The negative assessment of the work on the necessary amendments to the Energy Law does not apply to its objectives, since these are mainly determined by the EU regulations, they were also associated with the need to regulate the sector. The negative assessment, therefore, relates to the transparency and strategic vision of the changes – it is difficult to say that we were dealing with them in the period in question, which may be surprising, because at the end of the year the next Polish "energy policy" was to be prepared. Of course, it is impossible not to mention the fact that the prolonging work on the regulations in the energy sector was also influenced by activities of various interest groups, which tried to use this opportunity to secure a privileged "legal position" (RES sector, different types of renewable energy, conventional energy sector). All of these elements affected the lack of stability of the law, which after all should be the determinant of a democratic rule of law. During 2012/2013 we deal with the intensification of work on the regulations in the energy sector. The work does not only concern the issue of renewable energy sources, however, the three major acts, namely the Energy Law, Gas Law and Renewable Energy Law significantly affect the processes of regulation of this sector and its financing. Other works were on the nuclear energy law or the transmission corridors act. New solutions and potential political decisions on the directions of adding variety to the "energy mix" will affect Polish energy security over the next decade.
