Management of Civic Energy and the Green Transformation: A Case Study of Poland

An increase in the global demand for energy, combined with an increase in the price of energy and energy products, has advanced the growing interest in renewable energy technologies and the wide implementation of renewable energy sources (RES). Member States of the European Union have been global leaders in the use of renewable energy and in the transition to new technologies. Management of Civic Energy and the Green Transformation: A Case Study of Poland examines the current issues of transitioning from traditional energy sources to newer, renewable energy sources, while balancing supplies, and working synergistically with existing, conventional sources.

Features:

• Offers a balanced blend of theory and practice of development economics for renewable energy implementation

• Presents a case study of how Poland is working towards their energy transition, and provides other examples and recent statistical data from other European Union countries

• Analyses the legal and systemic conditions supporting the development of renewable energy systems and offers direction on the potential for the green development of the civic energy sector
