F. Woch, Józef Hernik, Urszula Wiklina, Monika Tolak · 2014 · Polish Journal of Environmental Studies

Summary. This study evaluates whether a rural Polish municipality can meet its energy needs using renewable sources. Researchers assessed solar, hydro, wind, and biogas potential in Rakow municipality through 2020. Currently, renewables cover only 2.2% of total energy demand and 24% of electricity demand. However, renewable heat production already exceeds local needs by 20% and could reach 256% with biomass from set-aside land, creating exportable surplus energy.
