To understand historical changes in energy performance of economy or specific sector, it is useful to evaluate the driving forces underlying these changes. Structural decomposition analysis allows identifying the impact of the external factors, such as technological, demand, and demographic effects on the fluctuations of the total energy use, CO2 emissions, and other socio-economic indicators. This study applies methods of structural decomposition analysis to determine relative prominence of diverse sources of changes in the energy use in the Polish economy and its main sectors between 2000-2015. The author presents the methodology of decomposition into different explanatory factors, among which energy savings based on top-down indicators, which allows showing additionally what the role of energy efficiency improvements is at the level of the different sub-sectors and end-uses. The analysis is extended into comparison to European statistics in the context of implementation and monitoring of the UE indicative energy targets.

Celem lepszego zrozumienia historycznych zmian charakterystyki energetycznej gospodarki i poszczególnych sektorów, konieczne jest określenie sił napędowych tych tendencji. Metoda ta pozwala zidentyfikować wpływ czynników zewnętrznych, takich jak zmiany technologiczne, popytowe i demograficzne, na wahania całkowitego zużycia energii, emisji CO2 oraz innych wskaźników społeczno-gospodarczych. W badaniu wykorzystano metodę dekompozycji strukturalnej do określenia relatywnego znaczenia różnorodnych źródeł zmian w zużyciu energii w polskiej gospodarce i jej głównych sektorach w latach 2000-2015. W artykule przedstawiono metodologię dekompozycji na różne czynniki objaśniające, która uwzględnia oszczędności energii oparte na wskaźnikach typu „top-down”, co pozwoliło wskazać, jaka była rola poprawy efektywności energetycznej w zmianach zużycia energii na poziomie różnych podsektorów i użytkowników końcowych. Analiza została poszerzona o zestawienie porównawcze ze statystykami europejskimi w kontekście wdrażania i monitorowania celów energetycznych UE.
