The development of the economies of European countries depends on stable and permanent access to various energy sources such as oil, gas, and coal. Securing the certainty of the necessary minimum energy supply in each country is a basic condition for the energy security of the state and its citizens. The current status and the most probable scenario for the power industry sector shows that the global demand for power will increase between 2000 and 2030 at a rate of 1.8% per year. The energy market in the European Union is under the process of internal integration. Energy transformation requires changes in the structure of energy production in the energy balances of member states in order to achieve the assumed environmental goals. Monitoring the transformation process is a scientific problem in which taxonomic methods are used. The aim of the article is to identify diagnostic variables for comparative analysis of the level of development of energy markets in selected European Union member states. International Atomic Energy Agency United Nations Organizations present an original set of 41 indicators for sustainable energy development, which can be divided into groups such as indicators on energy resources, the efficiency of their use, environmental pollution during the exploitation of energy resource and energy production technologies, economic indicators, accessibility to energy for society, energy dependence. Based on forty-one indicators, the availability of data for testing was analyzed. Finally, diagnostic variables were selected for which the available data was collected from the Eurostat database and transformed to the level required in the research. The research results will present the level of development of the Polish energy market in relation to other countries and differences in this respect.
