The “My Electricity” Program as One of the Ways to Reduce CO<sub>2</sub> Emissions in Poland

One way to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions is to replace conventional energy sources with renewable ones. In order to encourage prosumers to invest in renewable energy, EU Member States are developing renewable energy subsidy programs. In Poland, in the years 2019–2020, the “My Electrici...
