This article attempts to identify the key forces driving successful digitalization of energy sector, ensuring improvements in triangle including sustainability, stability, and economic performance. The sheds light on diverse priorities at supra-, national, managerial levels, role achieving these objectives. Catching up economies (such as Poland), being post-socialist EU member states, order transform its energetic must overcome a number infrastructural social shortcomings retained legacy socialist economy. As such, sustainability (as core priority agenda) may not be leading objective both national company level sector transformation. presents results empirical research carried out through distribution e-questionnaire addressed Polish managers from sector. were analyzed using fsQCA method. findings suggest that, for managers, most important drivers transformation Poland are high performance, together with support prosumers consumers. prerequisites alternatively absence management barriers, or combination performance strong focus environmental protection. Surprisingly, according surveyed, rapid implementation new technologies is considered vital condition digital which implies either lack knowledge this area and/or reluctance introduce technologies.

Empirical Assessment of the Efficiency of Poland’s Energy Transition Process in the Context of Implementing the European Union’s Energy Policy

Energies, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 17(11), С. 2689 - 2689

Опубликована: Июнь 1, 2024

This article addresses one of the contemporary economy’s most challenging endeavors: energy transition. Specifically, aim study was to assess effectiveness Poland’s transition process between 2004 and 2021. A comprehensive approach is employed analyze process, focusing on implementation through Energy Transition Effectiveness Index. methodology incorporates four dimensions, namely security, economic considerations, climate impact, social aspects, each characterized by 22 sub-indices. The research employs a two-tiered based multi-criteria decision making methodology. EDAS method utilized determine indices’ values, while CRITIC, equal weights, statistical variance methods Laplace’s criterion are ascertain sub-indices values dimension particularly useful for under uncertainty. Moreover, relationship these indices, Index, Gross Domestic Product explored. By evaluating from 2021 comparing results with other European Union countries, it becomes evident that varies over time. Despite encountering challenges during sector’s transformation, Poland exhibits positive progress in its efforts, outperforming certain counterparts. However, there pressing need intensify efforts curtail emissions enhance renewable utilization. Union’s support coordination deemed crucial facilitating endeavors, alongside fostering wider adoption best practices among member states. developed stands as valuable tool ongoing evaluation transformation processes across nations.

The role of energy policy on the decoupling processes in the European Union countries

Journal of Cleaner Production, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 318, С. 128484 - 128484

Опубликована: Июль 29, 2021

The study offers thorough analysis of the impact European Union (EU) energy policy on decoupling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from economic growth between 1996 and 2017. Two types GHG measurements, production-based accounting (PBA) consumption-based (CBA), are used to account for possible outsourcing with Tapio framework. Five factors taken Log-Mean Divisia Index considered in order determine main contributors emission mitigation. results demonstrate almost all countries, regardless type measurements. However, case emissions, occurs faster. After 2005, when EU launches its policy, speeds up. LMDI indicate that improvements intensity structure most significant drivers reduction. There differences reduction two determinants old new countries. In countries is linked but partly comes at expense outsourcing, i.e. relocation emission-intensive industries outside EU.

The European Union (EU) is a global leader in renewable energy, and it working to maintain this position through setting high standards for itself as well its member states field. Among the goals set 2030 Directive 2018/2001 changes published on 14 July 2021 55% reduction greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (compared 20% 2020). targets individual countries vary depend current level of development energy. This article focuses evaluation these Visegrad Group (V4) (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia). These are post-Communist that have undergone systemic transformations but still face challenges related sustainable analyzes prospects their implementation. Evaluated criteria include emissions, share energy consumption, efficiency, intensity. analyses based literature review, situation each country, climate targets, comparative analyses, our own forecasts. Our results show V4 would need revise policies funds allocated green transformation, which, turn, might change projections EU package 2030. findings be useful stakeholders policymakers responsible implementing targets.
