Institute for Renewable Energy (IEO) was founded in 2001 as an independent research group/think-tank. It is the first private scientific institute in Poland with in-depth knowledge of the entire field of renewable energy, ranging from energy policy and law, electricity prices and tariff forecasts, PPAs, economic and financial analyses of the electric power industry (solar and wind power) and the heating industry (RES, heat storage, sector integration), to technical and design aspects. It is continuously monitoring the RES market and actions of the state administration as well as EU institutions under the watchdog formula.
IEO has very extensive experience as a technical and business advisor (due-diligence, assumptions for technical solutions, functional and utility programs, feasibility studies, business plans, introduction of innovations in the company) in investment processes in the renewable energy sector, carried out by companies and local governments, as well as in research and demonstration projects conducted within the framework of EU research programs.
IEO offers postgraduate studies "Renewable energy for business” and trainings in the area of RES technology, market, economics and law for domestic energy companies and foreign institutions (chambers of commerce, banks and energy companies).
IEO has developed dozens of expert reports and analyses concerning the energy market, business models for the renewable energy sector and the RES equipment manufacturing industry, economic analyses and forecasts for government institutions, public institutions, the European Commission, business clients, as well as dozens of international and domestic research projects. Since 2020, through the company GigaPV, it has been running a construction project of a giga-manufacturing plant for a new generation of solar cells.
For the past eleven years, IEO has published an annual report, "Photovoltaic market in Poland".
