An analysis of the consumption of energy resources in 1990 and 2010 revealed a significant change in the consumption pattern – the proportion of firewood rose. However, a draft strategy for the country’s energy industry in 2030 envisages a very sharp increase in the consumption of renewable energy sources (RES). The present research identifies the possibilities for increasing the production of RES. It shows the possibilities for increasing the production of firewood and outlines the significant possibilities for increasing the production of RES in agriculture. It was ascertained that the achievement of targets to increase the output of RES by 30% in 2020 and by 70% in 2030 compared with 2010 was possible.
