Poland’s energy dependence - economic context

Poland does not have vast resources of non-renewable energy and no nuclear power plant, therefore the issue of the energy dependence of the state, which affects the level of energy security of the country, is an extremely important factor. It depends on both the volume of imports of energy raw materials and the policy of diversification of sources of supply regarding this type of raw materials. Energy infrastructure, which allows for the transmission, distribution and storage of raw materials and energy, is of great importance in terms of security.  The following dataset presents Poland's dependence on raw materials from foreign partners - in the field of imports of electricity, natural gas, crude oil, non-renewable energy resources, i.e., hard coal and lignite, and the country’s dynamics in the amount of imports. The second part of the dataset shows the dynamics of exports of energy resources in Poland.
