Abstract
The subject of this article is the issues related to the obligation to implement into Polish law the provisions of the European Union (EU) law concerning citizen energy communities (CECs) and renewable energy communities (RECs), contained in Directives 2019/944 and 2018/2001. The method of implementing the provisions of EU law into Polish law is to be based on the establishment of a single set of regulations, as provided for in the draft Act amending the Energy Law and certain other Acts of 26 January 2023 (draft No. UC74 developed by the Ministry of Climate and Environment). It is to include regulations relating to both types of communities (CECs and RECs), but to use only one name – CECs. The article presents and critically analyses the proposed regulations and the adopted method of their allocation in the acts of Polish law.
