CONTROVERSIES OVER POLISH ENERGY POLICY IN THE CONTEXT OF IMPLEMENTING THE EUROPEAN UNION REQUIREMENTS

Abstract

The issues connected with ensuring energy supply and securing its carriers determine the real development opportunities in the future. Therefore, energy policy has been developed both at the EU and member states level. Polish energy policy includes the requirements of the EU policy, but the characteristics of our economy and the possessed energy resources cause some problems with its implementation. For this reason, the principal objective of this article is to show the controversies related to the implementation of the Polish energy policy in the context of existing conditions.
