Summary/Abstract: Geothermal energy can be an interesting source of renewable energy in many respects. Among its numerous uses, industrial use is most desired. The aim and purpose of the article was to show the importance of renewable energy sources i.e. geothermal energy in industrial use in Poland.

The publication presents the nature of the geothermal power industry, its role and significance for economies in the world and in Poland. Countries that make the most use of geothermal installations are mentioned. Conditions and barriers resulting from the use of geothermal energy are presented. A special place in this publication is given to the industrial use of geothermal power in Poland. As an example, the first geothermal plant was established in our country in Banska Nizna. The presented data is illustrated with tables and graphs. The research method used in the article was the analysis of existing data and literature review. The assumption that geothermal energy can be an important source of energy for industrial use is the thesis. However, it must take into account both its advantages and shortcomings.
