A fundamental element of the ongoing energy transformation (ET) in Poland is the economic dimension of this process, encompassing aspects related to the optimization of system costs, financing and maximization of positive externalities. The article presents the authors’ experience in the scope of the aforementioned issues resulting from their participation in the implementation of scientific and research works, including: (1) works conducted in the project “Energy Transformation Observatory” financed as part of the competition for the strategic program of scientific research and development works “Social and economic development of Poland in the conditions of globalizing markets” GOSPOSTRATEG by the National Center for Research and Development and (2) many years of experience resulting from the construction of multidimensional fuel and energy models by the Energy Systems Modeling Team of AGH. The presented results illustrate the unique potential of AGH in the area of monitoring and programming the economic and technological aspects of ET in Poland, which allows for a greater application of the evidence-based policymaking principle to create national climate and economic policy.
