Polish energy sector is moving away from the principles of sustainable development and this causes serious tensions within the European Union. Continuation of current trends may lead to ecological catastrophe. Europe and the world invest in zero-emission sources not only for ecological reasons. These sources, especially solar and wind energy subject to an inevitable decline in energy costs in the long term, and also mitigate risks related to fuel costs escalations and reduce costs of adjustments of coal fired plants to the environmental regulations. The authors of this article indicate that the efforts should be made towards rapid development of totally emission-free renewable energy sources and gradual displacement of combustion processes in the power industry. This transition cannot be implemented without seasonal heat storages and integration (market coupling) of heat and electricity markets.

While assessing the future of coal-fired power plants on the European power market, a thorough analysis of regulatory, macroeconomical and technological development must be performed. Given the uncertainty surrounding the above aspects in a longer term, the investment strategy within the coal-fired generation should largely be based on available and future support mechanisms, which are essential for economical predictability of these sources, regardless of their usefulness for security of supply in the power sector.
