The basic model forecasting renewable power generation is based primarily on weather forecasts at locations with the highest concentration of wind and photovoltaic farms. On the demand side, on the other hand, we have projected power demand, which also depends to some extent on the weather. Information on holidays is also important because then it […]

The beginning of 2023 brought the first signs of a change in this trend, but these only apply to certain types of ships. […]

An analysis of the factors affecting the availability of natural gas in Poland in 2023 allows us to conclude that those that support demand reduction, and therefore the security of supply, will be prevalent. The main factors influencing the formation of gas demand. Factors supporting assumptions about the reduction of demand for gas fuels in […]

Analysis of the factors influencing prices suggests a relative balance of factors supporting the rise and fall of prices.Allowance prices in the EU ETS have long remained the highest of any emissions trading system emissions globally. This is influenced in the long term by both legal ( in force and planned), political and economic. In […]
