Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the assumptions and implementation of the energy security policy realized by Beata Szydło’s and Mateusz Morawiecki’s government. The decisions of the Polish government were limited to coal mining restructuring, the share of coal and brown coal in the structure of primary energy consumption in Poland, the reduction of greenhouse gases emission in the atmosphere and the development of renewable energy sources. The issue was presented in the context of Poland’s obligations arising from the European Union climate and energy policy by 2020 and 2030. The author noted the reasons of Polish government’s reluctance towards green energy and its development in the EU countries. The consequences that Poland may incur as a result of its failure to satisfy the EU’s condition were examined.
