The authors of the publication take, as a starting point for their deliberations, an analysis of Polish energy security in the wider EU context, with particular emphasis on the structure of natural gas supplies to Polish in recent years. A comparison is made of the structure of natural gas consumption in Poland with the trends for gas use in other EU countries According to the authors, the investment plans of energy companies show an interest in the development of gas energy, with the main barrier to development being the high gas prices.
