Energetická transformace Polska v kontextu členství země v EU

This thesis examines Poland's ongoing energy transition in the context of the country's membership in the European Union. The thesis aims to find out to what extent the current Polish economy is able to undergo the energy transition and achieve national climate targets set by the European Union. The work presents the historical development of the Polish energy sector and the EU energy policy. Furthermore, it discusses Poland's energy mix and the country's climate and energy targets for 2020 and 2030. This is followed by particular pillars of the energy transition according to the national energy strategy PEP 2040 and key projects included in the strategy. Attention is also paid to the energy security aspect of Poland in the context of the war in Ukraine. The last part of the thesis evaluates Poland's ability to achieve climate neutrality by the middle of this century and presents the challenges that prevent Poland from accelerating its energy transition. To summarize the findings about energy transition, the thesis employs a SWOT analysis.
