“…In general, theorists in the field of energy taxes also emphasise their favouring of behavioural flexibility on the demand and supply side of energy carrier markets [20]. Finally, it devotes a great deal of space to the use of simplified uniform tax rates and the abandonment of exemptions from these public tributes [21]. This is to counteract the so-called implicit crosssubsidies of richer consumers by poorer ones and the scaled up investments in renewables.…”

For the European Union, the course of the Community’s energy and climate policy as well as changes in the objectives and priorities of the Common Agricultural Policy, as reflected, among others, in rural development programs subject to ex ante, environmental and ex post evaluation, should be considered. Individual EU countries are still implementing their own programs focused on improving energy efficiency, energy modernisation and supporting renewable energy, and they also intervene in the energy market on an ad hoc basis, as was the case after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. This article fits into such a broadly understood research perspective, and its primary goal is to identify the impact of the costs of energy consumption and the reimbursement of excise tax on motor fuels on the operational durability and financial sustainability of 103 farms belonging to the Polish FADN network, which in 2017–2021 implemented modernisation projects under the rural development program. Logistic and linear multivariate regression were used to estimate the strength, direction and significance of correlation relationships. It was found that relative energy costs were significantly negatively correlated with financial sustainability only in the linear model, while the impact of excise tax return was positive but not significant. Thus, an empirical proof of the advisability of a possible public intervention aimed at making farmers’ access to energy cheaper was obtained. All public interventions in agricultural energy use should be subject to careful and systematic ex ante, mid-term and ex post assessments based on sound program theory. It is necessary to identify the cause-and-effect chains, in which the regression proposed in the article may be helpful.

“…In addition, with the application of energy tariffs, the economic feasibility of renewable energy deployment might be challenged by the significant gap between feed-in and retail rates. P2P energy trading could maximize the benefits by reducing the production surplus on the condition that bidirectional physical and financial flows are enabled to satisfy the functional requirements of a smart grid [9]. In terms of secure energy trading, the existing centralized energy grid also suffers from cybersecurity concerns, as private information and sensitive energy-consuming data are exposed and shared among engaged intermediaries during transactions, which might result in a higher risk of data tampering and privacy leakage [10].…”

The rapid growth of distributed renewable energy penetration is promoting the evolution of the energy system toward decentralization and decentralized and digitized smart grids. This study was based on energy blockchain, and developed a dual-biding mechanism based on the real-time energy surplus and demand in the local smart grid, which is expected to enable reliable, affordable, and clean energy supply in smart communities. In the proposed system, economic benefits could be achieved by replacing fossil-fuel-based electricity with the high penetration of affordable solar PV electricity. The reduction of energy surplus realized by distributed energy production and P2P energy trading, within the smart grid results in less transmission loss and lower requirements for costly upgrading of existing grids. By adopting energy blockchain and smart contract technologies, energy secure trading with a low risk of privacy leakage could be accommodated. The prototype is examined through a case study, and the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed mechanism are further validated by scenario analysis.
