How to develop investments in renewable energy sources, so that clean, emission-free, energy from RES does not go to waste, and so that the funds invested in the development of energy based on RES generate as much efficiently used energy as possible?

In April 2024, the European Union reached a historically record level of 33.8 percent share of clean energy. Wind and solar power dominated this share in terms of RES energy generated. There is still a high level of variation across countries in the European Union in the share of clean energy based on renewable and zero-emission energy sources.

In Norway, for example, the share of clean energy from RES is as high as 98 percent on average, while in Poland it is only 27.1 percent. In April 2024, only about one-third of the energy generated in the European Union came from dirty energy based on combustion power, where energy was generated from burning fossil fuels, mainly coal, lignite and gas.

In April 2024, Poland, too, saw a historically record amount of energy generated from RES at 30 percent of the total energy mix. Solar and wind power dominated this 30 percent of renewable and carbon-free energy sources. From wind it was half of this 30 percent. However, due to insufficient investments made over the last few decades of time in the development of transmission grids, much of this energy generated from wind and solar, i.e. from the cheapest sources of energy and at the same time clean, emission-free energy, was not accepted by power companies from prosumers and simply went to waste. Since there are large losses of produced and unused energy from RES sources, it means that the investments made earlier in the development of emission-free and renewable energy sources are also partially wasted. In Poland, the large power companies dominating the energy sector, which still generate energy mainly through combustion power from burning coal and lignite, invest too little in the development of transmission networks and storage facilities for the energy generated. However, thanks to the financial subsidies unblocked by the European Union, also granted to Poland as part of the National Economic Recovery Plan after the pandemic economic crisis of 2020, it will be possible to accelerate the processes of green energy transformation. A large part of the European Union countries have already benefited from these subsidies for 2 years.

I have described the key issues concerning the problems of green transformation of the economy in the following article:

The key issues of the problematic sources of Poland's exceptionally deep energy cross in 2022 are described in my co-authored article below:

I invite you to familiarize yourself with the issues described in the above-mentioned publications, as well as to scientific cooperation in these issues.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

How to develop investments in renewable energy sources, so that clean, emission-free, RES energy does not go to waste, and so that the funds invested in the development of RES-based energy generates as much efficiently used energy as possible?
