Course description: Legal Aspects of Energy Management
This course provides an overview of the legal frameworks governing energy management, with a particular focus on renewable energy sources (RES), energy efficiency, and local energy governance. It covers national and EU-level regulations, licensing systems, and instruments supporting sustainable energy development. Special attention is given to legal responsibilities of municipalities (gminy) in planning, managing, and implementing energy-related tasks, including public procurement, local energy plans, and environmental requirements. The course aims to build an understanding of how law shapes energy transition and supports climate and energy policy goals.
Course objectives:
To present the legal foundations of energy management in national and EU law, including the legal status of energy carriers and energy infrastructure.
To provide knowledge on legal mechanisms promoting renewable energy sources (RES) and their integration into the energy system.
To explain the regulatory instruments supporting energy efficiency, including obligations, incentives, and control mechanisms.
To examine the legal competencies and responsibilities of municipalities (gminy) in the field of local energy policy, including planning, investment, and cooperation.
To introduce the tools of administrative law (e.g. permits, environmental decisions, public consultation) used in energy-related projects.
To develop the ability to analyze and interpret legal acts in the context of energy policy implementation.
