An analysis was carried out to show whether the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship (Poland) could become energy self-sufficient. The technical potential of electricity and heat from renewable sources has been calculated. The calculated values are 6.93 TWh/year of electricity and 15.84 PJ/year of heat—these amounts would ensure the energy independence of the Voivodeship. The Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship is an example of transformation towards “green” energy, it shows that such transformation is also possible in Poland even in short term. This would reduce air pollution as well as limit the import of energy resources. It is very important, it allows us to think with optimism and implement Poland’s energy transformation towards renewable energy (RE). Additionally, a SWOT analysis of each type of RE in the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship was presented. The SWOT analysis makes it possible to identify the strengths, weaknesses, prospects and threats for RE in the Voivodeship and the whole country. It has been found that there is a great interest of investors in RE in the Voivodeship, there is usually a great public support for new energy sources, and the biggest barriers are high investment costs and complicated law in Poland.

能否实现能源自给自足？Warmińsko-Mazurskie省的案例研究（波兰）

进行了一项分析，以表明沃米斯科-马祖斯基省（波兰）是否可以成为能源自给自足的国家。已经计算了可再生资源的电和热的技术潜力。计算得出的值为6.93 TWh /年的电力和15.84 PJ /年的热能-这些量将确保各省的能源独立性。瓦尔米斯科-马祖斯基省是向“绿色”能源转型的一个例子，它表明，即使在短期内，这种转型在波兰也是可能的。这将减少空气污染并限制能源的进口。这非常重要，它使我们能够乐观地思考并实施波兰向可再生能源（RE）的能源转型。此外，还对Warmińsko-Mazurskie省的每种RE类型进行了SWOT分析。通过SWOT分析，可以确定省级和全国RE的优势，劣势，前景和威胁。已经发现，在省里，投资者对可再生能源有极大的兴趣，通常对新能源有很大的公众支持，最大的障碍是波兰的高投资成本和复杂的法律。
