Energy mix optimisation — Case study for Poland

Abstract

The paper proposed refers to the optimization tool that can provide an invaluable help in energy policy development, leading to the right energy mix. It includes the analysis of the model of energy mix optimization developed at the Department for Strategic Analyses at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland. As an addition the paper provides the description of modifications and upgrades, developed by the author, that make the model more useful for simulations of energy policy assumptions. In the end, the paper presents a set of simulation scenarios for energy mix in Poland, relating to the EU energy and climate policy.
