Who is a Virtual Prosumer? Settlement Rules in 2025
Using a photovoltaic installation grants the user the status of a prosumer. However, the current provisions of the Renewable Energy Sources Act distinguish between different types of renewable energy prosumers. As of July 2, 2025, in addition to individual, tenant, and collective prosumers, the virtual prosumer model also comes into effect. Who exactly are these users of photovoltaic systems, and what sets them apart from a "regular" prosumer?
Central Energy Market Information System – A Change in the Energy Market. What Does the Introduction of CSIRE Mean?
As of July 1, 2025, the Central Energy Market Information System (CSIRE) is operational in Poland. Although its full implementation will take place in a year’s time, we can already see whether the centralized transmission, storage, and sharing of electricity market data is actually working. What exactly is CSIRE, and how does it function?
Green Marketing for Companies – How to Implement It?
Environmental protection, conscious care for preserving its values and biodiversity, promoting pro-environmental attitudes, and optimizing business activities are the key principles of green marketing. When companies define areas for development and create strategic and operational plans, their implementation can help eliminate the destructive impact on the planet. At this stage, questions and doubts often arise - What exactly is green marketing?
Electricity production in Poland – how can the carbon footprint of the energy sector be reduced?
Planning global energy and energy security requires countries to develop so-called energy mixes. This refers to the structure of energy production and consumption, taking into account the energy carriers and methods of generation. For many years, Poland has been known for an energy mix dominated primarily by coal. Are these trends changing? What does the structure of electricity production in Poland look like?
Three-phase electricity – is it a more eco-friendly solution for households and businesses?
Access to electricity is necessary to use any device, whether it’s a kettle or an industrial machine. At the stage of designing a building’s electrical installation, it becomes necessary to choose between a single-phase and a three-phase system. How do they differ from each other? And is three-phase electricity more eco-friendly?
Solar Energy – how does It work and why Is it worth investing in?
Solar energy is one of the fastest-growing areas of renewable energy. It is inexpensive, maintenance-free, and at the same time generates real profits while requiring relatively small financial outlays. Its importance for businesses, as well as for individual consumers, is steadily increasing, as the numbers clearly show. In 2023, the total global capacity of photovoltaic installations exceeded 1,400 GW. Read on to find out why investing in solar energy is worthwhile!
When was electricity discovered? The history of its discovery and the development of electric power
Most of us no longer realize that life without electricity today would be practically impossible. Yet humanity only learned to harness electric power in the 19th century with the invention of the first electric cell, even though we were aware of the existence of atmospheric discharges much earlier. Who, then, discovered electricity—and when?
Gravitational energy storage – how it works and is it the future of electricity storage?
As the world struggles with an increasingly severe environmental crisis, the demand for Renewable Energy Sources is rising dramatically. Wind and tidal energy are strongly limited by location, while solar energy seems widely available and inexhaustible, but its efficiency suffers due to the day–night cycle. One of the modern innovations addressing this challenge is gravitational energy storage. How does this solution work?
Geothermal energy – how it works and whether it can be an important source of energy in the future?
Among renewable energy sources, geothermal energy is usually not mentioned among the top options. For this reason, most investors don’t even consider using it. And that’s a shame, because the geochemical processes occurring inside the Earth generate truly large amounts of heat that—if properly harnessed—can be used in everyday operations. But what exactly is geothermal energy, and how can it be exploited?
Power outage – causes, solutions, and where to report a failure?
Access to electricity today seems like something completely natural. In practice, however, short-term outages occur regularly, significantly disrupting the lives of not only consumers but especially entrepreneurs, whose ability to conduct business typically depends on having a reliable power supply.
What are the common causes of power outages?
Who should you report them to, and what can you do to minimize the negative effects of such failures?
