AN ANALYSIS OF OFFICIALLY PUBLISHED STATISTICS PERTAINING TO POWER SYSTEM GREENIFICATION.

In this work we try to capture some interdependencies between macro-level statistical variables related to energy system decarbonisation, to explore whether they produce reasonably expected results, or they are not able to capture essence of the phenomena, (probably) due to the lack of detail in underlying data. Our brief calculations on specific macro-level data revealed that they are not good to enable drawing clear conclusions, usable for presentation of energy policy results to the public. They produce sometimes illogical, or at least unexpected, results that call for more elaborated microanalyses. Since the presented statistical analyses were not able to reproduce expected causal relationships between the key macro-variables, any presentation of the policy results based on them could be questioned.
