Within the sustainable development (SD) paradigm, the European Green Deal (EGD) sets dynamic energy transition goals for the European Union (EU). However, diverse dynamics among member states, exacerbated by events like the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, directly influence this progress. This paper aims to present the energy transition course in EU countries up against the implementation of the objectives of the EGD. This paper conducts a thematic (scoping) literature review and comparative analysis of energy transition progress in all EU countries, concentrating on Poland, which faces unique challenges, including a sluggish pace of energy transition and the effects of the Russian invasion on Ukraine in this regard. Recommendations for Poland include an intensified focus on investments in renewable energy sources (RES) and low-carbon installations. The results demonstrate that collective success in SD necessitates each EU member fulfilling national climate goals, emphasising the need for a unified commitment to navigate complexities and build a sustainable future.

W ramach paradygmatu zrównoważonego rozwoju, Europejski Zielony Ład wyznacza dynamiczne cele trans-formacji energetycznej dla Unii Europejskiej (UE). Zróżnicowana dynamika między państwami członkowskimi, zaostrzona przez wydarzenia takie jak pandemia COVID-19 i wojna w Ukrainie, wpływa jednak na tempo jego wdrożenia. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest omówienie przebiegu transformacji energetycznej w krajach UE w kontekście realizacji celów Europejskiego Zielonego Ładu. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi tematyczny (zakresowy) przegląd literatury oraz analizę porównawczą postępu transformacji energetycznej we wszystkich krajach członkowskich UE, koncentrując się na Polsce, która stoi przed szczególnymi wyzwaniami, w tym powolnym tempem wdrożenia mechanizmów transformacji energetycznej i skutkami napaści Rosji na Ukrainę w tym zakresie. Rekomendacje dla Polski obejmują kładzenie większego nacisku na inwestycje w odnawialne źródła energii (OZE) i instalacje niskoemisyjne. Wyniki wskazują, że wspólny sukces w zakresie zrównoważonego rozwoju wymaga od każdego członka UE realizacji krajowych celów klimatycznych, podkreślając potrzebę wspólnego zaangażowania w budowanie zrównoważonej przyszłości.
