The Importance of Renewable Energy Sources in Poland's Energy Transformation Process Using the Example of PGE

Abstract

Energy transition is one of the key calls for contemporary global economies, and renewable energy sources play a significant role. The article presents the importance of RES in the context of their impact on energy security, the economy, the environment, and society. It analyses global as well as national development trends in renewable energy. It focuses on the example of the Polish Energy Group (PGE), which is implementing an ambitious strategy for the development of low- and zero-emission sources. Advantages such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the creation of jobs are presented, as well as challenges such as production instability or spatial constraints. The aim of the article is to show the role of RES in the process of Poland's energy transformation and the importance of measures taken by enterprises.
