Abstract
Transformation of the energy sector, including heating, is one of the most important and currently the most widely discussed issues related to national and European climate and energy policy. The Polish heating industry is under enormous pressure, and changes are taking place very dynamically. This is due to the accumulation of many factors, the most important of which is reflected in the current situation related to energy security and in the set of EU regulations entitled “European Green Deal”. The aim of the presentation is to present the necessary transformations which must undergo the processes of production and distribution of heat energy in the context of the necessity to implement the principles of sustainable development. Managing and making decisions in the era of energy transformation within three areas of sustainable development: social, environmental, as well as economic and technical requires including many contradictory criteria that must take into account a long-term perspective. Decisions made in all of these areas need to reflect the long-term trade-off between maintaining environmental integrity, social justice and economic efficiency while engaging and meeting the expectations of stakeholders. As a result of the conducted research, the main areas of transformation of producers and suppliers of thermal energy will be indicated.
Keywords: Heat energy production, heat energy distribution, energy transformation, heat engineering, sustainable development.
