Streszczenie
When joining the EU, Poland, like all the other Member States, committed to adapting to EU requirements, including
in the area of energy sources. In this context, a crucial question arises regarding the state's role in sharing the costs borne by
the main players in energy-related industries. Thus, the aim of the study was to assess the alignment of state aid policy for
energy in Poland with EU objectives in the context of energy transition. To this end, we conducted a statistical analysis of the
evolution of such support in Poland. We found out that Polish state aid interventions for energy were mainly focused on
addressing immediate problems, while far fewer have been supported to promote clean technologies in a long term.
