Analysis, opinions, dialogue.
Acting for the energy transition.
We are a European and interdisciplinary
think tank from Poland.
We created Forum Energii to provide reliable knowledge and support the energy transition.
We initiate dialogue, propose proven solutions based on knowledge and reliable data, and look after our country's and Europe's energy security. We inspire action for a fair, secure and effective energy transition. We carry out our mission through analysis, opinion and dialogue. We propose changes that are socially and economically justified.
Our vision is a climate-neutral world where energy is zero-carbon based and accessible to everyone.
Our Programmes
Power
We identify the most important challenges facing the power sector in Poland and globally. We analyse how to safely and cost-effectively change the generation mix and how to plan the energy transition process to use renewable sources and other zero-carbon technologies. We describe the technical and economic feasibility of the energy transition in an accessible way.
Renewables
We explore opportunities for the development of renewable energy sources. We look for the best solutions to increase the share of clean energy in the economy and improve energy security. We focus on integrating clean technologies into the electricity system with consideration of costs, technical capabilities and the need to electrify other sectors of the economy.
Heating
The heating sector in Poland comprises hundreds of district heating systems and millions of individual heating appliances. Today, these are mostly outdated and inefficient. In the programme, we are looking for optimal solutions- those that will ensure access to heat and at the same time lead to climate neutrality and improved air quality in Poland.
Industry
We analyse the broad industrial sector from both a climate-energy and social-economy perspective. We identify the potential for electrification and other technological processes in various industries, changes to which will enable rapid and cost-acceptable reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Energy Transition Financing
The energy transition is a very expensive process. It therefore requires very thoughtful measures and rational investment financing. In this programme, we suggest how to spend available funds wisely and for the right purposes.
International
Programme
The energy transition has an international dimension - on several levels, although the starting point and specifics of each country are different. We operate in a world full of dependencies. In the International Program, we create and propose solutions that enhance energy security, support technology development, digitalization and knowledge sharing.
Cities
Cities - is a programme that supports local governments and city dwellers in diagnosing the challenges they face in moving towards climate neutrality. Together, we prepare solutions for clean air, energy security and the prevention of fuel poverty.
Part of the Cities programme is 'LeadAir' - an education and advisory project for local governments.

Secure and solidarity-based transition. Tasks for the Polish EU Presidency
This workshop organised by Forum Energii, Bruegel and ECFR aims to explore a new approach to energy security in European Union and in Ukraine that addresses these emerging challenges and opportunities and will serve as a critical platform for stakeholders to exchange ideas, and develop strategies how to ensure energy security in a changing world.
When 14 October 2024
Where Kyiv
The conference aims to showcase the variety of challenges, as well as solutions, that can be employed to approach the transition in an effective and equitable way. This will be done by presenting work from four continents, including by governments in Europe (Poland), Asia (Indonesia), the Americas (Brazil), and Africa (South Africa). The conference is organised to advance the discussion among experts from the energy sector, administration, science institutions, and civil society organisations from Poland and around the world. This international conference is organised on the occasion of the Annual Meeting of the International Network of Energy Transition Think Tanks (INETTT) in Warsaw.
