Abstract: Purpose: The key aim of this article is to identify the place, role, and significance of prosumers in the energy transformation of the Polish economy and the associated challenges Design/Methodology/Approach: In our research, we link energy transformation with an economic model in which, along with increased control over production and access to products and services by customers, the complexity of relationships within the entire energy sector increases. Findings: The article finds the new perspective on the role, place, and limits of prosumer participation in the energy system, as well as in-depth studies that would identify not only the positive but also the negative effects of this market's development.. Practical implications: The research creates the basis for future research is essential for better understanding and recognizing the role of energy prosumers' potential in the energy transition. Originality: We demonstrate that managing such relationships requires continuously solving increasingly complex multidisciplinary problems, not only at the level of individual entities but also at local and global levels. Thus, we address a research gap by emphasizing the need to find an economic model that, while promoting the development of prosumerism, ensures energy security and meets the requirements of sustainable development.
