This paper discusses analysis of the innovative activities of mining companies in the years 2016–2018 against the background of innovation active industrial enterprises. In addition, reference is made in the article to the previous findings and research in the field of the level of innovation of mining companies. Despite the fact that the mining industry belongs to traditional industries and is considered to be not very innovative, it undertakes innovation activities necessitated by the need to bring the coal-fired power generation to market competitiveness, ensure industrial safety of miners and environmental protection. In recent years, mainly process innovations have been introduced, which is due to ongoing industry-restructuring processes. Despite the risks, the industry should recognise the opportunities in the current situation and try to use them for further innovations. The main objectives of the energy sector included in the Program for the hard coal mining sector in Poland should be pursued particularly through building new knowledge and innovation intensive competitive advantages. The implementation of clearly defined directions of innovation strategy in accordance with the provisions of the documents governing the Mining of Hard Coal section in Poland will enable its later functioning, country's energy independence and competitiveness of the national economy.
