare presented. Autonomous energy regions have been characterized as structures allowing to strive forenergy self-sufficiency. The tests and analyzes used a comparative method and a breakdown of individualcategories according to the analyzed values. As a result of the conducted analyzes, it was found that animportant role in achieving energy self-sufficiency will be performed by micro and small installationsbased on local resources.
