COMPARISON OF CHOSEN WIND ENERGY ASPECTS OF VISEGRAD COUNTRIES IN CONTEXT OF EU SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SECTOR DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT

The purpose of this paper is a comparison of chosen wind Energy sectors aspects in Visegrad Group countries, which is not found in the subject’ literature. Authors show basic concepts of Energy sector development management based on literature review. It has been indicated that there is no joint decisive voting action in EU of the ally, which consequently leads to lack of common, homogenous Energy policy and weakens a position of V4 as a whole, leaving each of the member individual and separated in their efforts to maintain sustainable Energy development. Authors perform a characteristics of a specified issues of Energy areas and share of wind Energy in it, basing on conducted research and analysis of statistical historical data in order to compare them. Moreover, areas of possible growth and development directions are shown, basing on geographical specification. The paper is constructed as follows: introduction, Energy sector development management issues, characteristics and comparison of Visegrad countries wind Energy, conclusions.
