Analysis, opinions, dialogue.

Acting for the energy transition.

Webinar: EU Together

Joint, cost-effective actions to fully end dependence on Russian fuels

Join us!

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 Today, these are mostly outdated and inefficient.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.

People, Cities, Regions

We create and promote solutions to ensure that the transition away from fossil fuels benefits all citizens and citizens, including those who are less well-off and experience various types of exclusion. We combine local action with the shaping of effective national policies, aiming for a transformation that improves the quality of life of citizens.

Ukraine’s energy sector is a key battleground in the war with Russia

Ukraine’s energy sector is a key battleground in the war with Russia
Ukraine successfully navigated the 2024-2025 heating season, a crucial test, aided by favorable weather, international support, and domestic efforts to restore infrastructure and develop new distributed and decentralized generation capacities. The energy system’s future stability now depends on protecting infrastructure, integrating new capacities, and addressing financial challenges in the sector.

Energy Transition in Poland. Edition 2025

Energy Transition in Poland. Edition 2025
Poland’s energy transition is gaining momentum, and although it still lacks coherent and strategic policy documents to guide it. there are now tangible results: in 2024, coal’s share in electricity production fell to a record low of 56.2%. At the same time, the role of renewable energy sources (RES) is growing, with their share in electricity generation reaching 29.4%. However, the development of RES continues to be hindered by legislative barriers and a lack of institutional coordination (among ministries, regulators, system operators, and local governments). Poland has completely stopped importing gas and coal from Russia but is becoming increasingly dependent on other suppliers—in 2023, energy imports reached 45%. The eighth edition of the report Energy Transition in Poland. Edition 2025 by Forum Energii shows that while change is happening, it remains inconsistent, costly, and insufficient in the face of current challenges.

European Union Energy Security. How can we become independent from Russian fuels by the end of 2027?

European Union Energy Security. How can we become independent from Russian fuels by the end of 2027?
For more than three years, the European Union has been reducing its dependence on Russian fossil fuels, treating this as a key element of its security policy, which at the same time is consistent with its climate policy. Despite the introduction of initiatives such as the RePowerEU plan or the roadmap published in May 2025 to move away from energy imports from Russia, member states are still spending billions of euros on Russian raw materials. In a new report entitled The energy security of the European Union. How to become independent from Russian fuels by the end of 2027? Forum Energii, and independent think tank from Poland supporting the energy transition, and the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), an independent think tank that monitors the impact of the energy sector on the climate, the economy, and public health, show that complete independence of the EU from Russian energy sources is possible. However, it requires concrete action and solidarity compliance with sanctions by all member states.

Capacity and Flexibility: What Kind of Capacity Market Does a Modern Power System Need?

Capacity and Flexibility: What Kind of Capacity Market Does a Modern Power System Need?
In the first six months of this year, Poland wasted the potential to generate nearly 800 GWh of electricity from renewable energy sources—more than in the entire year of 2024. The growing mismatch between energy consumption and the output of wind and solar power plants is driving up the cost of operating the system month by month. Meanwhile, demand for electricity is increasing during the winter when there is less sunlight and some days are windless. At the same time, costly and depreciated coal units are approaching decommissioning. Two key needs emerge: making the system more flexible, and encouraging investments in new capacity that can operate effectively under the new system. These challenges, along with an analysis of the relationship between capacity adequacy and system flexibility, and recommendations for a reformed capacity market, are addressed in the latest report by Forum Energii, developed in cooperation with Magnus Energy, a pan-European energy transition consultancy, titled Capacity and Flexibility: What Kind of Capacity Market Does a Modern Power System Need?

Investment Horizon. Conclusions from Modeling the Polish Energy System to 2040

Investment Horizon. Conclusions from Modeling the Polish Energy System to 2040
Poland has just completed its presidential elections, yet strategic decisions regarding the future of the energy sector—including the development of new generation capacities (notably renewables) and the modernisation of district heating—still await resolution. The revision of the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and a strategy for the heating sector are also still pending. In response to the need for a deeper debate on the direction of Poland’s energy transition, Forum Energii has published a new report entitled The Time for Investment: Insights from Energy System Modelling for Poland 2040.

Webinar | EU Together. Joint, cost-effective actions to fully end dependence on Russian fuels

The EU energy security paradigm is changing. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine demonstrated again that energy supplies can be used as a political weapon. Breaking Europe’s dependence on Russian energy is in its interest, not only for energy security but also to preserve Europe’s sovereignty and ensure price and supply predictability. If the energy transition can be carried out in a planned, united and consistent way, it will be safe for all EU Member States.
