“…In view of the above, the authors believe that it is worth strengthening or remodelling the dimension of educational undertakings in the RES area, taking into account the broad promotion of solutions applicable at the level of individual households, as this may improve the practical interest of investors in these solutions in the country, which has been pointed out among the determinants of consumers' investments in the RES sphere, articulating the need for research in this area [80]. The above conclusion coincides with the position noted in the literature about the need for changes in the formula of knowledge transfer [29,81] on the topic of RES potential [82] and its active promotion [83]. Hence, the creation of educational programmes dedicated to different social groups would be worth considering.…”

RES Market Development and Public Awareness of the Economic and Environmental Dimension of the Energy Transformation in Poland and Lithuania

2022

Energy transformation in the European Union countries is progressing. Its scope is defined by formal and legal regulations and its effectiveness by the position of decision-makers, legitimised by public support for a particular type of challenge. Both issues are the focus of this article. The promotion of environmental protection measures is currently strongly promoted globally. Hence the widespread acceptance in principle of the changes associated with the implementing of the Green New Deal in the energy sector is not surprising. However, to what extent is knowledge of the solutions constituting the mainstream transition (renewable energy sources) ingrained among communities? Does the level of public awareness influence individual consumer choices, modelling the market? The threads outlined above inspired deliberations focused on analysing the assumptions behind energy transition in the EU, with particular reference to the countries directly bordering the line of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine (Poland, Lithuania), in the light of the resulting and escalating restrictions exacerbating the energy crisis. The immediate neighbourhood of the adopted countries, and their similar socio-economic conditions, provided the basis for comparisons and conclusions. The motivation for the choice of the issue and research area was to fill the clear information gap in this study area, strictly in relation to the adopted configuration of these countries. The research proceedings in the outlined area were primarily based on the methodology appropriate for capture and analysis of economic phenomena, enriched with the results of our own findings (questionnaire survey regarding general knowledge of the ZE market and consumer preferences), in order to assess the economic and environmental dimensions of energy transition in Poland and Lithuania and to assess the level of public awareness in this respect in the countries under study. The presented research is an important complementary element of the authors’ series of studies devoted to the analysis of the development of the renewable energy market in Poland and the Baltic States, related to the individual dimensions of RES. Their results give rise to the conclusion that increased social awareness in these countries determines the popularisation of RES solutions in individual use, regardless of their type, stimulating the progress of the energy transformation process.

“…The information about the amount of produced energy was not available, therefore, in this study we refer only to theoretical potential of energy production (renewable energy capacity) based on the relation between installed power potential and average efficiency of each type of renewable energy installation in Polish conditions. Based on the literature review, the average efficiency was assumed as follows: • Biomass energy-87% (Igliński et al, 2015(Igliński et al, , 2022.…”

Considering unpredictable and hastily evolving tipping points (like the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing climate crisis and the war in Ukraine), it is clear that sustainable energy transition and utilization of locally sourced renewable energies must be in the heart of both national, regional, and local energy systems. However, if we take a closer look at the actions undertaken at the local (communal) level, we see enormous diversity of patterns, prerequisites, and implications that drive and affect spatial deployment of renewable energies. Therefore, our research targets to better comprehend the question if individual communities are comparatively involved in the energy transition. We also ask whether the demand and supply of renewable energy is territorially balanced and how these differences (if any) can be justified. We are framing our research by the concepts of energy justice and ecological debt. We thoroughly explore and asses the renewable energy balance on the level of individual communities which is based on data on the installed power capacity potentials and energy consumption in local administration units in Poland (380). Spatial distribution and discrepancies in the deployment of the renewable energy creditors and the renewable energy debtors are detected. Noticeable disproportions were identified among communities where improved utilization of local potential of renewable energy could exceed energy demand (29% of communities). This result is contrasting with communities (71% of communities) that can be, on the other hand, classified as renewable energy debtors. We claim that insufficient support (institution, regulatory, and financial) for expanding local renewable energy systems is a clear barrier when adapting to the climate crisis by balancing the energy demand and supply at the local level.

“…In accordance with the EU policy, all member states are obliged to reach climate-neutral and zero-carbon economies by the year 2050. The diversification of the used energy sources, with a predominance of renewable energy sources (RES) will be the basis of the future energy transition ( Igliński et al, 2022).…”

Purpose:The purpose of the article is to examine whether there are correlations between the level of socio-economic development of the voivodeships and energy prices as well as the amount of energy (coal, electricity and gas) consumed by households in the period from 1999 to 2022. Design/Methodology/Approach: The data source for the performed analysis is the Local Data Bank of Statistics of Poland. A taxonomic analysis, a non-pattern method, was used for the study. Seventeen variables were analysed over the study period. They were divided into development variables: economic (3 variables), social (8 variables) and technical (6 variables). Findings: It was observed that with the increase in the level of socio-economic development, energy prices and the amount of consumed energy increased. The social component of the level of socio-economic development shows a decrease in energy prices as the social level increases. In the case of the economic and technical components, an increase in that level is observed. When analysing the amount of consumed energy, an increase in energy consumption with the increase in the level of socio-economic development is noticed. Furthermore, in the case of electricity, the index of the dynamics of energy consumption decreases as the level of socio-economic development of the voivodeships increases. Practical Implications:The results of the study can be used as recommendations for regional development policies based on energy sources, depending on the level of development of individual Polish voivodeships. Originality/Value: Based on the conducted analysis, an increase in the level of socioeconomic development in the period under review was found.
